What skateboard should I buy for my 8 year old who wants to try skateboarding?
I would like to know how much I should expect to spend for a safe, decent starter skateboard. I live near a skateboard shop where the prices start at $125. That seems outrageous for an eight year old who has never done it, and may eventually lose interest. But I don't want to underspend either, especially if safety is compromised, or if it would undermine his interest because of poor performance. I would like to spend around $50, or less. Is that possible? Can I get a decent one at that price? Would it be safe? Can anybody suggest a specific skateboard? Thanks.
Dont listen to that guy yea CCS got skateboards but you want to make sure your kid is going to want to continue skating. you dont want your 8 yr old decide to quit and you having a 100 dollar board taking up space in ur garage and taking a chunk out of your wallet. if ur 8yr old wants to continue on thats great! but wait until the board wears out and then invest on a 100+ skateboard. just make sure he is liking it enough to continue with the sport.
best place to get a skateboard for a 8 year old would be at a sporting good store like BIG 5 and Sports Authority. has a huge variety skateboards that is less than $50. it has all the same attributes as a pro skateboard but but the quality of it is worth of a intermediate basic maple wood. its really good to start of on. walmart/ target boards are not worth the hassle. there slow and they suck.
the boards at a sporting good boards vary here are most of the styles in a sporting good store. KROWN BOARDS (bought this for a beginner and now loves skating), AIRWALK, VISION, HARSH BOARDS, POORBOY, WORLD INDUSTRIES (this board runs about 59.99+ they are very good and pretty much the closest you will ever get to a 100+ board without spending to much.)
What kind of skateboard it a good brand for resale?
I am looking to buy a skateboard to learn on and i am ttly clueless. Is there a brand of good, quality skateboards that are of good/excelent quality if I bought it pre-owned. I dont get why people spend so much money on skateboards if they dont even know how to skate, also any tips for learning?
get a skateboard from Decked Out which sells everything you need for about $100 which is a bargain and they are good quality. or you could buy one off me http://d3k3d.deckpeck.com/.
So... Some skating tips...
When you first start out skating, search the ollie and pop-suv it, you should learn those tricks first. Also contact anyone you know who skates and they might be able to help you.
How do I know what size skateboard trucks to get for my skateboard?
There are so many skateboard trucks out there. But that's not why I need help, I need the size. There are lo-rise, mid-rise, 7.5s, 5.0s ETC. I need to know which size is best for my skateboard please. Is it better if you have smaller trucks?
Okay her it goes. The type of skating you do will decide what kind of trucks you have.
keep in mind that your truck length should always be the same as your board
If you skate vert or miniramp or tranny then your gonna want a wider board for more control and henceforth a wider truck. I would reccomend atleast an 8 inch board. For trucks they are measured in millimeters so you would want a 139mm truck.
If you skate street then you might want a skinnier board so that you can flip the board easier. Although if you have bigger feet it might be necessary to ride a bigger board. It's basically a trade from board control to flipping ease with changes in the width of boards. For street though, i would recommend 7.5in-8in. This depends on your feet size like I said earlier and how confortable you are on the board. For a 7.5in-7.75in board your gonna want a 129mm truck.
***it is important to have trucks the same with as your board but if they a half inch either way you will be fine.
As for high, mid, and low, this depends on what you skate also. With the low's your board will be lower to the ground and closer to the wheels which could cause your wheels to touch your board when you are turning and inhibit you from rolling (wheel bite). Although this can happen low trucks are better for people who want a little more control and are more comfortable on a board. The low's also have slightly less mass so it is easier to get more air, but only slightly. This truck is good for street skaters with more experience. As for the highs, these are better for vert, miniramp, tranny skaters because these skaters often have bigger wheels to roll faster on the ramps and they prevent wheel bite on ramps. Mids should be used for beginning skaters or someone who does a little of both types of skating.
Hope this helps. THANKS!
