work then its the berrings and you need to go to a skate shop
were its all legit and buy a good par of them."
This is beyond wrong. Sorry; cept for the riding part
Ride them
If you're breaking in for slides then hit a hill a few dozen times with some carving until the shiny layer wears off, then do speedchecks or light slides (the smoother the pavement the better), by this point they're pretty close on their way, just keep sliding to make them even "butterier"
For slalom/downhill just wear the shiny layer off and make sure you're comfy doing speedchecks and pre-drifts on sticky wheels.
DO NOT WD-40
It'll gum your bearings and eventually they'll seize
I used 3 in 1 and the same thing happened, went to coleman slide, slide chopped, bearings seized, board went 90degrees and ripped 2 of my wheels off.

Why is the government against skateboarding?
Government is against skating because sometimes skaters run people over and skaters were known in mid 1900's to do graffiti and illegal things. The government is not against skateboarding. But some opinionated people have gotten ordinances passed prohibiting it. And almost invariably as a result of the actions of a very few skateboarders (or of others, and skateboarders got the blame). A major concern is injury to the public. That's serious stuff. If a boarder wants to risk injury, he may do so. But sometimes unwilling persons who are merely "there" are struck. Not cool. There is more. Skateboarders can sometimes damage property while participating in their sport. Railings on stairways can be bent. Concrete can be chipped or cracked. (Yes, it can.) Benches can be broken. Landscaping adjoining places where skaters challenge fixed objects can be trashed. Litter can be left at the site of a skate. All this contributes to the degraded appearance of facilities, both public and private. And it costs money to fix it. But by and large, most boarders don't crash into people. They avoid them on purpose, going out of their way to do so. They don't want to injure anyone and (surprise!) they don't purposely set out to hurt themselves. Skateboarders don't generally break fixtures or damage the landscape. Yes, sometimes, but not usually. There are a few "hard core" skateboarders who have a "hard headed" approach to their sport and they give everyone else a bad name. And some locals have taken a hard approach to the "problem" of skateboarding. That's where the civil codes banning skateboarding came from. The government is not against skateboarding, but is stuck enforcing the regulations because some special interests got codes enacted (either rightly or unfairly) to prohibit it.

What is the best brand of longboards?
There are a lot of good brands of skateboards i.e. Chocolate, Girl, Zero, Real, Anti-Hero, Roger, Stereo, Given, Agents In Red.
Bad brands i.e. World Industries, Enjoi, Darkstar,Almost, Blind several of these brands used to be the best brands but after they got so big they started having their decks made in China to make a larger profit margin....In other words they are sellout brands.
But i think its most about personal preference. My favorite is probably Real because they have a very precise inspection process and deeper concave and stiffer wood and glues .
