Thoughts on van-life skating? (lemm.ee)

I want to learn to skate and would love to go to lots of skateparks. I have almost no experience with skating and I'm also moving into a van to live in full-time in the near-ish future to travel around Australia, so I'm concerned that when I have injuries from skating I sometimes won't be able to drive temporarily, which is a huge issue. So living in a van seems it would make skating as a hobby a little bit difficult at times. I'm unsure if I should skate or how to work around this issue. What are your thoughts?

Yeah, you're right. I should probably just make sure I've got enough protection, especially in the legs and arms which I need the most to drive. Helmet is obviously something I'd always wear though. Mitigating the risks is probably more than enough to be safe.
