Hey, skateboarding is a pretty awesome skill. I'm actually planning to give it a try, but haven't quite gotten up the courage to do it yet. Any tips for a beginner?
Sorry, this website is huge, and very popular finding it hard to reply fast lol!
Best tip...hmm get used to pain, and don't be embarrassed when you fall off, do what I do and laugh Have you never done it before? It's going to be very hard at first but when I first started I stood there on the spot outside my front garden doing nothing but try to Ollie (jump, assuming you know that but just in case you don't).
This helped me get balance on the board which is something you have to get in order to do anything else. You also can not do much if you can't Ollie. So if I was you I would go out and practice learning to Ollie. I can't really give you anymore tips right now but once you have attempted an Ollie then I will be able to give you more tips and advice
Also be prepared to spend a lot of cash on shoes if you take it up properly lol, it will eat your shoes!
