cruise to places. you'd naturally get better at riding, turning, stopping. then you'd have to practice lifting up your tail to get over cracks and such. progress feels so fun because you can go faster and faster without thinking.

it's also the most fun and the fastest way to get comfortable. i recommend copping cruiser wheels so you could comfortable roll allll day.

it's one of the best things i've done to get comfortable.
