Yes you can learn. And its fairly easy if you have good reactions and a
well tuned sense of balance. Move easy..not quickly until you get the
hang of it. If yo are naturally agile..you will catch on quickly. If you
arent..it will take a day or two.

I STRONGLY recommend a helmet, gloves, knee and elbow pads. Rollerblade
gear.

You are not 15 anymore and smashing your elbow/knee/skull on the asphalt
will crack, chip or break something that takes a while to heal.
Protective padding worn properly will only allow you to hurt your ego,
not your bones.


I actually still heal very quickly.



Not from a closed head injury. At least wear a helmet if not all the other gear Gunner
recommended.

I cant speak for where Iggy lives..but protective gear of adult size is
commonly available at just about any second hand store here in
California. One can dress out completely for less than $10.
