Replying to Looking to start skateboarding

Hello NS

Just as the thread title says...I'm looking to pick up skateboarding a little bit, as a way to pass the free time out at school, and mainly because I think it'd be fun. I've always known people that skateboarded when they were younger and I always thought it was pretty sweet, but never got into it because I thought it was really hard. The past couple of years I've watched a lot of skate videos. Now i'd like to try it, with the goal just being able to say I could do a couple shove its and kickflip and stuff.

What am I looking for? Deck wise, wheels wise, trucks wise...and any other info is appreciated. I've always known skateboarding to be a cheap sport (until you get hurt haha)... i've been looking around at decks and five boro boards look pretty nice

If it means anything i'm 130 pounds and it would be mostly around the gritty streets of Niagara Falls NY

Also I've tried longboarding...even bought a shitty longboard and didn't like it.

Thanks for serious answers
