Beginning Skateboarding
Any beginner must learn to ride on their skateboard before attempting any tricks. So its important to practice moving for a while. Here's how – place your front foot on the board over the front truck bolts.
Push yourself forward with your back foot placing most of your weight over your front foot. Then place your back foot on the board near the tail and coast. While pushing you should be facing forward, but while coasting you can turn both your body and feet to the side for stability.

get a cheap skateboard first until you get the hang of it and learn tricks, then get one a little more expensive.

This is a great tip for beginers, because alot of beginers when they first start out want to go staight to kickflips and rail grinding but dont understand that they need to be patient and practice the basics of skateboarding. Great Tip!

this is crap...you can push with your front foot on the front bolts or on the back bolts.oh and dont believe anything you read about skateboarding because ive read it all and Ive only found 1 website ever that told how to do 1 trick right.It was only right about the kickflip.
