Any suggestions as to a good first skateboard for a 6 and 9yr old…?
This one wouldn't be a bad choice. I'd ask if they had a particular brand in mind and just get them exactly what they want.
I don’t think many 6 or 9 year olds would know what they want. All I know is I regret buying my 7 year old a Kmart one and would love something that actually works. Isn’t this one a tad big for pre-teens?
Depends what kind of skating you want to do, plenty of elementary school kids longboard.
Would definetly suggest a smaller deck for street/tricks, but for rolling around I can't imagine it would matter.
@flopsy: Pretty harsh rolling around on a street board tbh. I would say for that something more like a cruiser is best
@boydbino: That's for sure, this deal especially (52mm 99a wheels). Just saying size isn't a damning factor for small peolpe, like it would be with a bike or similar.
@flopsy: Just get them on a quality board if that's what they're passionate about, they'll figure the rest out as they go
I had a similar situation when I was a kid. I was younger I wanted a Blind deck with KR3W trucks. My parents bought me a Mongoose skateboard from target. I felt really bad because I really didn't want it but at the same time had to put on a show to pretend I really liked it. Looking back on it I was lucky to have parents that would buy me what I wanted in the first place.
@quinine: Thanks for all the comments! Still not clear if I should buy this one for my 7 year old who wants a decent skateboard to learn some tricks and muck around in the park. Would a 7" board be better?
@bozbargain: I recently got this board for me (late 30s) and I got my 5 year old a 7.25 enjoi complete after watching a lot of Olympic skateboarding together. We have been learning to skate together and are progressing well with practice a few times each week. It's been a great lockdown activity. Lots of great progression step by step instructional videos on YouTube
@bozbargain: The 7.75 should be a good size for both at that age, by the time they needed something a little bigger this one would be well loved hopefully. As others have said the wheels won't be great for street skating but would be perfect for a skate park/other smooth surfaces.
Pretty much every brand uses the same construction. It's more about what kind of design they want and the shape and size.
I would recommend 7-8" for 6-9-year-olds. This 8.125" is just a bit too wide and is better for adults or 13+
Got one. Thanks!
Also got one. Literally was looking at getting one for young fella, didn’t wanna spend heaps in case he wasn’t into it, but this was too good to pass up.
just a word for those wanting to cruise, this is not for you. Really small wheels and long board. Otherwise great price for a complete
I am also looking for a first stake board for a 7 year old girl. Not sure what to get. Any recommendation?
Noting I haven't actually taught kids how to skate, anything after the cheap toy boards you see should be fine for learning to ride.
Have you looked at "mini-cruisers"? They're more like a longboard, not much good for tricks or vert ramps, but better to ride around and much easier to balance with.
Don't know anything about skateboard. Sure let me have a look at "mini-cruisers"
That was quick
Why did I buy this
Steez Master.
Because you live your life a quarter mile at a time?
Some might say a quarter pipe at a time
Urghh, take my upvote!
Is this better than a Vision Street Wear skateboard?
Black - This item is currently not available
This or a cruiser? I'm thinking cruiser to start off.
This is more for tricks. Cruiser for cruising
Paid $100 for a Vision Psycho Stick deck back in 1987
