I can still remember the first time when I ride one without Dad holding it sideway I eventually crashed onto a car! Bang!
Seriously, you should have someone on your side to hold the bike straight for first several trials.

Was that in the same turn as you did your first accidental magic?
]]>Little did I know, that the snow plow did not in fact do the entire street. It had stopped short towards the end of my street where my house is. So I look up, and I realize that I am now riding on a sheet of ice going somewhere close to 20 miles per hour, and there is a curb about 30 meters in front of me.
I slammed on the breaks, and turned the bike 90 degrees and rode it while it was sliding along the ground. The tires hit the curb, which airlifted myself and the bike. Luckily, my impact was softened by a bush. Also, from the slide, my pants were packed with snow. A most unpleasant feeling. But I was not hurt.
Then there was another time in the spring, I was riding my bike. I knew my shoelace was untied, but didn't think much of it. The shoe lace got caught in the front tire spokes and the tire immediately stopped spinning. However, the back tire, because of momentum, kept going forward. The end result was my bike doing a flip with me in it. My chin hit the ground, then the bike came crashing on me. Again, only a few scratches and nothing major.

]]>But I can rollerskate/blade, and I'm still learning the skateboard.
