im a skateboarder and i think skating is easier so if your no up for a challenge stick to the feet bound wheels but if you like the pain tht goes with boarding give it a try. hell i have tape of my greatest biffs. ive even landed on my head before now tht hurt but was funny to show all my friends in the end, you can really mess your self up boarding so wear your gear dont fear. i wear mine and havent died yet but i seen some cool stuff tht could have been prevented if they just wore thier helmet.

Ok well, believe me i know what im talkin about. I think you do need skateboarding shoes... I have been skating for about 5 years... and i can NEVER get near enough the same... just good grip with reugular gym shoes. It makes it basically impossible to ollie at all. Skating shoes pretty much work all the same, i pick whatever looks the best... but i recently found out that DC shoes are more for showing off then actual skating... But ya... I think you do definetly need skating shoes...\n\nAlso, once you start wearing them, you will find out that skating shoes are MUCH more comfartable than regular shoes...

He probably will. if he does, he will most likely compete in vert skating, just like he has for the past few years.

I don't know how to skate at all. I admire your skill.

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.

A good skater is someone who has fallen a ton of times.  Youre probably doing something right if you keep falling.

i think u should skate where ever u wanna skate, cause if a cop catches u tell him it says ppl can do watever they want to in the first ammendmant. i skateboard too. and no i dont give watever cops would say to me. i would just keep skating.

yes its a sport\nbeen skating for far far too long, don't get up as fast i once did from falls now.  skating with people better than you is one of the best ways to get good fast, but personaly i think "kids" are jumping into some complicated tricks too quickly without getting all the basics down.  i was by far my worst critic, but probably skated for several years, everyday, before i felt i was any good at it.  i suck now i think, just don't get out enough, but people that don't skate are still impressed.  but yeah if you can find and skate with people better than you, ask for pointers, don't get "the fear" and you should be fine.

it's probably possible, but start off with the basics and focus on breaking the skates in. after if you can't do your one foot spin, try something else unless you HAVE to do it. otherwise, do another move. maybe one foot spins and work your way up. contact your local rink.(i've been skating since i was four so i should know)

Oh, man. I stunk at skateboarding. I mean it was fun but I took forever to learn new tricks. One of my friends learned it in like one hour. Then, another friend took one week. I took about a month. Man, turned out I took the advice from my friends the wrong way. Then one of my friends told me you were suppose to relax. So then I relaxed my body and of course my legs and I finally did one. You're suppose to pop really hard and then shift your weight to the front of the board. It's easier to jump towards the front of the board and then you improve your professional look from there.

Ive been skating for about a year and ive gotten pretty good. the fist thing ur gonna want to learn is manualing (doing a wheely on ur board). once u can do that for a while. learn to ollie, that should olny take about a week or two. then u will want to learn to do a pop shove-it. then u can pretty much take it from there.\ngood luck!

you need to be flexible, and have good leg strength. most fig. skaters have lots of muscle in their legs.

I doubt it. If you were going to be good in the future, you wouldn't need to ask that question because you would believe in yourself and your capabilities.\n\nA lot about soccer/football is in your attitude. Believe in yourself and your skills will probably improve.
