Thats about the same price for new ones I found at Bicycle Shops near and around La Habra, Ca.
I know Jolly Well is an expert with things like this, but another clown posted some suggestions on how to get started such as finding a cyclone fence in a grassy area of a park to hold on to, to sort of get a sense of balance before falling where the good lord "splitcha." The other suggestion that I found helpful was, elbow and knee pads. The thing that I came with on my own was the gloves that I usually wear while riding my bicycle. It seems to be a new experience for the brain to deal with. Once you get control of the new balance requirements it just requires "doin it often" like every day. People seem to love watching. I just tell'em like Peewee Herman, "I meant to do that"
