skateboarding is kinda of similar but it's easier to turn on a skateboard and people I know have said that skateboarding is easier then snowboarding.\n\nWhen buying a skateboard it really depends on you. I recommend going to a skate shop and trying boards out, see if they're what you are looking for in size,weight,thickness, and width. and definitly don't be afraid to ask questions. that's what clerks are for! If your planning to ride more on ramps get a 8 inch or above board, if your gonna ride more on the street then its 8 or below. For a beginner I'd recommend an 8 untill you get better and find out which is easier for you.\n\nSome say the easiest trick is an ollie, but either way you need to know how to ollie to do most tricks. chech out www.skateboard.about.com it says alot about starting out, stances, and tricks.\n\nGood Luck and Have Fun!!!!! :)

I LOVE to skateboard. It is THE MOST AWESOME SPORT EVER inthe world. people say "its just jumping on a skateboard". it's not that easy. And I'm not excactly blonde. Concky, you should try going up a vert and standing on your hand upside down while holding your board with your feet and other hand. when you do, tell me how many bruises you have.

Sorry, that is how our society is. We are judged by appearances. If this is really a problem, get yourself a good haircut and keep skating, it is great exercise.

I own a 303 boards boars. (i can trash it and it was't too much money but it's a good board.)\n\nI think the Element "Helium" boards are the best. They get good height, but whoa they are costy. (I would only get one if i suddenly got alot of money, i trash my boards trying tricks.)\n\nMy fave trick to do as of now is probably a shove it. Im pretty new. I'm learning how to 50-50 a rail so i'll probably like that soon too.\n\nMy fave pro skater....well my faves are\nJoey Brezinski\nKenny Anderson\nBam Margera\nTony Hawk (who dosn't like the guy)\n\nAs long as Tony Hawk dosen't break his hip...hes not too old to skate.\n\nBam...sometimes its hard to tell if hes a poser or not. I don't think he is, but sometimes i feel stupid for thinking hes so great.\n\nYea, the world needs more women skaters, and I'm one up and comming!\n\nI just started praticing the 50-50 rail slide.\n\nThe hardest....i dont know, i havent goten to the really hard ones yet. I guess....i don't know...Dropping in? Naw. They were all hard untill it clicked!\n\nI like both. Olling everything on the street, grinding all the rails i can find (with bad results sometimes) running and jumping over fences to get away from cops....ugh forget that last part. And i just started to learn how to do Vert tricks, which ones, simple ones that i feel stupid saying, but even if im just going up the ramp and down, its a rush.\n\nI guess that my fave is probably street. That's where i started, and the place where i can do the most tricks.

I am a girl who skateboards and i always get funny looks from other people like men and i have even had some people tell me that skateboard is not for girls.  If i did not love skateboarding soooo much i would have let those comments get to me and stop skateboarding but i have learned to accept it.  The sad truth is that i am better than most of the people who talk trash and give funny looks.  Whenever i am off work i am either eating sleeping or skating.  Skateboarding is my life and i hope it stays that way for a long time.  SCREW ALL U GUY HATERS OUT THERE I AM BETTER THAN U WILL EVER BE         right now i would say skating over love but when i get older i am sure i will change my mind

They clapped applauded and I was like peace out my home veggies, okay happy moment over, anydangway I love it! It feels free and great and maybe lumpy but, smooth. My favorite team is element. My favorite skateboarders  are Bam Margera and Tony Alva.\n-peace out my home veggies

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.

Yup, that is how I learned. But it will definately be more fun to learn with someone else and you'll advance faster. But learning on your own is a good way to develop your own style. Sometimes when you watch people who have always skated with a crew, they all have the same style and do the same tricks. It's cool to see folks who are self taught because they usually have a unique style and way of doing things as they learned it all on their own.\n\nDefinately follow the other advice here and invest in some good pads, particularly wrist guards. Good luck and have fun.

stick with blank boards boards with no brands you get em at any skate shop you dont need a brand board trust me on this one. a blank board lasts long and im doin 12 stairs. it will break along with other boards but blanks have perfect weight and dementions

Interesting.  You post two questions.  In one, just a few minutes before you posted this one, you say you are shy.  In this one, you say people think you are slutty.  Well, either you're off your medication and that pesky split personality thing has reared its ugly head, or you're looking for attention, and with this kind of question you're not going to get the kind of attention you apparently want.\n\nIf people really do think you are slutty, look at the way you dress, the way you speak and the way you interact with other people.  \n\nAlso, work on your spelling.  Otherwise in addition to thinking you are slutty, people will think you are as dumb as a box of hair.
