i longboard a bunch, u can get one anywhere between like 80$ to maybe 400 or 500, but around 150 is average. long curving hills are the best to ride on, if u dont have a store to buy one at buy them at http://www.soulboards.com/ , and yes, u should get one. there i think i answered all ur questions

get a short board.
if you're stuck on buying a longboard, dont forget the rainbow flip flops, hair gel, and put your color up on your sweet new retro shirt

longboards are fun if you ride them down hills. the best trucks out there are randal 2's. the best wheels are abec 11s. i like landyachtz decks the best. find nice long smooth windy hills and have fun.

I agree with dylhole. Learn how to use a shortboard first then once your good at that you can just hop on a longboard and tear it up.

I wanna try it too...I don't really like skateboarding that much, but I like to snowboard and I definitely like to cruise around. The normal shit trick boards are just too damn unstable









i hope harvey bans you just so i can piss on your digital grave.

make sure you don't get one that's too long, their not easy to carve hard on, but will haul balls.

I like pie.
