Have you seen the TikTok videos of people effortlessly gliding around the streets on roller skates? Or a video of someone traveling to class on a pogo stick? Seeing things like these makes me want to drop my phone and invest an unhealthy amount of time, money and energy into becoming a pro at these activities. However, what usually happens is I try it out for a week or two, get upset that I’m not a master yet and end up quitting. Take this quiz to find out which outdoor activity you should try once and then quit forever!

7.   
   1. You should try roller-skating! You seem like you want to glide like a penguin, but you’re not quite ready to take your training wheels off yet. This is the perfect activity because the four wheels are arranged on the skates in a way that makes it somewhat easier to balance. You might get the hang of it, but it takes a lot of effort, perfect for a one-time excursion! Don’t forget to bend your knees and keep your receipt!
   2. You should try pogo-sticking! You seem like the type of person who prefers jumping to walking, as you should. Unfortunately, you might realize it’s not practical to use your pogo stick to go everywhere. It also gets repetitive after a while, unless you learn how to move forward without falling over! 
   3. You should try unicycling! You were meant not to travel on two legs but to slither around the city on one wheel. However, you’ll soon discover this is a difficult task if you have bad balance and are scared of falling. But at least you’ll be able to say you tried!
   4. You should try skateboarding! Once you get over the fear of the veteran skater boys judging you at the skate park, you should get a skateboard and learn how to do a kickflip or keep your balance without being afraid of falling off. After many attempts at trying to land a kickflip, you might get so frustrated that you break your skateboard and vow never to return to the sport again. I’m totally not speaking from experience here.
