Watch some videos online first. I recommend Braille's daily videos, as well as their how to series. How to push [VIDEO] is a great start. Cheap Wal-mart boards are going to be heavy and cheap, and harder to learn on. I recommend not starting there. The same will be true with any off-the-shelf board. Go to a local skate shop and talk to them about what you need. Good quality boards will run $100+, so it's good to have

Harder to set up for tricks, less stability when pushing if you hit a rock or bump you want to be forward on the board, turning while pushing, better over all control, and does not look retarded, skateboarding is still about style pushing or landing a trick sketchy is still cringe worthy. You just got to realize that skateboarding is hard and it takes effort if you want to excel learning how to push regular is only t

Its all something that comes with practise. I'm no savant at skating and can barley Ollie, but honestly take things as slow as you feel comfortable with. I would suggest looking at the basics of learning how to push and ride around. That includes figuring out which stance is best for you, and foot positioning that's best for you.

The 150$ is probably including the shoes. You can go to a website like [LINK] and order a pre-fabricated complete, these are made by top quality skateboard companies and aren't bad for starter boards, you can also browse the decks section if you want to find him something else.

The thing that helped me was just focusing on pushing without bringing my back foot on the board. Just like /u/nice_username, I followed this Braille video [VIDEO] I did that for about 5-6 days only putting my foot on if I needed to turn around. It was tough at first and when I felt myself losing balance I would just bail but your body will adjust and after spending so many hours for so many days, it feels natural to

22 here, little bit younger. I was in the same position but just recently started improving on my pushing, enough that I can do it without falling at least. I found I had to focus more on bending my front knee when getting ready to push and keeping my pushing foot closer to the board, or it was too easy for me to lose balance. Once I focused on those two things, as well as committed to putting my foot back onto the b
