First of all, there are many different places to skateboard…that is one of the great things about it, you can do it pretty much anywhere: skateparks, parking lots, the street, your driveway, even your house if you don’t mind breaking a few things. However, if you are just starting out, I personally recommend an empty, abandoned parking lot; it is much safer for you and other skaters. Here you can learn the basics: learning to roll, push, turn and control your skateboard…all of which are necessary in order to progress.

One thing I cannot stress enough is DO NOT GO TO A SKATEBOARD PARK IF YOU CANNOT CONTROL YOUR SKATEBOARD. This is dangerous to both yourself and also other skaters. If you are not ready for a skateboard park, do not go there. Learn the basics somewhere else, and when you are ready, try out a park. If you are not ready, you will most likely get in other skaters’ way and cause accidents; this will not make you very popular with the other skaters. Take your time and learn the basics first!
