Answer 1

You have to have lots of confidence.  You will fall off the skateboard maybe a few times. You will get the hang of it though.  You should place a skateboard on the carpet or something and step on it just to get the feel of what its like on the skateboard. Then when you know keep moving up until you get to concrete. Then figure out what stance you are. The 2 most common stances are regular, goofy. There is also mongo. Regular and goofy are better for preparing for tricks. You can learn about those stances on different skateboarding sites. Once you figure out your stance keep pushing around on the skateboard, then keep going faster and faster. You need lots of balance. Then once you're comfortable with that you can learn the basic tricks like the ollie.
