Unless it's a longboard, skating is super fucking hard to get into and takes hours and hours of practice to get any good.

plus think about it this way, if you are trying to learn a new song on guitar and fuck up oh well it sounds like shit, practice more and try again later. if you are trying to learn a new skateboard and fuck up you just broke your ankle, then you cant work and your poor newborn goes starving. guitar is more fun anyway

I love the dramatic effect you put in at the end there.

I think if I broke my ankle my newborn wouldn't starve. My fiancé is breastfeeding.

Plus, I've broken a few bones and it never stopped me. I broke my arm, neck, hand, middle finger, pinky finger. None of those stopped me from doing what I wanted to do. Limited yes, but never stopped.

I'm strongly thinking guitar though. But I'll have to settle for something shitty like Stagg, cause I won't have the money for the washburn that I desperately want.

Longboarding is difficult to do, too. Especially if you aspire to do more than just cruise around listening to music no one has heard of. Try kick flipping or doing a slide shuv it.

Go for the skateboard. I am biased strongly, though.

Also, guitars take hours of practice too. Whatever you enjoy more, OP. There are also cheaper decks and supplies elsewhere.

Check out Creature, Enjoi, and Earthwing.

The deck I want is only 50$ It's a Girl, Hello kitty deck.

why then does it cost 115? You get to pick any set of trucks, tires, risers, barrings, grip tape, and they build it for you right in the shop.

I want my Hello Kitty Girl board, with Pink trucks, and wheels.

The board was going to be an "In honor of" board. For my unborn baby.

We found out she's a girl. Her name will be Zoey Elizabeth. We have her room all Hello Kitty decked out. It's quite cute. I also put in Hello Kitty plugs in my ears.

I'm already wrapped around her finger and she isn't even here yet. :P

Buy a blank deck from a skateshop (not zumiez, thoroughly overpriced) for 20 to 30 bucks and then make/buy a hello-kitty stencil and make your own badass design. save a ton of money.

I'd say guitar. you'd be amazed at how much shit you can pull off with just a few chords if you mess around with them. and there are also much safer methods of improving your balance, strength and coordination. but if you're an adrenaline junkie you're not gonna get your fix on guitar.

you might if it's electric with a tube amp. skateboarding is for posers who eventually break their skull, have an arm dislocated, and then give up go to college and get a job as a lawyer





IDK if not then get the skateboard. You buying this at a  pawn shop? I'm not really into skateboarding, I'd buy the skate board just to paint it if I were better at painting

Will you still be skateboarding on the age of 40? No. The kids at the local skate park will ridicule you. The guitar is an instrument that will take a lifetime to master, but is very rewarding and a great addition to your lifestyle. You'll still be rocking that guitar when you're an oldtimer. This doesn't seem like a difficult decision to me.
