I need help with Skateboarding.

Is it possible to just buy more expensive wheels later if I'm not satisfied? Or say I want to keep the trucks, bearings, and wheels, but want a new deck? Could I just get a new deck the same size?

everything is universal.

Alright, cool. What do you think of DVS Shoes for skating?

World Industries has some pretty good shoes but their skateboards aren't too great.

I would recommend a 8 inch board to start out, get used to riding, and being on the board.



oh and, my local Zumiez employees skate in the shop when its close to closing.

It's not that I don't disagree with the article, but I just don't think it's worth the time to go out of my way to go to a different city just to go to a skateshop :P. If there was one near me though, you can guarantee I would go to one of those.

You know what, fine, I'll get some of my skater friends and take a bus down to Minneapolis, just to check out the stuff at a skateshop, so I know exactly how much money I'll need.

Just warning you here, most people who use skateboards end up looking like douches,

only if you're one of those "forget the world" kind of guys.

What? I've seen people with skateboards and I never think there douches. If they look douchey then yeah, but skateboards have nothing to do with it.
