Any skaters on rhp?
I want to buy a skateboard... I'm a beginner, I'm basically just looking for something to roll along the sidewalks with. Long story, don't ask 😛
So, since I know nothing about skateboards... would this one be fitting for me?

Sorry, that's all the advice I have. I snowboard, ice "sk8" and rollerblade, but I don't sk8board anymore.

A little advice I can give you Angie...
Be patient, VERY patient
I used to skate when I was in my teens, and it took me months to learn new tricks. The initial few (ollie, pop shove it, kickflip) took me about a month to learn all three and get them down pat, then after that, either I started to suck really bad or the tricks got harder.
Hi Angie - if all you want to do is cruise, you'd be much better getting a longboard: just Google "longboards" and loads of sites should pop up.
If you want to learn a few tricks (prepare for bruised shins and elbows) you'd need a normal board. These can be expensive for a full set up - once you've bought the deck, the grip tape, the trucks, the wheels, bearings and; if you're safety concious, pads; it all adds up.
If you're not too serious about it, I'd go for one that's already been set up completely for you - you can always upgrade later, particularly as the more ambitious you get, the more likely you are to damage your equipment - boards tend to snap a lot, especially when doing rail-slides.
Hope this helps!

Originally posted by FavsYea totaly agree with Favs. I try to longboard as much as poss. Im not one for tricks and things, but i love nothing more than flying through thr streets carving as I go. If you're feeling a little brave you could go for a smaller board and learn to slide, check out www.gravityskateboards.com.

If I were you I'd buy a big cruiser. I own Lush Bahari 44 for cruising
and Gravity Carve 39 for sliding.
