I've wanted to learn how to skateboard since I was a kid! Now that I'm older and have my own skateboard I'm having a bit of trouble teaching myself how to skate. I've watched videos and asked for advice, but having someone there to help me would be a lot better!

I'm a heavy-set person and my trucks have been tightened accordingly. Everything I've read says that plus-sized skateboarders should skate like everyone else, but I encountered the problem with my trucks' lack of resistance right away. So if you have any suggestions or experience regarding that, that would be great!

Preferably I'd like this to be an in-person lesson so anyone in the Northampton/Lehigh/Montgomery/Berks areas of Pennsylvania would be great. Thank you!
