    Kidcalhoon2 is pretty keen to give skating a go after they had a session on a board I found in hard rubbish. I’m not a skater in any way, any tips on the type of board I could get them? I guess they just want to cruise, turn a bit, and maybe have a shot at the local skate park…

      Go to a real skate shop because the people working there know what they are talking about and can hook you up.

      With research you should be able to find a complete 7.25” no name/blank setup under $100.00 on sale.

      The biggest hurdle while you are there? Your child will see an awesome looking deck design and they are going to want that one. but it’s too big and expensive brand name haha.

        Yeah right on. Was just thinking of going to Kmart actually, but quick check and both Goliath and Hemley have complete entry boards for about $100.
