It IS easy to ripstick, but it is a difficult concept to learn. While our minds are used to wheels traveling in a straight line, we have to put all that aside to realize how a ripstick operates on shopping cart-like wheels. I find it is easiest to put my front foot on, keep it level, and push off like a skateboard while quickly placing my other foot on the back. Then to "push", you simply wiggle the back end which propels you forward. Once you get the feel for it, you can fine tune your abilities with jumping onto the ripstick to start out, wiggling the front AND back for speed and even doing tight circles in place which plays havoc on your equilibrium. But of course, as with all things in life, anything is easy if you practice practice practice.

How does gravity affect a skateboard?
Gravity affects skateboards just like it does with everything else. A great basketball player can only hang in the air for so long before he can dunk the ball, but the factor of gravity depends on the speed that the ball player was traveling when he left the ground. Now with skateboarding, the more speed you have, and the amount of pop you deliver in the ollie will depend on how high you get on the speed will help with the gravity and you can stay in the air longer. but like we have already heard, what goes up, must come down.

When your skateboard is scratched up does that mean you are a pro?
No, you are only a pro if YOU are scratched up, sometimes, you can be a pro and not be scratched up if you are a SUPER pro
First you have to understand concave. Concave is a term of the curve of the deck. Not from nose to tail, but from side to side. You will notice the board dips down in the middle (or comes up on the sides, however you want to look at it). This allows your heels/toes to flick the board for kickflips and heelflips. The deeper the groove (or the more the side come up) the more the concave. So, for a board to have mellow concave it is more flat.

Where you can get skateboards?
You can get skateboards at your local skateshop. One of the biggest skateboarding company is called ZUMIEZ. There, you can pick out any equipment or you can pick out gear. They will put everything together in front of you and you will be able to pick out everything on it. ZUMIEZ is usually in the mall, so if you have one near you, check there. Otherwise, if you can't find one, look on Google maps or something and type in "skateshop." Hope this helps! :)
You can also order from skateboard manufactures directly like http://www.strght.com.

How do you Ollie on a Sakteboard?
If you mean Skateboard, then I can help.
For starters, put your back foot at the end of the skateboard with only the ball of your foot touching the board, and put your front foot in the middle of the board.
Firstly, push down your back foot pretty hard.
Secondly, Jump with the skateboard
Then, slide your front foot to the top of the board.
When doing an ollie, when you push down and jump up, if you hear a "Popping" sound, then you know it'll be a good one. ;)
