If youre looking for oldschool boards, dogtown is the best. I like flip though.

there is no real girl board or boy board, although there is a company named "girl". anyways, just give it a shot. ride around the block to practice getting balance (I really didn't need to do that what I just said when I started, wonder why). as for boards, if you ever go to a skateshop in town, you will see that they are not cheap or inexpensive (unless you go to walmart but the boards they sell SUCK). go on google maps and do a search on it if you zoom in at your town. but unless you start going on halfpipes or start ollieing, you dont need to get a new one. keep the one you have for a little longer untill you can jump on your board and not fall off 99.99999 percent of the time. the perfectly good board is going to be useless if you cant skate rigth. by the way, don't get girl bearings, they're not that good.

I would search online for a New board for your specific gun. It will increase your speed by a good amount.

I use to quad and jam as a kid....now I do indoor inline speed.  I have seen these and there are other versions as well.  Look on the front page of http://www.skates.com/ and you'll see the few versions of the radical skates.\n\nI've been tempted to try them but just love my speed inlines too much.  The power, the cornering, the ability to turn over 90 degrees on a dime even at full speed......no quad no matter the wheels or set up can mimic that.\n\nthere are even off road quad-inlines......freaky!!!

Clapper Skates are used in the Speed Skating but sideways ski jumping? That's a new one on me.

It looks like they currently have figure skating available, but not much else. I imagine it won't be long before they have everything.

The first skateboard originated sometime in the 1950s and coincided with the initial popularization of surfing in California. The earliest skateboards were homemade and were constructed of flat wooden planks attached to roller-skate trucks and wheels. Skateboarding was originally called "sidewalk surfing" and early skaters emulated surfing style and moves. Skateboards may or may not have evolved from "crate scooters." Crate scooters preceded skateboards, and were essentially similar except for having a wooden crate attached to the front, which formed rudimentary handlebars. In the film Back to the Future, Marty McFly is seen confiscating such a scooter from an unsuspecting 50s youth, and ripping the crate off to fashion an improvised skateboard.\n\nclick here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skateboarding#History
