Skate Diary 1: I did need new wheels

Yeah cruising the mean street of the park proved tricky as I found my wheels weren't as suited as I'd hoped.
The aren't marked but they are size 52(ish)mm size, I don't no the density though.
For those who don't know the mm size is the circumference of the wheel, and the density the thickness, the larger the wheel is gives you an easier ride with slow Acceleration due to having more grip, that's suited for the street, density (represented by 'A') is the whether the wheels will absorb impact (well, sorta) and also get more grip, the lower the density the more bounce giving you a smoother ride on normal roads, stopping small object tripping you up, the reverse which is for doing tricks so when you land you can plant your feet better, they are also more durable because they're thicker.
You don't need to know to much about the contact patch but Bart Simpsons one is huge. It's the old school 80s look. I don't want that.
To solve this I suppose a 60mm with 86(ish)A would be just enough, I'm getting a set from the Bones manufacturer.
I've taken a fare share of dropping today due to me newfound wheel problem (yes, it's the wheels fault, shut up!) but i'm gaining my balance back (and my confidence), I'm glad there weren't many people to see me fall on my jacksy.
You never really know how unfit you are till you start excercizing and boy, am I out of shape.
No attempt at tricks today, I'm for now just concentrating on going in a straight line without falling on my face (the later I'm failed at once).
I'm a little sore but I had fun relearning this young people stuff, I was just fine being grumpy. And on such a nice day too.
