Answer #1

first try to make sure you want to start skating and not just to be cool, or noticed or something now …you can get a board from k-mart, walmart, a second hand store, or ask around about 50% of the population owned a skateboard or still has one lying around when you get one, you need to practice lots because skills take time to develope so practice at balancing first, on grass, carpet, gravel, a road if you want to and practice leaning from side to side…even when your watching tv or something practice as often as you can…and put both feet over the bolts when you do this then work up to pushing if you feel ready put your front foot on the front bolts and back footon the tail (inbetween the back bolts and end of the board) and make sure you keep your weight centred!

Answer #2

try buying one online there’s plenty but make sure you get one for street not vert vert is for skating on ramps an you don’t want to do that yet and there’s lots of people who skate now ask them to teach you

Answer #3

Well you can get a skateboard from wal-mart. It just won’t be a good one. You don’t need a good board starting out though anyway. Just plan on busting your butt a lot, and possibly broken bones. If you have good balance you won’t have any problems. Good luck.
