hey guys, this might be a long post, sorry for that
I recently moved to a large city (cca 1mil ppl, biggest in my country sry) because I enrolled to uni (trying to give myself a 2nd chance and stuff, nvm that) and was thinking of getting a bike bcz I don't wanna waste money on trams and it's pretty good for getting to places fast,
but today I saw a guy riding a skateboard and, since some of my buddies ride skates etc, an idea came to me that I should just ride a skate to uni and back, since it's much cheaper than an average bike (I could buy a new skate for less than 30 euro)
so I guess my question is, what would you reccomend to a beginner 26yo cca 186cm tall (I guess 6'1-2-3'' for you ameriturds), cca 73kg (I guess 150lb)? how do I maintain balance and how do I turn and shit?
I just wanna ride the skate to uni and back (and ofc to other places), I'm not interested in doing any tricks, at least not for now
>inb4 longboard
they just seem kind of gay to me, no offense, sry, and I might wanna do an ollie here and there so there's that too
also, is 30euro too cheap for a full board? what is your recc?
anything else you add is valuable info for me so thanks in advance
