Which Skateboard ?

Question

I'm gonna go abroad for school and wanna buy a skateboard so I don't have to ride my bike/walk everywhere.

What kind of skateboard should I get? Like, how long should it be? I don't have any skateboarding experience btw... but it shouldn't be too hard to learn how to just ride, should it?...I'm not gonna do any ollies or anything.

Or should I just roller blade?

Thanks!!!!!

Answer 1

you should get a longboard. they are the easiest to turn and to

just ride freestyle

Answer 2

well if ur into just cruising to school then you should go and get a long board skateboard( i would say there easier to learn on then trick boards)

here r to websites that u can get boards at.

Answer 3

I skate myself, yes, i do not think you should get a long board, first, they are too heavy, so if you wanna ride it to school, it'lll be hard to carry into locker and they are really long, so it might not even fit, i think you should get a normal skateboard, i recomend for a just to ride, you dont need a cool design, i would suggest a blank board, the best brand for blanks is Mini-Logo, but, if you would like to spend a few extra bucks, get a zero board, at CCS.COM, they have special completes, pick anyone, they come with trucks and wheels, and the deck, and range from 60 to 100 dollar, i would recomend getting a cheaper one, for just skating, and then buy REDS bearings, for speed. and your all set!

Answer 4

OK, I'm gonna recommend that you roller blade. I've tried skateboarding before, and I could not get it for the life of me. It's up to you, but I think rollerblading is easier.
