I'm going to tell you some do's and don't's about skating. You will wan't to get appropriate shoes. Not because you need to look like a skater. You need to no that skating is a sport not your job or a trend.
Do:Like I said you need the right shoes. Just like football players wearing cleats,skaters wear skate shoes. Skate shoes have grip. They last long, the grip tape wears on your shoes. So what you should do is get good fitting shoes with padding.
Don't:Buy your board from a real skate shop.If you go to Wal-Mart or some store like that you are going to get a crappy board. It is important to have a good board. With skateboards you really get what you pay for.
Do:Experiment,there are different genres of skating find what you enjoy. Vert skating is when you ride half pipes. Street skating is rails,boxes and things of that sort. Try them all and see what you like better.
Don't:If you are going to skate you have to realize you might get hurt. Don't be scared of trying things because you might fall. The best part of skating is landing a trick that you have fell on a lot of times. Don't go half in on your tricks if your trying something try 100% if not you'll be more likely to fall.
And finally do: Skate a lot. The more you skate the better you'll get. And the better you get the funnier the sport is. After a while you get so good you can try almost any thing and that's when I think you'll have the most fun.
But over all don't: Skate to be cool. Skate for fun. It's not a trend it's a sport. If you skate to be cool you won't have any fun,it's something you enjoy.

Damien obviously you love to scate. I love to BMX its like second nature to me. Like you said you need the right type of material for skating you need the right type of material to BMX. In most sports you need to do it for fun and not for being cool.
