So just how hard is it to skateboard? It's basically just standing right? Is it true the board does all the work? You may have similar questions if you're just starting out with the sport. But for sure, you'll soon realize there's a lot more to it than standing on a moving skateboard. So there are some skills involved, it will take some practice to get those skills, too. Bottom line, you must put some practice time into it. It's really a good idea to have some skills with the basics before moving on to more advanced skating. Ok – keep reading to find out several important tips if you're a rank beginner. It'll take a bit of practice to discover the best foot in front and back. It's not like other sports where it matters if you're a lefty or a righty. Instead you need to figure out which of your legs is dominant and which isn't. So it's easiest to think how you approach something. Which leg do you always use to kick something like a ball? When climbing stairs, what leg/foot is the first step up taken with? Which leg/foot do you always use to catch yourself if you ever start to fall? Ok, the side you always use in those situations is the side that goes to the back of the board. It really has to do with your dominant, or stronger, leg and nothing to do with the direction you want to face. It's recommended to get your first board at a skate shop rather than a sporting goods or department store. The people who work at a skater's store will know how to select the best board for you to get started with. You'll see a lot of new people using an ABEC board, at first. But it's good to try different styles and weights so you can really find one that works best for you. People working in a skate store will be in a better position to help you than non-skate shops. It really will make a difference if you listen to what they have to say about this subject. They'll know what the real story is! Learn the skateboardes language, and learn the various kinds of boards. You'll find lots of different kinds of boards, they're not all identical. Learn what the differences are and the reasons for them. You'll find it'll help to be able to talk about skating in skater's terms. That way you can talk to anyone about problems and get help. The basics can seem hard, but only if you don't put the practice into them. No one will ever be a pro the first time out skateboarding. Take your time to really learn how to control the skateboard. Remember, if the board controls you, then you just may get hurt.
