Start with a quality beginner board and practice basic balance in a smooth, empty parking lot before attempting tricks. Most people can learn to ride comfortably within a few weeks of daily practice. The hardest part is overcoming the fear of falling, but once you get the feel for balance, it becomes an incredibly fun way to get around.

“Ok today was the day. After weeks and months of my skateboard gear in the car as I take my boy and his buddies to the skate park. Mine finally got out today. Got here early at 6:45. Only one kid here but this kid is always here. I decided after reading this post yesterday that I just had to get over this first time and then day one would be over. I’m so happy you have no idea how this has helped me!! I really was worried about norhing. As the morning went on more skaters arrived and they just ignored me. It was great. Not in a rude way but like acceptable.”
“To ease my nerves, I hired a 16-year-old neighbor to give me a lesson at the park. None of my fears turned out to be true. The other skaters either ignored me during my lesson, or complimented me as I rolled up and down banks for the first time.”
