where can i go and buy a board for cheap, but good quality?????

Answer 1

to be honest, skateboarding is not a safe sport, i guarantee your going to get hurt, if it is something you want to learn buy a better bored, you be thankful you did in the long run, i got my board for around $65 and its a Element, and it seems to be holding up pretty good. but you got to just really look around because there are boards out there for less money but good quality.

Answer 2

Don't buy things like that, you'll just be disappointed in the long-run.  Go out and buy an ATM, Mini-Logo, or a blank deck.  These are good quality but cost about half the money a pro board would cost ($65) at just about $35.  I know people who are better than many with pro boards but have a habit of snapping them, so just buy like 2 Mini-Logos at a time to have just in case.

Answer 3

i would say if you want to learn buy the $15 dollar board because you want to see how you like skating first before you go out and spend alot of money for a good board

Answer 4

i wouldnt save ur money and buy a good one

Answer 5

yes i statred out with a 20 dollar walmart board and learned the basics like pop shuvits,ollies, primo,and manuals then when i became confident with my tricks like 3 months later i brought a new deck that is NOT flat, bearings,new trucks,new wheels,and griptape because it come seperate unless you get a complete

And if you get a cheep board make sure it has metal trucks
