Answer 1

Just find a safe place and practice whatever your trying to learn. Also try watching skate video's or how to video's. They definitely help. But always practice because it's the most important thing!

Answer 2

invest in a pair of elbow and kneepads...seriously you'll need soon enough. try practicing in an empty car park

Answer 3

it always helps to skate with other people even if you arent as good as them. usually skaters are nice to others who skate, and they might even help you learn. and even though it may seem cruel, falling is an essential part of skating. if you get used to falling and getting back up, you will be a better skater in the future. and try riding your board around.. like ride your board to your mailbox, etc. short trips will help you get the hang of it.

Answer 4

1.Try to find some flat ground

2. Watch online skate videos (Youtube)

3. Learn from other skaters in skateparks.

4. Eat lots of fish (its good for joints and your brain)

5. Dont wear baggy pants. Wear skateboarding trainers.

Keep to these 5 tips and you'll be out there with the pros in no time ;)

Goodluck!!!^^
