Tips for someone wanting to start skateboarding?

I've always wanted to skateboard so bad because the tricks I watch these people do are just amazing!


I have a board that's nothing special but what shoes are the best for skate boarding (I have airwalk which I've heard are decent) and what are some other tips?


Thanks so much!

Tips for someone wanting to start skateboarding?
Its cool that u want to skate board.


1st get a good board, not those cheap waltmart ones. Figure out if u ride regular or goofy. Get good shoes like DC, Etnies, DVS ect. But buy guy shoes, the girls skate shoes dont last as long as the guy ones, and they dont grip as well either. Than try getting a helmet so u dont hurt yourself. Learn some tricks, and know the names, or u will get called a poser. Dont wear ambercombie or (how ever u spell it) hollister or any of that prep brands. Buy clothes from like element, volcom, fox ect. and have fun!!!


oh, and i almost forgot, try talking bad about people, its fun xD
Reply:If you want to start to start skateboarding, Here are some tip you might want to accompilished. Safety always comes first so, make sure you always where a Helmet and elbow and knee pads. Also, if you just starting to skateboard I would just go up and down the sidewalk and the street, but make sure there is no cars. Then, WHen come really good and feel comfortable you can try some rails or ramps. Good Luck! I hope these were a big help.
Reply:well after you lean your ollie and simple stuff like shuv-it go hit a skate park and learn to ride the ramps and do easy stuff like rock to fakie, axle stall. then go get a real board cuz im assumming u probaly got one from walmart or something so go to ur local skateshop and buy a whole new board cuz itll help alot cuz walmart boards suck and got no pop or grip. then get some real skate shoes, airwalks have no grip and they are considered "poser" shoes by many real skaters. get a good real skate shoe like supra,fallen,osiris,emerica. and last when ever u are doing ay trick remember keep ur weight balanced on board (dont lean off to one side) and stay over ur board and most important just have fun ull be real good i no time.

lol


well be careful


wear a helmet the first few times (or all the time)


because when one of my friends started


she was rushed to the hospital because she hit her head


and she wasn't wearing a helmet


and start off slow


don't rush into the tricks right away
Reply:you should wear any tyoe of flat sneakers, like etnies. and just start using the board everyday to get used to it. when you go to the store skate instead of driving. the more confortable you are with the board the faster you can start tricks
Reply:I've actually just started long-boarding! Doing all those fancy tricks takes LOOOTS of practice... long boarding isn't even all that hard. I'm really clumsy and I can do it! I hear Vans shoes are the best.
Reply:You have the board and shoes, now all you need to do is practice alot!
Reply:don't start
Reply:start going to your local skate park and just start hanging out..kids will teach you for free
