Fuck yeah! I am excited for you :) Remember, start slow, and if you skated in your youth don't be bummed if you can't do the same tricks right away/progress seems slower than it should. Just cruising around is fun as shit no matter who you are (once you get used to maintaining the necessary balance/speed control techniques).
