Answer 1

Well honestly if you hang out with other skaters you'll start to pick up their tricks and style. the best place for stuff like that is your local skatepark.

Answer 2

yea i agree with v  u should go to the skatepark and hang with skaters and just ask them for some pointers and advice

Answer 3

Before you start to do tricks and stuff, you should make sure you can just move around on your board quite fast and not get freaked out or anything and I guess the only way to be able to do that is to practice.

Try going down banks etc to get some speed and then just stay standing on your board. It's kinda scary at first, but don't jump off your board. Eventually you'll be used to going fast and you won't be scared or freaked out. =)

After that, ask other skaters about tricks. I think you can get like, step by step instructions of how to do tricks like ollies and kickflips on the internet- just gogle skateboard tricks or something.

If you find that you like skating and you get good, then get a decent skateboard because it will be easier to use

Anyways dude, good luck and try not to hurt yourself =) =)
