As long as the board has four wheels and a proper deck.
It also depends on the wood.Lets say you got Maple wood.That would be a good board no matter how fake it seems

What is the difference between vulcanized sole and cup sole on a skate shoe?
They have to do with how the sole is placed onto the shoe. A Vulc shoe is a hot process where they melt or hot glue the outsole onto the shoe, then glue the (usually white) band onto the outside. A cup-sole is a cold prodded where they mold the whole outsole, band an all, and usually stitch the sole onto the shoe. Vulc has a better board feel because it's a thinner outsole. Cupsole provides more protection because it's a thicker mold. :)
How did the skateboard evolved?
The deck of the skateboard was plastic and could not hold a lot of weight on it. The trucks on the skateboard were poorly made too! Now they have wood decks and holds lots of weight! The trucks on the board are now made of better materials!
Where do you put your feet on a skateboard before your about to kickflip a picture would be helpful?
Kickflips are a great intermediate trick and they can take people ages to learn with the wrong technique. I spent about a month practicing them over a year ago putting my front foot down on the flick, this caused me about six months of skating to relearn and perfect. The back foot is the same as an ollie, centred on the tip of the tail. Some skaters have it slightly off centre to help it spin when they are learning, but this isn't necessary and may be bad in the long run when you need to do them over or up obsticles. A clean pop and sturdy ollie are essential before attempting the kickflip. The flip of the board is all down to the front foot. It should be between two and four inches behind the front bolts. You want to have it pointing at approximatly a 45 degree angle, but this can vary depending on your flick technique and board. There are three basic ways of getting the board to flip easily, these are: -Using a smaller board. However this is not recommended for people with bad balance or large feet/shoes. -Placing your foot nearer to the boards tail, this gives you a better time to flick off the board. -Finally, placing the front foot nearer to the heel edge of the deck can increase the speed of the spin. Experienced skaters can add style with a slow spin, but when you're starting out you should aim for a quick rotation in order to have time to land the trick. Hope this helps, it is quite long and I hope I haven't confused you. Any other questions send me a message on youtube my username is twellsskater. Have fun and practice hard. I am a very slow learner, this trick took me over 6 months to perfect, but now it is definitly worth it.

Should you learn the kickflip or heelflip first?
It took me about one or two months to learn the kickflip. The hardest part is learning how to land it. It only took about 12 days to learn to heelflip after learning to kickflip, because the hardest part about both of them is just learning how to land the trick (Once you are comfortable with spinning the board all the way over, concentrate on lifting your back foot up.) You land them about the same way, you spin the board, lift up your legs, let it spin, and land it. It doesn't take very long to learn how to flip the board, so all I had to was learn to spin the board with a heelflip. It doesn't really matter which one you learn first, they are very similar. I think you should learn the kickflip first, but that's just because to me kickflips are easier to do. I think they are easier to spin. The hardest part is just learning to land it, once you can land one of the tricks, you've basically just learned both of them. You just have to learn how to spin the other one. Make sure when you try to spin a heelflip, that you are dragging your foot up, and flicking it off at the concave. When you are trying to spin a kickflip, make sure you are flicking off the concave also and that you are flicking out and not down. If you flick down you will slam the board into the ground. Make sure and don't flick too hard when doing a kickflip. This will cause your board to shoot out away from you. You just want to go out a few inches past the concave, and do it lightly. If you have any other problems just let me know and I'll see if I can help you! :)
