* Don't feel intimidated by skaters that have more skill than you. The skate scene is a friendly community that welcomes you, and they all know how much time it takes to learn anything and nobody will ever mock you for your abilities. Everybody will applaud you for trying something beyond your abilities. * Nobody knows how long it will take anybody to learn anything. (All credit goes to Dr. Tae) [VIDEO]
