What is the best skateboard for beginners?

• Answer:

  That's a great question! The truth be told, do not buy one at Wal-Mart or K-Mart because they're unsafe! They're also sub-par and will ultimately hold you back. Even if you are just a beginner, you should buy a professionally designed skateboard. I'm not saying the most expensive one, but I am saying one that is made well for the activity of skateboarding. A good place to start is a local skate shop or even on-line by a trusted company like CCS mail order. Also, keep an eye out for generic or "blank" skate products; they're cheap and generally adequate for beginners. The make, size, type, and everything else depends on what's best for you. Before you buy one you might want to consider going through Course 101 on the Skateboard equipment for beginners.
