my favorite shoe brands are DC and eS. As for skateboards you need trucks bearings wheels bolts griptape and a deck to make a complete board... for trucks i suggest independant, they last forever... just make sure you NEVER NEVER EVER get royal trucks, just from minor skating mine snapped in lik 8 places. for bearings um, it doesnt matter too much, bones swiss are the fastest but the most expensive. wheels, anything, i get 53mm not too small, not too big but it seems people buy smaller. bolts are just screws they dont matter. griptape i ride Iron Horse, just dont get a blank brand for griptape, theyr no good.... Jesup and Black Magic are good brands too. ok and for Decks, or the actual board part, they are all basicly the same, element and zero are good, so is blind, and i guess try anything except girl, i hate those boards... some other companies i can think of are enjoi, flip, almost, darkstar, mystery, baker, alien workshop (i HEARD that these were the best)....... well for myself i ride blanks, i go through boards alot so i cant afford a $50 deck, buy from blankdecks.com, they make the best ones

This answer is different for every skater.  It mainly depends on what you skate.  If you skate mainly ramps and parks with a bigger wheel, then go with a High Truck.  If you skate alot of flat ground in front of your house then go with a low truck and small wheels.  If you want the best of both worlds, get a mid.\n\nHope this helps you out.\nLater\nJeff

Use 12" of sand. Hold it in the area by building a box with 1x12 pressure treated wood. Sink that about 8 - 10" under the ground level so the kids don't have to step up over it so far. I'd put a bumper guard on the top of the 1x12s also so that no one gets hurt by the top of the board either. Don't just go buy any old sand, make sure that you specify what you will be using it for so that you get some clean stuff. \nAll the equipment should be mounted in the dirt UNDER the sand and reinforced with concrete where/when needed. Swingsets and climbing equipment should be secured in this fashion without question.\nHope that helps

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

Print up a bunch of flyers with your local Government representative's (the person who would most likely be able to save your park) name and phone number on it. Go and skate in public areas where you will disturb a lot of people. When they ask you to leave give them a flyer and tell them that if the park is closed down you will be spending a lot of time here. Unless they call and save the park they will be seeing a lot of skaters here. Try it at the local government office building.

The following link is a list of skateparks in Jersey.  Most are probably public parks, but this site is really good about having information and pictures.  I don't live in the area but I seem to think there are a ton of street spots in Jersey.  And...depending on how far you are from the city, there's an AWESOME underground skatepark called B Unique in NYC.  It's usually packed with rollerbladers.  \n\nHope that helps!

Well, 1st off, I suggest you buy one,(its alot less hassle). If you want to make one you would need "marine" plywood", "fiber-glass resin and Cloth", Paint, Small "skegs" and a "design-shape" to cut your board with. It is not an easy task. Alot of sanding.layering "glass". BUY a board don't try makin one!!!!!.....good luck!

Buy a "backyard ice rink" kit. I've seen these advertised in hockey magazines like the USA Hockey members magazine. They are easily found on the web as well. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, you will minimally need to put together some kind of frame and potentially lay out plastic to keep the water from seeping into the ground.  If you have a natural depression in your yard (as was the case with my dirt driveway when growing up) and you don't care about the shape of your rink you could just fill it with water when it gets cold enough.  You can't get much cheaper than that!

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!

With a skateboard! :P\n\nActually, you'll need lots of practise and a good sense of balance. If you ahve any friends with a skateboard, you shoudl ask if you can borrow it, and get some help. It'll take awhile to get the hang of it. You'll fall and get mad, so be careful, but if you stick with it you'll be fine.\n\n\nAnyways, to start you have your one foot on the board (around the middle or so) then use the other leg to pull yourself forward. It's ahrd to explain. Wacth some videos and stuff and you shoudl be able to get the basics of it.

My guess is that you'll need your own insurance, for your gear etc. and maybe public liability insurance (in case your deck falls on someone for example) But I'd check out the web to find out how to contact Business Enterprise Agency, I believe they have every piece of information you need about setting up a small business. Good luck mate!

I can't help you build one from scratch, but SkyMall sells a kit to set one up.  Go to http://www.skymall.com and do a search for ice rink.
