Ah that doesn't sound fun! The plan is just to cruise around and not try anything too fancy or dangerous but as you say once the confidence kicks in I'm sure that will be out the window
Funny you should mention your first deck, I've been trying to remember which ones I had over the years too, but this was my first for my birthday in 1990. The original is long gone (gave it to a friend from memory) but by chance I stumbed across the reissue when it came out in 2012 and had to grab one. I rode it a few times then but couldn't get on with the shape of it, so I just keep it as a momento now. I'm getting on better with the more modern shape of the Alien Workshop one, but that was a bit of a nostalgia purchase too, I remember seeing that design in skate shops back in the mid 90s.
