Wow...that's a long list!  Well, here are a couple of online directories you can search based on where you live or want to go.  For the most part, they are public parks and a majority are free.  Of course, there are a TON of incredible indoor parks as well, but those are a bit harder to find sometimes.  Your best bet might be to search for the city or state you're interested in and skatepark.  Good luck!

I think its really awesome, since so many other American people have gotten themselves injured or just didn't do as well. People like Bode Miller and the speed skater Ohno. At least the US dominates in snowboarding!

the ollie is the trick in skateboarding that brought the skateboard comunity to what it is today. it is when the board hops in the air by the grip tape and the shoes that are made for skatebarding it makes the board level out in the air. there is really nothing of physics in the trick. its just the grip tape on top of the board sticks to the specially designed shoes for skateboardng. like if you skate with tennis shoes it wouldn really stick to the board

I like to practice the Sierra Slamma.\n\nIt's a very difficult trick to pull off, but it goes a little something like this.\n\nI'll drive down the street in my GMC Sierra truck and a skateboard will slide out in the roadway in front of me. No time to break and perfect timeing is required. The trick is complete when you hear the snap, crackle, and pop of the skateboard as the truck tires roll right over the top of it. \n\nFun times!

I'd definetly have to say Zero. I have been obbsessed with Zero Skateboards, ever since i started skating. They are soooo easy to get used to, and good for all around skating. \n\nAlien Workshops are good too, I've heard good things, and i've skated them once or twice. they seem almost the same thing as zero, just like different designs...\n\nThe other board i like to use is Foundation. Foundation boards are really good for experienced street skaters, and have reeeaaaalllllyyyy good pop.

I am not from the area, but found two Naperville skateparks online.  The links are below.  \n\nThere are probably more skateparks listed in other close areas which you can also find on these websites.  Good luck and happy skating.

The best part about skateboarding is that there is no right or wrong way to do it.  It is pure freedom.  Anyone can skateboard.  Just get on and go.  If you want to take it to another level, then just like anything else, you have to practice and practice hard.
