Skateboard Planet

I bought a skateboard from my local department store and ever since then I have been trying to ollie on it. My friend had a custom skateboard made up and he let me try it. I was ollying with ease. Does this mean that my board is bad quality? And if so, what is a good, cheap beginners skateboard?

this is why anyone who skateboards will tel you NOT to buy those department store boards. They're not the best to learn on and for 20-40 bucks more you could have gotten a brand name complete that would have been 100 time better. So look into those, there are many places that sell completes and some are good priced and great for beginners. Good brand name completes are ones like blind, powell, world industries, enjoi, darkstar. You'll find anything and everything cheaper online, local skateshops sell completes but for a bit more unles you use their deck brand which is just as good as most brand name decks. I'll give you a website to check out it'll show krown boards on their but they're not that great of a board. Learning about your board is good to, learn how to take it apart, clean the bearings and keep them lubed.
