Question, how long did it take for your balance to get really good on the board? First day on it I went from falling off in seconds to some decent cruising after a couple hours of practice. I'm currently able to cruise around pretty good but can't stop looking at my feet when I kick; guess the best way to beat that is to force myself to stop looking...
My biggest problem right now is still balance and really kicking. I'm in really good shape as a runner, but wear out super fast with how hard I kick and how often I gotta do it. Currently riding on slimeball 58mm 97's with bones red bearings. I did order some [ceramic bearings](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075QLMQW6 /ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) today hoping when I put them in I get some longer rides. It could also be the surfaces I've been riding on as well. Best ride I've had so far is on some fresh blacktop at the college I work at. Did practice at first in the parking garage top floor away from cars, but holy crap they did the concrete bad up there and its choppy as hell!
Thinking I'll take this other guys suggestion and go hit up my local skate park at 5am this saturday to beat the crowd and just cruise around.
Oh, and 30 YO new skaters unite!
It's pretty noticable regarding turning. Also, the big wheels might be the smoothest ride / commute that I've ever had... Setup:

Ceramic Bearings
I have tried them all and these are hands down the best you can buy for the money.
I won’t use any other bearings in my skates.
If you don’t want ceramic, I recommend these as an excellent alternative at an incredible price.
