Skateboard?

Thu Jun 4, 2009, 10:27 PM
So I live about 40 min walk from my university; alternative, it's about a 10 walk + 10 min busride. I really love the sunshine and I'd love to walk more often, but I am really lazy so I usually just catch the bus.... so I was thinking about getting a bike. But the uni I go to is super green so everyone bikes so it can be really tricky finding a place to tie your bike, plus I wear a lot of skirt and dresses (actually, even in the winter I very very very rarely wear pants! Just strap on some nylongs, big jacket, and boots and I keep wearing the skirts!) so riding a bike would restrict me to shorts.

So I was thinking maybe a skateboard instead? What is your opinions of them?? I sometimes think of them as like a '14 year old boy' thing, even though I know thats such a bad stereotype... you think a girly girl can pull of a skatebord without looking like an idiot? Because I would probably be wearing dresses and I have a big school bag.... don't know how realistic this is or how easy it is to learn!

Any thoughts appreciated!

I'm gonna ask what kind of commute it is to your uni.
If it's a pretty straight cruise I would suggest getting a longboard instead.
Sturdy and great for just goin for blocks and blocks.

Ps. If the sidewalks/roads get crowded it might become difficult to skate.

Ever thought of rollerblades?
Or a little sick bmx would be great too for getting where you need to go and looking badass lol

Well, I wear skirts all the time and Warsaw is really a terrible place to ride a bike, but I still do it and manage to sort things out. ^^
Have you thought of roller skates? They're really awesome. ^^
:iconkitton:
Yeah I think a skateboard would suit me better.... I considered getting some a longgg time ago but i never got into it I dunno....

Bikes are more expensive, too :0
:iconkitton:
slightly up and down, but mostly flat... I've heard good things about longboards, actually! Streets aren't too crowded the uni's sorta out in the boonies :)
:icondontachos:
I see. :3
Yeah, the bikes are more expensive but on the other hand, they're also good at longer distances, contrary to skateboarding. :) And I guess it's all a matter of personal taste -- but skateboard seems too slow for me while bikes are just perfect. :3
:iconlynn-chan:
Then I'd definately recommend a longboard :D
You could rock a dress and not have to worry. As long as you dont biff it, lol.

I kind of want one, but I would never use it haha

So you go to Uvic or is it that one that was a castle or something out in Colwood? I am assuming so seeing there is only 2 Uni's here in Vic. but yah I can see how you would be wearing dresses all year round it doesn't get that cold here. And if it is Uvic, I am assuming it isn't the St. Clair Hill way you go... LOL. But really it all depends on which Uni it is. NOt that there is many here heh..

UVIC and I go up MacKenzie, I live by the safeway/fairway/thrifties bunch of stuff haha!
:iconkitton:
Yeah but I'm scared I won't use it when I move... whatever... I'll be the crazy chick who momentarily rocked the longboard then haha!
:iconsneakyferret:
Or you could got some rollerskates!
