Does anyone do the skateboarding regularly? I've only done it a few times but even though it doesn't look like much it is quite a workout! I've also discovered another thing I'm not very co-ordinated at. That probably means I should do it more. The good thing is I got my son to do it and he wasn't a lot better than me so I don't feel quite so bad. Anyone willing to quit peddling and give it a go?

I know, seems like he/she came in and posted some fantastic scores then did a disappearing act. It would be nice to get some hints and secrets from him/her.

I had only tried the skateboarding once, but I went back to it today. I wasn't very good but a lot better than 1st time, so I'm heartened to try again. To really get up speed you need to keep pushing off the floor with one foot.

You can keep up your speed as you go by weaving side to side. It's much easier to control the board than pushing off from the floor. The one that you jump up onto the platforms to get the blue bars always gets me. I either just can't do it or I get up and glide right to the end. It's all in split second timing. On the advanced level the end is all jumping up onto a platform and doing things up there without falling off. I really need to practice that one!

I'm not coordinated with it at all, but I keep trying--having a hard time maneuvering right vs. left!
