The problem is I don't have a skateboard. I was wondering where you can get really good skateboards. Skateboards are very expensive. A decent skateboard should cost you upwards of $250.00- $350.00 dollars. That's a big investment to make on a chance that you might pick up and stick with the sport. If you're a beginner, I suggest going with a lesser quality board. You can find one at Walmart for about $100.00, and that should do you fine for the time being. It won't be a terrific make by any standards, but it's the most appropriate way to approach learning. If you should discover that the sport isn't for you, a Walmart skateboard would have saved you hundreds. At the same time, it will have satisfied your urges with the reminder that you made an attempt at what you had originally wanted. And if the outcome of this trial session is positive, any knicks that may have resulted from your first few attempts at skateboarding won't be on your better equipment.
