Bagful of goods just for showing him how to skateboard? She’d be an idiot not to accept that offer. “Deal!” Setting her rifle to the side, North removed the board from her back before placing it on the floor. “But you’ve really never tried one of these out before?” She asked, planting a foot on top of it. “Well, it’s pretty easy once you’ve got your stance down and you’ve found your balance.”
Stepping fully onto the skateboard, she looked over at him hesitantly before she said, “I’m coming over there, so watch.” She pushed off with her back foot and cruised over to him, stopping only when she was a few short feet from him. “See? Now, you try.” She slid the board over to him with a gentle shove.
“We’ll start with the stance first, so, uhm, you know how, when you fall, one of your foot instinctively catches you first? Mine’s my left. So, that foot should go at the front over the truck bolts,” she pointed out, “Then, your other foot goes over the back truck bolts. After that, you just get a general feel for the board, see what's comfortable, y’know? Maybe try rocking back and forth a little or try balancing on just the back wheels.”
