i've never been on a skateboard in my life.

but, seeming as i can't get across customs with a bicycle...

what i should do is try to find one in a pawn shop and just experiment with groceries. if i get used to it, and find it useful, i should at least be able to take it back and forth across customs.

of course, i could never get into the bar with one. what do you do with your board when you take it to a concert? you probably just don't take your board to the concert.

considering the number of punk shows i've been to, it's actually odd that i've never noticed what people do with their boards. and somebody or other must be transiting with these things...

given that i'm talking about moving upwards of twenty-thirty km on one of these things, an electric one seems like a smarter choice, but they're like $1000.
