How hard is it to learn how to skateboard??

Question

how long does it usualy learn how to skate just the balence part not the tricks

Answer 1

everyone catches on a different pace.  just buy a cheap board at wal mart or kmart and just try to ride it.  you might fall once or twice but it wont hurt that bad because your not doing a trick so you wont hit your head or anything like that

Answer 2

to balance well it takes a week.

Answer 3

For me it didn't take long I've been skating since I was about 8 (still can't do tricks I'm a coaster, I love long boards) but some people are different my boyfriend can't even stand on one and my brother the first two weeks of skating he was doing tricks and everything, but just hop on the board and try it, don't be scared to fall.  You'll probably pick it up quick.  Everyone is different though so don't get mad if you can't do it in the 1st couple of hours.  Good Luck!

Answer 4

it took me less then a day to learn how to balance and go foward and stop and the basic stuff but tricks take much longer
