The pintail shape is popular with beginners for two main reasons: stability and cost. Their wheelbase is very long, and therefore very stable. For learning how to push and cruise, a pintail is optimal. Its potential beyond that is quite limited, but for people only wanting a board to commute on, it is a comfortable and suitable design.
Always Warm-Up becomes more important if the skate park is at least a 30 minute ride from your place. Jumping on the skateboard right away while trying to show your best tricks can lead you to a pretty ugly wipe-out. Instead, stretch your legs out a little and do whatever you think is best for you to loosen-up and relax.
