Summer has come upon us and I really want to go out and finally learn how to skateboard. I'm almost 15 and all, so my friends are looking forward to laughing at me (especially since I'm a girl).
Anyways, I need help with the board. Yeah, it sounds dumb, but I'd feel dumb asking my friends who are already way into it. I have no idea what I need to get, but I just need a basic board to learn on (obviously not some dumb kid board with spiderman on it). Obviously I'm poor so something below $100 would be nice, but I can still scavenge up money if I'm going to need it. I just need to know the basics I need 'cause I have no idea about the hardness of the wheels and stuff like that. Yeah, I just need some pointers. |

If you go to a skateboard shop, I'd choose a completed board for beginners.
You might want to think about investing in safety gear too. |
