1. How to recruit a gangster into my gang?
That’s easy, just go to a member of the Orange Grove Street and aim at him (the right mouse button – default) and press G at your keyboard. From that moment, the gangster has become your gang member. That means he follows you anywhere, he shoots at members of other gangs and he also protects you ;o). If you don’t want the guy to follow you any more, aim at him and press key H. The maximum number of gang members depends on the level of your respect.
2. How to start a gang war?
Simply find the area of enemy gang in Los Santos and kill several of its members. Then, the note about unleashing war will turn up. Armor and health will start to show up round you, so don’t forget to pick them up! Sometimes, it might easily happen that the enemy gang will attack you!

19. I’d like to ask, if it is possible to ride on a skateboard in gta sa. (Sent by Jan Vantuch)
You can’t ride on the skateboard in the game, but you can use it as weapon – when you download it in the download section in the weapon folder. (Sent by M. Havlíček)
Although you can own a skateboard in San Andreas, you can use it only as weapon, and, for instance, hit people with it. Unfortunately you can’t ride on it. You can get a skateboard according to walkthrough in the Scorpion’s WinCheater:
"Open the default.ide file in the dates folder and rewrite the link
335, knifecur, knifecur, null, 1, 50, 0 to following:
335, skateboard, skateboard, null, 1, 50, 0.
And now you’ve got skateboard instead of knife. "
But I’ve read somewhere you can also download modifications, which give you a skateboard instead of BMX and then you can ride on it. (Sent by Petr Zvoníček)
