Skatebroads

go to a skate shop, they'll typically help you out.

Did you grow up in a trailer park skating? What brand board you have makes a big difference not only socially, but also in terms of rider comfort ability. There is a whole rating system out there for boards, trucks, bearings, grip tape, etc, for a fucking reason. Buying a premade is for people not serious about skating an/or soccer moms.

a 7.5 or an 8 sized deck would be perfect for you,
you should go for Independent trucks, Bones wheels, and of course a couple of Bones reds bearings, and bam, you got a board that will last you like 5 years or so if you know how to properly take care of it

Oh and dont forget to wear Supreme and watch all of the new york times volumes

i guess I also got my friends, but do you guys have an idea of a way I could learn how to sk8?

how much do they pay you to shill their wares?

Thanks user

You now know how to bust sick tricks to impress your friends.

the way I learned was from teaching myself mostly. after figuring out how to not fall on my ass, I watch other people skating closely to see what they're doing in each trick. that's probably a terrible way to learn though. you most likely can find tutorials online, or if you're a richfag you could get lessons in person (which I assume is the best way). it'll take a long time to learn, like a really long time, so don't stress it too much.

Is this harder than b-hopping on a bike in your opinion

way harder to learn, but once you get it down it's easier to perform.
