How to choose a skateboard for children

One of the most extreme developing sports is skateboarding. He is interesting and very captivating. An excellent alternative to a bike and a scooter can be a skateboard for children.

In 1958 surfers from California attached four wheels to the surfboard and rolled on small slides. Since 1971, this adaptation has acquired a completely new look - Richard Stevenson has come up with a bend of the edges and tail. This made it more maneuverable and made it easy to control and rotate it. This kind of board immediately became very popular. But in the eighties for no known reasons, many states began to close skate parks. But this had the opposite effect. Skaters began to ride just along the streets. It attracted even more people. There were first specialized shops. Active games on skateboards to this day remain popular and interesting.

The skateboard board has the name "deck". The bent front end is called the "nose", and the same rear is called "Tail".

Skateboards for children are identical to the product for adults. They are only slightly lighter in weight or smaller. But this is not always a plus. If the child is 10 years old or older, it is already safe to purchase an adult reliable skate.

How is the easiest way to choose a quality skateboard for children:

• The strongest, strongest and most reliable skateboards are made from Canadian maple. They are six-, seven- and nine-layered. The layers are firmly pressed together and glued together. The higher the quality of the adhesive, the less likely that the board will begin to separate. Skates designed for rolling on the rails have a plastic layer on the bottom. When choosing a deck, you need to check that the board no longer starts to separate. But too dry, lying in the warehouse for a long time to take it is not necessary. Such a skate can quickly break down.
• The length of the deck is not very important for the child. But if your offspring is not very small, it's better to choose a longer skate.
• If the child is tall, it will be more convenient for him to ride a wider skateboard. But when your young athlete himself will choose for himself a certain style of riding, then it will be easier to decide on the width of the board. A wide, stable skate is ideal for performing slides. And if the child perfectly goes "twist", then the ideal option - a narrow maneuver board.
• Over time, the decks are deformed. When choosing a skateboard for children, give preference to what was made relatively recently.
• Pay attention to the wheels. On the soft it's much more pleasant to drive, but they will not keep speed. A minus the hard wheels is that the skate vibrates strongly.

Perhaps the first skateboard you bought for children will start the big sports career of your child. After a while, you will surely be proud of your child and tell everyone that this is your son or your daughter. Therefore, add the baby to the sport, get him a skateboard for the children, and he will get a push to develop in the right direction, and also learn how to competently take all his free time and not spend it on stupidity.
