It doesn't really matter, I remember when I first started skating in 6th grade My friends and I made a team, I was terrible and some of the other kids were alright, and I ended up learning alot of new tricks from some of the better skaters. Go Ancient skate team!! (No I didn't come up with the name and it didn't last that long)

a bunch of kids at my skate park start there own little skate teams. It doesnt really matter how good you are when you make a team with your friends, The kids at my skate parks make team just for the experience and so they all progress at a close rate and about loyalty. Only really two of the teams are seriouse and choose on how good you are, but even they are pretty lenient with friends. If your wanting to make a team for contests and stuff, id say nah, wait a while, but if u just want to make a team for fun do it. Ive heard of many teams that started as just for fun and over years of progression turned into MAJOR teams that went to events. Good Luck man , I,ll be prayin for ya! most of all though just Have FUN!

You need to stop giving a fvck and do what you want. Get gnarly and go shred. You don't need encouragment from me.

You can start a team whenever you want. It doesn't matter what you can do. Just have fun.

I think I might get some of my friends together to make a team then. I'm at like 3 people though because some of my better friend skaters are in a team already. I will make a couple team videos, but otherwise just skate. That is what I meant by a team, not competive.
