Yay I'm new.

[Vertigo]

Hiya, I'm new to this forum so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm also new to skateboarding. Well not really. My suckage has lessened since last time I skateboarded (a year ago) and I have only had 10 days of experiance :p Put simply, just about all I can do is ballance and ride kinda slow.

Just thought I'd say hey.. If you have any newb advice to share I would like that :)

[evilcheese00]

Lemme think...Erm, newb advice... Have fun, stay with it. Dont quit, and if you ever see me, lay me.

Hah, alright, you'll be on my mind ;)

[evilcheese00]

Score ;). Oh and i'd just like to reiterate(sp) ''Have fun'' There's no point doing something if you not having fun with it. Plus no one likes hanging around someone who's stressing.

[Vertigo]

Yeah I know. I always have fun, and I usually goof off and laugh at myself constantly. I cuss alot when I do something idiotic, but never in anger..

Hey, I'm Fae. Welcome to RR and to skateboarding. As for newbie advice . . . none really, just don't be afraid of falling or getting hurt because those are usually the times that you do fall and get hurt =p.

[Vertigo]

By the way, I'm not meaning to sound simple or whathaveyou, but what are good boards for someone aka me who is 5'5'' and 120lbs? Just curious if size had anything to do with anything :/

btw... CHEAP boards. I am of low income :)

[DarkHawk2-2]

scope some blank decks from like, blankdecks.com or at your local skate shop. u can probably hook 'er up with some basic raw trucks like, maybe some raw royals or sumthin. Blank wheels, some cheap bearings..

[It'sFae]

A good complete for CHEAP:

[offthewallsk8er]

yea get a blank deck, i started out with a ****board from my local grocery store, and maybe some lucky abec 3's er somethin, just some cheap trucks...as long as they stay together...and if u like risers to absorb shock get some of them...uh...just get some blank wheels...and learn the ollie as ur first trick u cant do alot of other tricks without knowing the ollie...just get ur balance to...just do like body varials(180's on ur board)...and just practice riding...if u put a good half an hour into ollies when ur skateboarding everyday, with the right form...i garuntee ull get it within 2 weeks tops...good luck...peace

Dont try to ollie while moving bfore u learn to ollie regular...when i got my second board (upgrade from a 10$ wal-mart board ) I tried to ollie while movin ( this is from wal-mart bearings to black panther abec-5 bearings ) and busted tha **** out of my pelvis. My board flew into tha mail box and thats where i got my first battle scar. ( lay me too ;) )

[Vertigo]

Well I found a complete deck on ebay for $10... that is until people bid on it. It's got a day so it might go as high as $20-$25. It's called a Spartan?? I think.. My friend says it's alright for a beginner, and the trucks suck but since I won't be grinding anytime soon that doesn't matter. What do you think? Worth it?

Thanks for all the replies :)

Well yeah, it's not a cheap board.. it's off ebay. Most everything there is inexpensive.

No I don't work for ebay -for the record

right. be cool wrap your tool.

[WillSk8ForFood]

Put a condom on your penis.

[WillSk8ForFood]

thats a good one right? I think it sounds catchy.

[Vertigo]

Why do all my posts on forums end up as threads about CONDOMS!?

j/p lol

[Bob Fertuna]

Weight doesnt have much to do with what kind of board you want to get (unless your really big, or small) you should just kinda find your own length/width to meet your needs.

[stoner_123]

get some cheap stuff online or off of someone NEVER use a wal mart board cause you WILL f**k yourself up when it breaks and loges its cheap wood in your ass (ow damn that would hurt wouldn't it!)

[WillSk8ForFood]

Cheap wood in the ass is not a good feeling. Expensive wood on the other hand...
