I don't think there is such thing as a skateboarding coach.

You can really only learn tricks and new things by people, videos, and magazines/books. You should start off by learning simple tricks like the ollie. Or practice turning/balancing. I recommend ''Tony Hawk Trick tips'' video(s) You can order it from your public library. They help a lot! Also read the books! And practice skating with a friend!

go on youtube and they teach you certain things...if you want someone to train you ask a friend who skateboard or go to a skate park and ask someone there...yeah I think their are skate coaches but whats the point of it getting one and wasting money when you can just ask a friend

There is a neat ebook out there that has helped me a lot!

I'd also recommend googling learn how to skateboard. There's some great videos out there, but that ebook really helped me a lot. happy
