Do you need skating shoes to skateboard?

Just as you wouldn't go bowling in the wrong shoes, and you wouldn't wear high-heels for running, you shouldn't wear normal trainers to skate. Wear proper skate shoes. They are designed to survive the wear and tear you get from skating; like when you do ollies in non-skate shoes, you will destroy the toe in a matter or minutes. Definately buy some good skate shoes.

Why is Skateboarding bad?

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with the act of Skateboarding, and especially nothing "bad" in the moral sense of the word.

There's a few reasons people may not like skateboarding or may feel that it is in some way "bad".

Some skateboarders abuse public spaces such as benches, concrete ledges, and handrails. Usually the damages are merely cosmetic - paints marks on rails and benches or small chips. This is the reason most businesses will not let a skateboarding skate on their property.

Technical skateboarding can be a noise problem. Even an ollie, a most basic technical trick, is pretty loud. This may be a nuisance to nearby pedestrians, residences, and places of business. This is also a valid reason for not liking skateboarding.

Lastly, skateboarding is sometimes associated with countercultural values, which is extremely unfair. To stigmatize people on boards that have four wheels is almost as ignorant as racism. And to stigmatize counterculture is ignorant too, but that's out of the scope of this text.

Whereas the smith grind would have your front truck on the side you are on by the rail, ledge etc. Hope that clears it up, its hard to explain without a demonstration. If not watch some videos and try and work out the difference.
