maybe you look and or act like one. All the skaters I know are high strung and lack discipline, they have a tendancy to not want to grow up and be an adult. How many skaters can make a living from ot, FEW. Get a real job

Not much but you just gotta get used to the new feel of the skates since its just in a single file. The basic principles are all the same, balance and control... Have fun :-)

yes, they tell what the skater is about to do before they do the move! can't they just be quiet for just 10 min. at least?

Well it's gonna take awhile to do the tricks that you see the pros like Bam Margera, Tony Hawk, Joey Brezinski, Mike V......ok all the pros, what they do so if you don't have time then I would just do it as a stress reliever.\n\nStart out with going straight. Gradually go faster and faster. Then try turns. Skateboards can turn pretty sharply and it can be surprising. \n\nAfter you get a feel for your board try a ollie. A basic trick. Just bend your knees, push on the tail of your board, and sometimes rolling your lead foot forward helps too! (helps the height of the jump)\n\nAfter you master a ollie try to manual. It's a pretty easy trick. But you will have some nasty falls trying this one. But it's all in the game.\n\nAfter you can do these two tricks, you can do anything. A ollie is the grounds for most tricks you see people do. Everyone has to start somewhere. The next tricks you learn are up to you and time. All tricks take time to learn. \n\nThen once you get better, try ramp tricks. Then you can decide what you like better Vert or Street. Personally I like both. The thrill of rocketing down the Vert ramp, olling curbs, boxes, and anything that I run into on the street. But you don’t have to pick one. But if you do, there are tons of tricks that you can learn for both. Kickflips, heelflips, melons, shoveits, acid drops, nollies....the list goes on forever.\n\nGood luck, take your time, have fun, ROCK ON!!

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

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

hey Sk8, im an oldschool biker and cops used to bother us all the time about doin tricks on public stuff, benches and bike racks, curbs etc.. My skater buddies would have the same issues but as long as we werent being destructive they would usually just tell us go somewhere else. \nthis was back in the 80's so today the cops probably are a little harder on the folks.
