Answer 1

u need a helmet wrist guards, elbow pads, knee pads, and a REAL skatebord ur a begginner so i suggest you buy a world industrys board

it cost about 50 to 70 dollars and its pretty good.

YOu need to learn to ballance on the board

once youve done that you need to learn how to ollie you can learn by just going on youtube and typeing in how to ollie

after u learned that try to improve how high you can ollie

then once u got da basics u can learn how to do creative thing wit ur ollie

and then learn different moves like pop shuve it, kick flip, varial kickflip, ollie off thing/ on to things,

and then grind on stuff like curbs and rails but that when you get good

if you need more help google skateboarding tricks, tips and moves

hope this helps

Answer 2

it really isn't hard. i suggest wearing gear your first tries.

you really just run and try to balance yourself on the board.

hope i helped.

Answer 3

Its not hard once you feel secure on the board as its moving.When you want to get secure try by going faster,then faster,etc.I would love it if my bf would help me.Hes a good skater but he refuses to help me because he thunks if he helps me and I hurt myself Ill break up with him.Anyway after you are secure on the deck(board) try some tricks.Go on youtube and find some training videos.Good Luck!

Answer 4

Get a good skatebord that will solve half your problem.try scating on a slite incline at first to learn how to steer.to steer stand on the bord with your feet directly over the wheels.Use your knees and arms to ballance.Use your feet to steer. good luck and wear safety equipment.

Answer 5

im not 2 good but wat i do is find kids in ur neighbor hood, near ur house, at school, or just gu 2 a skate park and ask people............. also some skate parker offer lessons  

Answer 6

Go to a skatepark. Despire representation in the media, skaters usually stick out for other skaters, which includes new skaters. If there is no skatepark near you, just look on the web.

A great way to start: Just start skating everywhere. If you want, just skate around the block to get used to the balance. Then, move on to ollies. You don't have to know any tricks, but every skater should at least know this one. Look up a tutorial on youtube, and remember no matter how many tries it takes you you will get it, no matter what. If you want, you could skate your whole life knowing just that. But that's the cool thing about skating, there's always some new trick to try, new ledge to hit, or new gap to cross.  

Answer 7

what u do is buy a PRO skateboard and ride areound, watch skate youtube vids

and in time ull learn

alot of my friends did that

Answer 8

I just started to learn to skateboard myself. The best thing to do is find friends that know how to skateboard and start going to skate park with them and ask for their advice. And remember, not thing is hard if you try harder.

Answer 9

lol its not too hard, you just have to be confident

Answer 10

i willive skated for 6 years what do you need to know?

Answer 11

Yes it is hard and takes a lot of time and dedication to be able to do any tricks or even ollie well. If you are easilly discouraged, find something else.
