if you are just starting, get a cheap on and learn on that.  the cheaper ones are more flexable and the more expensive ones are stiffer and harder to control.  but don't buy the ones at Kmart (too cheap), just get a cheaper board ($100 - and up).  have fun

If you want quality skates (skates for jumps and spins) you'll have to spend a little money. Finding a good used pair is key. Ebay has a good selection at times and iceskatingworld.com has a classified section.

I really like bone reds.... they are really reliable and FAST! They are really nice and if youre willing to spend alot of money then go with bone swiss's. The beat trucks I think are Grind King (GK) they are really strong and can handel any grind you can throw at them. If you dont like those phantom 2's are pretty good also. \nHappy Skateing

Dude why buy 2 pairs? Just get your in-lines, elbow pads, knee pads and a helmet. Go to a smooth surface and keep trying till you roll and you'll get better and better. Go to a skate shop and they will recommend a nice pair of in-lines for you. Kowabunga !!!

ok the best trucks i have ever used are phantom 2, and grind king. they last long and seem to ollie really good. Grind King [obviously] is good for grinding....\nI've heard that krux are good too, but i wouldnt know personally\n\nBY FAR, the best bearings ever are Zero Black Widow Bearings, and they seem to fit good with the best deck ever, Zero....

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

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.

To be honest I'm kinda out of the loop with the good skate brands these days but I've alwasy found that the guys at your local skate shop will know what's up. Talk to one of them, if they are cool they will hook you up with what you need to know. If they aren't cool and throw attitude well, they suck and go to the next shop. Good luck and have fun.

What about in your backyard? I taught my self how to skateboard and i love it. Dont be imbarassed, skateboarding is a tricking sport. Just have fun at it and try your best. You will get it eventually!

Hey, I'm not sure what kind of skateboarding you are looking to do,(cruising, tricks) but I would go with a board that has carbon fiber layering technology, like you said, Lib Tech, and Revolution. Also, Element skateboards has recently started a line of carbon fiber skateboards. I think alot of companies have have jumped on this trend, so you may want to look into it. Whatever you find, have fun and good luck!

BZ is a really good board,Manta will prob last the longest, toobs are good too. even if you are still starting off, try get something with a bat-tail, which makes it easier to do spinners(360s) that is the most basic move in bodyboarding. you will also need fins to help you paddle onto the waves, i recommend either "vipers","redley's" or "toobs blunt cuts", you will also need wax, a leash or cord, and if you want to avoid a rash on your abbs, a rash guard or vest.
