fffuuuuu....I could feel the cold-sweat starting just reading that!
1st time I ever sat on a bike, it seems I rode hell for leather straight forward and smacked into an innocent tree 15 feet away!

..1st time I ever got on a skateboard, I prompty crashed out in spectacular fashion seconds later.

..1st time I got behind the wheel of a car as a fresh faced learner I promptly pranged it! (got reverse gear by fluke and hit a fence 10 feet behind me)

Now I would LOVE to try and fly (glider, light plane, anything) but given the above record, I suspect my 1st attempt would be a very definite full stop to my life in motion.

still crashing into the roof of the town hall, on fire trailing electric cables, with a duck embedded in the cockpit windscreen would be a pretty cool exit all the same!

The good news ...
... for about the first several dozen times we send you flying with an instructor! So you'd probably survive ;-)
