Our Opinion:

We are often approached by parents who are concerned about spending a large amount of money on an absolute beginners skateboard for obvious reasons such as “will my child remain interested” or “this could be a waste of money”. Ultimately this is for you to decide but here’s what we have to say about low cost skateboards:

We test and approve our beginner boards to ensure they turn and have an appropriate speed to enable the beginner to learn.

These skateboards are suitable to learn on and perform tricks and maneuvers, but when the user is at the stage of doing tricks and maneuvers, they will dramatically know the difference between a low cost skateboard (30-60) and a pro specification skateboard complete (setup) – usually 90 – 150. You can find very cheap skateboards for under 30, but we consider them to be inappropriate and very difficultto learn on as the trucks do not turn as necessary and the wheels are not fast enough and in most cases made of dangerous materials that do not provide the necessary grip. Low cost skateboards rarely get a beginner off towards a fair start and will not assist progression and interest alike.

You usually find that skateboards priced from 90 are much faster and easier to learn on and the child feels that bit cooler when going to the local skatepark.

We often advise locals at Prime Skatepark to borrow our skateboards foras long as you like to gauge interestand save up the difference to buy a pro spec skateboard.

But all this being said, any skateboard is better than no skateboard and it will always be better to have your own for familiarityreasons.
