When can I buy a skateboard?

If the child is not yet 7-8 years old, then you do not need to buy this toy. Although many begin to do this early, it is still dangerous. In the latter case, the child must have a coach. Experts believe that mini skateboard can be purchased from 7 years. Children have the formed coordination of movements, therefore they can keep and not fall.

If he wanted to practice this sport after watching the extreme show, then, probably, it's just a temporary desire. After a couple of training sessions, the child does not want to continue studying.

Choosing a Whiteboard

A mini skateboard must match the growth and age of a beginner athlete. It should be taken into account that the length of the reliable board is 78-83 cm, and the width is 19-21.5 cm, but such dimensions may not be suitable. There are several boards intended for different ages of children:

• Micro - up to 5 years. Board is ideal for children up to 1 meter in height.
• Mini - 6-8 years. The height of the athlete should be 1-1,4 m.
• Mid-size - 9-12 years. The thing is suitable for growth up to 1.5 m.
• Decks - from 13 years. Growth can be different, it is important that the shoe size is not less than 38.

What is the name of the mini skateboard yet? Ready products have the name complete-version. This is better to buy. Prefabricated boards are suitable for a later time. The product must not have a bundle. The price of a skate is determined by the presence of a picture. Some children ask their parents to buy a plain board, which can then be painted.

Material

A quality mini skateboard is made from Canadian maple. The tree is subjected to compacting, after which it is laid in layers. In the range there are also plastic products. Their price is much less, but they are worse in terms of elasticity and longevity.

There are manufacturers who combine wood with fiberglass and aluminum, but such products will be appreciated only by a professional. It is better for a child to choose wooden skateboards that are safe and durable.

Dimensions

The effectiveness of training does not depend on the length of the skateboard. But still need to buy a long board. It will be ideal for tall children. For a child under 10 years of age, the product is 20 cm wide. If such a thing is suitable, then you need to practice your skills. Only then you can choose another board.

Surface

A mini skateboard for children should have a flat surface. To check, you need to raise the board. If you see even some irregularities, you need to choose another option.

Pendants

Pendants are called elements with a size of 12-14 cm, which are screwed under the product. They can have different weights. Heavy suspension is the most reliable.

These products should be wide, so that a stable support is provided. High suspensions are required for high-speed driving, so children need to purchase a product with low tracks.

Wheels

They are made of polyurethane, and their diameter is 52-70 mm. For beginners, you need to choose small wheels, because they are much more convenient. In the future, you can buy something more.

You must take into account the rigidity. It is from 87a to 100a +. The first option is considered soft, with increased grip, and the second - hard and fast. A mini skateboard for beginners should have soft wheels that do not transmit vibration. Their disadvantage is fast wear.

Bearings

These products serve as a support for the skateboard. Their task is to reduce friction and correct loading. For these purposes, use closed parts, because the dirt in them almost does not penetrate.

Conquest

This concept involves lateral bends, which skateboard has to perform various tricks. In some products there is a layer of plastic, necessary for sliding along the railing. It is more convenient for beginners to learn on a flat board.

You do not need to buy a skateboard beforehand, because it is deformed during storage. To extend the life of the skate, you need to follow simple tips:
