Hi there,
I woodlike to star learning skate. why ? Because I always loved the professionals who skates, but in France all the skaters have the same style, and I didn't want to be assimilate of them. And I thought: Okay, I'd be one of the first french skaters who has their own style and not the style: "baggy and long shirts" !
I'd like to know if anybody here has an old skateboard and if they'd be Okay to send it to me ? OR, do you know where I can find some skates but for cheap ?
I think the "old" skate would be better, because I don't wanna spent money when I don't even know how to skate.
Of course the old skate would be a: "you can do anything with it, no problem if you break it"...
Well, that's it.
I need some answers please.
And for the skaters: Do you have any advices ?
Thanks
Fabien

Get to learn to have NO FEAR. And learn to have a good sense of balance and courage...cuz your gonna have some nasty, nasty falls..i guareentee that.
But its a fun thing to do, espeically with friends and the thought of finding some great ramp or park from nowhere is even better...
An example of injuries-I dislocated my arm when trying a 360 flip, slipped when landing and well, ouchies...
Anyway, good luck and have fun really, its a great thing to do.

I used to TRY to skateboard but I'm a total wimp. I'd send you mine Fabien, but it only cost me £5 in the first place - it's probably the biggest heap of garbage skateboard that was ever made ;D The wheels feel like they are about to fall off

i was skating just today, as a matter of fact. i was learning some new stuff over this spine we have near me. i prefer skating transitions to street now, miniramps and quarters and all that shiznat. i love the flow of it all, street is just too damn sketchy for my liking now

Toy'R'Us *Tisk Tisk* UN-SAFE You might as well spend the 200 dollars for a normal board because there better made.I used to Skate =P I was decent and I had way to many boards (20 Skateboards).Falling is a pain in the butt oxy.I quit because it was getting kind've boring and there werent many good times to do it unless there was a good cool spring or in the winter which was annoying cause you get hot easily wearing a sweater and if you take it off you get sick =P. Plus falling in the cold made it 10 times worse and the quaility of skateboards was going down the hill.I had a Tony Hawk Signature model and it was the best board ever invented because the wood was so strong and tough it was just amazing and than many brands went to you know what.ALSO THE TIME WHEN I ALMOST DIED ON ONE WAS EVEN BETTER LOL! GO ON GOOGLE AND TYPE IN SKATEBOARDS theres a store called skateamerica I think that used to be like the musiciansfriend or guitar.
