Hey everybody!! I'm new in here and basically new to the whole sport. My dad rides and so does my step-brother but I haven't gotten into it until recently. My dad is trying to talk me into buying one. I have been riding his lately and I love it. I can't beleive after growing up watching my dad i havent gotten into it yet. Any tips anybody can give me would be great. OH! By the way... I am 18 Years old and I live in Hawaii. Thanks everyone! Hope to hear from you soon. Aloha ~Lani~
