I did skateboard.. for 5 years.. Dont buy a complete board.. Its better to buy a deck, trucks, wheels and all the stuff by it self... I recomend GIRL deck and wheels, Venture trucks and some random bearings.. Griptape doesnt matter that much..
I do, its been like 6 years now, but i still kinda suck cuz our skate park is gay, but yea, i'm a sophomore right now, and i still use my trucks,wheels,bearings from a setup in like 6th grade, but i have a deck from my sponsorship shop for snowboarding, called expo
can we include pics?? anywhooo, i'll upload them later
I bought this dirt cheap, got it complete for $20, put new trucks, wheels, griptape, and bearings. Basically now it cost me about $70 to do all that.
I want to make a video, but there's no good skateparks where I live.

I skateboarded for about 4-5 years with a bunch of friends.
Always rolled with Alien Workshop deck FTW
The city promised us a brand new big skatepark since we almost have nowhere to skate here, no good stairs, no good spots, nothing.
Right now its about 7-8 years since I started skateboarding, about 6 years after the park was promised, and they still havnt even begun building it. The plans and the money funded by our own growing skate association , it was all there 6 years ago.
I got bored, skateboarding became expensive. I quit.
I regret it a bit sometimes, I wasnt that bad if I say so myself.
I'm pretty sure if the park was built me and alot of others would've still been skating now. The association had hundreds of members at its highlight.
Skateboarding died out here. The only small spot we had is empty and demolished now.
When I first asked my friend how to Ollie he says:
"The X button"
Anyway, shove-its are always fun, ollieing is only tough to get the hang of it, after that its just like a second nature. Also, people say that the biggest mistake is the timing, but while I practiced its really how far you pull up your legs.

oh btw, any1 who hasn't done an ollie yet... It is the hardest trick you'll ever learn cuz u go from n00b to beginner (im not sayin the hardest trick though) but once you got the ollie down, you'll be a lot better and able to balance and able to move the board underneath you almost fluently, after the ollie, tricks will become easier and easier to learn! Took me a week to figure out to that damn ollie, i fell on my ass countless times, "Slide your foot back and jump...." heard that so many ..... times from my cousin ben. but once you learn the ollie, you're on your way to rippin the sk8 park to pieces
I always wanted to leanr it, and once in a store I saw a cheap board and I was rolling it around in the store the whole time, then one of the people who work there got mad at me cuz the wheels got all black...
It's not my fault that the floor is so dirty there!!!
but I was good with scooters and skates...
But maybe I should try surfing and snowboarding first... cuz it's a bit alike...
I mean, you stand on a board, you do tricks and you can go flat on your ass...
Well, my last post for some hours, gotta go to work nao...
