The thing is, at that age its harder to stop your head hitting the floor if you slam. Whilst we weigh much more we have enough muscle to protect our heads. They don’t

Fucks knows. I have to go via Instagram for everything. For someone who works in tech I’m fully retarded when it comes to tech

I’m going to make my son skate for 8 hours a day and get him on Team GB.
Joke, I’m gonna let him scoot around the park and push his giant JCB digger into the bowl.

Same as a photo.
Might be too long, split it?
Didn’t think you could put a video on here.
Yeha mine says not authorised extension. Wack
Is he doing back lips yet?
@anon83623327 @buildafire nah can’t upload vids, only pics and GIFs.
The bandwidth would kill me if we started hosting video
You can upload to Imgur I think for free. YouTube probably better though

DON’T GET A PENNY CRUISER!!
The dimensions are all wrong - too narrow board, no nose or tail to learn tic-tacs, far too narrow trucks and oversized wheels. At 5 years, she’ll be sitting on the board most of the time and something a little bigger, although heavier, will give more stabilty and control. The big wheels mean it’s a (proportionally) bigger distance between the top of the board and the ground, so when she learns to push, her thighs will get burned out way easier.
I bought my son a Stereo plastic cruiser (same, but cheaper) when he was 2, he brought it everywhere like a teddy for a while, but didn’t do much with skating till I set him up with a Magenta mini - 27" (I think) x 7.25" with Ace 33 and 54mm Ricta Clouds a few years ago. There’s a couple of spots nearby with skatepark-smooth concrete where I’ve taken him a couple of times and he finds it way easier with the mini than the plastic cruiser.
Interestingly, his friends all give the cruiser a shot whenever they call over, I think it’s the colours or something…

Daughter likes trying to stand up now, so that means on her skateboard too. Time to upgrade.

My daughter has a mini meow deck, indy 129s, and Nora OJ wheels and Nora mob grip. Went for as much of a all female complete as possible. She barely uses and prefers her balance bike. Youngest seems a bit more keen to have a go though
