Things will pop up later. You'll need maintenance things for bearings and wheels and you'll want jumps and things. Start saving up now! Good luck, you'll have tons of fun. BTW, save some moolah for band-aids.

if your learning how to ollie and are a begginer you should get a thinner board becasue it lighter and if you can ollie decentlyly it is ok ot get a zero. it doest reallt matter any board will work. Dont be to picky. Its not a big deffrence till you are good casue then you get used to a certien board

Get your parents help\n\nhttp://www.dickssportinggoods.com/sm-skateboard-buyers-guide--bg-222934.html\n\nHere is a buyers guide from a sporting goods store. \nGet your parents help\nBuying a skateboard on line is not the best idea for your first board purchase. \nGo to a store like Target or Wal-Mart and check out there skateboards. Buying a expensive or cool skateboard will not make you a better skateboarder until you practice skateboarding. \nUse the money you saved to buy helmet, kneepads so you don't get hurt learning how to skate.

Assuming that you can ollie, start with kickflips, heelflips, frontside and backside 180's, frontside 5-0's, frontside 50-50's, frontside and backside boardslides. After you get that stuff down, you can step up to varial flips, 360 flips, frontside flips, backside flips, and maybe some some switch and nollie tricks. Just watch alot of skate videos and try to emulate what you see. You can also check out Transworld Skateboarding magazine.   They have alot of trick tips. Have fun, because that is what skateboarding is all about!\nwww.skateboarding.com

Most likely your board is fine. For a nollie what I did was I just learned to skate switch. Like I would ride around switch and then I learned to ollie that way. A nollie really is just a switch ollie. No comply on the other hand is a trick I'm still trying to learn myself.

I think it's possible.  I was lucky to have time to play with this my first week.  I won't be as lucky next week, so for me it will be pretty sporadic.  I hope it holds interest.  It's a lot of fun!

Ok.\n\nFirst of all, A board. Since your first starting to skate, you wanna get a good street board. From my view, ZERO is the best board to start with, they are easy to get used to, and have a lot of pop to get your ollies down. Other people have told me that Alien Workshop is also a really good beginners board, and they seemed pretty good boards....\nStay away from Birdhouse, [which is REALLY heavy, you will never be able to ollie with that], Blind [cheap and flimsy] and Element [Widely made, and made cheaply]. Believe me, get a Zero or an Alien Workshop.\n\nNext is shoes. It really doesnt matter what shoes you get [I like etnies, globe, and osiris], they are really all the same. It seems harder to ollie with DC's, but people i know can do just as good with them.\n\nBy far, the best truck brands are Phantom 2, and krux. I have heard Grind King are good, but i know personally that Phantom 2 and krux are reeeeaaallllyyyy good.\n\nAsk anyone, Zero Black Widow Bearings are by far the best bearings.\n\nSpitfire are the same for wheels.\n\nYou don't really have to completly dress like a skater, like the girl said, but dont wear like Abercrombie and skate, unless u wanna be called a poser. So if you want, get some skating brand shirts and hoodies, or just normal clothes that feel comfartable. [A t-shirt and blue jeans work fine for me...]

i haven't skated many blanks but i thought the blank decks from www.ccs.com are really good. they're cheap and they're really light. i dont know about durability though but i liked the one i skated.

i bought my enjoi off eBay for 50 bucks from tgm skateboards and there are other good boards there. when i got it i only had to replace the trucks because they were to heavy and the grip tape because it was flat. but i think eBay is the best place to buy them. \n\nif you looking for a good brand i recommend: enjoi,element,birdhouse,flip or zero

Zero skateboards r the lightest and also it depends on the trucks too, u should get Grind king trucks, Bam ball bearings, and Flip whells, also u should get Dark magic grip tape, get one of those Jamie Thomas training videos. Good luck on becoming a sk8er
