I want to skateboard

Question

I think skateboarding looks fun and I want to try it out. First of all is it something that you can learn by your self? Or do you need someone to help you?

Answer 1

I used to skate, it was fun while it was cool then it just died off and i never fixed my board after i broke it. Basically, if you find it extremely interesting, try boarding with your friends and their boards before you buy your own. test it out for a while, and yes- begin with the ollie. if you cant get that down within 2 weeks then just give up.

Answer 2

Learn to ollie, once you got that down all tricks will be easy!! You can do it by yourself easy, take it slow just ride the board everywhere you go. learn control! good luck

Answer 3

glad u chose skateboarding, man. it is REALLY fun. u can learn by yourself, just watch some videos on youtube. but its easier to learn and more fun to sk8 with friends. youll get hurt sometimes, but just forget about it and move on! never give up

Answer 4

you can learn it yourself you just have to learn how to do the tricks then practicing them.

Answer 5

Yes you can learn by yourself but I think skateboarding is more of a social thing. It is nice to be out there with mates and all learning from each other to do stuff.

You will find it hard to learn by yourself, so use the internet to help you get stuff nailed.

Answer 6

you would do alot better having someone teach you but its gonna take alot of practice

Answer 7

learn the ollie first that can be a self taught thing just watch some videos but keep in mind its a difficult trick for a begginer so dont get frusterated cuz that can make it even more diffcult and oce you get that one hatll be a lot esier for all the other tricks you lear and most tricks you teach yourself so dont worry

GOOD LUCK HOPE THIS HELPED

Answer 8

it took me 4 years to learn and i still make mistakes now .my advise ,dont try it (you will get hurl)

Answer 9

you may need some help

Answer 10

i learned it by my self. and i like to skate with my friend. and let me tell you if your not a natual at it(im not) it took my a month just to get my balance right and make sure i can stay on. but im kinda good i dont skate as much. the best thing ive ever done is a kick flip, grind or a heelflip(once by accident)

Answer 11

Almost definitely a self learning sport but you need some advice from another skater at first.

And btw it is REALLY FUN!!! but also slightly dangerous (u r almost certain to have a big fall in ur life)
