I am gonna start skateboarding for the exercise. Wondering if it is good. Also is it easy to learn the tricks of skateboarding? Also any recommendations on what set up to get? Also do you need a credit card for ccs.com or can you just pay it with money? What size board to get for a person like me with 7 size shoes? Also what trucks would fit with that board, and hardware? I know there is more questions that goes off that topic.
 
considering that most skaters i see are insanely skinny, i would say its a good way to stay thin, but not a good workout

Skateboarding is great excersize but at a great personal risk. Since your new to the sport, hold off on buying a crazy good board. Get a cheap walmart board, and try out skating for a while. If you like it and dont die, progress to getting a better board. Skateboarding mainly works the legs, abdomen, and glutes. Almost all skateboards are the same size, so dont worry about shoe size and board size. Its all in the grip tape. All boards are easily customizable. Skateboarding tricks are not easy to learn, but look at stuff on youtue on how to learn. Personally you should start ith these to things .1) Getting used to the board w/ balance/ 2) the Ollie. After these 2 basics are learned your possibilities are endless
