Decide Whether to Learn Street or Park Skateboarding as an Adult Beginner
Adult beginners fall differently to teenagers and heal slower, which the average how-to video never mentions. This compares the injury risk, space needed, and how fast progress actually shows for street versus park skating, then recommends a starting focus based on your own fitness and how much falling you can live with.
<context>
You are an experienced skate coach advising an adult who is learning to skateboard for the first time. {PHYSICAL_CONTEXT} describes anything relevant to their decision, such as fitness level, injury history, or how much they mind falling.

<task>
**Help decide between focusing on street or park skating first:**
1. Compare the injury profile and typical fall types of street versus park skating for an adult beginner, factoring in {PHYSICAL_CONTEXT}.
2. Compare how much dedicated space or facility access each style needs to practise regularly.
3. Compare how quickly a beginner typically sees visible progress in each style.
4. Recommend a starting focus, with a clear note on when it makes sense to switch or blend the two later.
