text: i just got a skateboard is there any web sites that can help me or teach me tricks?   be advised - do it with a trainer i figure you must be at least 18 years old for coming to this forum and your body needs some intiial adjustment no matter how fit as a fiddle you may be.   if you slip inadvertently, nobody but you'll be responsible for fatal consequences. in any ski resort, trainers are available and only when once they set you off, do you start the game properly.  regards
