What is the best skateboard for beginers?

Answer 1

Just get a factory made blank deck at your local skate shop like zumiez, industrial, or wherever most other skaters in your area go to buy boards. Don't worry about getting a pro deck like a zero or a girl just yet. Blanks usually run about $15-$20 so if you find out that skatings not your thing, at least you haven't blown too much money. After that get some thunder trucks and ABEC 3-5 bearings, depending on how fast you think you can handle. If you plan on skating mainly in skateparks, then ask for soft wheels. If you want to hit the streets, get hard wheels. Soft wheels grip better to hold on to the smooth floors of skateparks and wear down really fast on concrete, but hard wheels slide on smooth floors and handle concrete perfectly. In the end, the whole thing should run you between $60 and $70 - Speed Skater Rush

Answer 2

any

a cheap (fake, Walmart) board can be good to learn to balance on a skateboard, but you'll be disappointed if you get into any tricks that put a strain on the components, because the trucks will collapse, the wheels are hollow and will break, the decks won't flex and the bearings are poor quality

a quality skateboard will last much longer, trucks are virtually unbreakable (until you break one), wheels last a long time etc . the only thing a beginner MIGHT want is slower bearings

"blanks" are sometimes the same quality as professional components and represent a cost savings. a blank complete might cost 70 or $80 as opposed to 100 to 200 for a pro name brand setup

Answer 3

The best beginner ramp is a kicker. You can get cheap ones that work very well at Wal Mart.

Answer 4

Learn to ride on a 'throw away' before you lay down a lot of money on high quality boards.
