Not sure if this is the place for my topic but in my mind it

>>>/asp/ is probably the right board.

Just bought a skateboard last week after not been skating for 15-20 years. Trying to learn ollie and keep balance...

They make it look so easy.

/asp/ was the right board until gook moot sent wwe there from /sp/ instead of to /tv/ and it became /woo/, now it's fucking trash

Unfortunately there is no good board for this, although slap forums aren't bad. If you want to step on the board go for it, the skate community tends to not be very judgemental of beginners as long as you keep out of the way and don't look like an ass (if you wear a bunch of high fashion shit and the board is an accessory, people will shit on you). If you want to catch up on skating right now, try reading jenkem mag or quartersnacks, they're sort of the most current publications. If it's been a long time since you've skated, you probably want a new setup. Plywood doesn't age well. Most people nowadays skate a board between 8.25-8.5". Don't fall for marketing bullshit, the rest of the stuff just get what you find for cheap. Thunder, Indy, Krux, theeve are all good trucks. Always get bones reds, expensive bearings aren't worth. Wheels, get something around 54mm, spitfire and bones are the main companies making popular wheels but you likely won't really have much of a preference as far as wheels go until you need to start sliding to land tricks. Most of all, don't skate above your comfort zone. I see tons of kids skating in traffic when they're not comfortable ollieing up the sidewalk. Sure the pros do it but they do tons of stuff you can't. Start out at a park or quiet street, once you can Ollie up a curb go to your local park. You progress as fast as you can conquer your fear. Most of all, have fun, Ive been skating for 10 years and still love it. One of the guys I skate with it started when he's was 13 and turns 43 next month.
