Answer 1

alot of people learn from other people.

you could also read about it in books or on google

watch how to videos on youtube

or the priciest get skate lessons but the fastest way to learn.

if you want good quality, it's gonna cost around $120-$170.

if you are short with small feet, get a deck that is 7.5. if you're tall, get a 7.75. DON'T get a shop deck, get an impact support deck, it lasts longer and weighs less.

for the wheels, get small wheels, at the least 48mm at the most 55mm. bearings, black panthers are the best but reds always work good too and are WAY cheaper. trucks, if you want something cheap then get ventures which are still hella sick, that are lows or meds because they're light. you'll also want risers to prevent pressure cracks on you're deck.

the lighter you're board is, the easier it is to flip tricks and ollie higher

Answer 2

well u can always go on youtube thats a great place or if u know some friends that skate ask them but for skateboards they are one of the most hardest piece of equipment to take care of you cant ride them throung water you cant leave them in the sun you have to wax the board every month plus lubriqent <------ (dont know how to spell) but this comes chep most you will spend is  150$ this includes  with skate board skate boards come complete for about 100$ but if u buy just the deck u can save money hope this helps
