   Skateboards in Ukraine

For the last few years, skateboarding has been the most popular street sport. A skateboard will be a great surprise for a mobile child if he is already 8 years old and weighs at least 40 kg. Skateboard for children means bright emotions, dexterity training and reaction. Parents have to psychologically prepare and buy a skateboard, comfortable and safe. And for this you need to explore the supply market.

The design of classic and professional skateboards is the same: board, suspension, wheels. Children's skateboard is a lightweight option: reduced wheel diameter, bearing design limits speed, lower cost. And the extravagant design attracts children and teenagers. Before you buy a skateboard, make sure that the manufacturer has provided quality control at every stage of production. Especially when you need a skateboard for girls. Please note that from 5 to 10 years a child should ride under parental supervision, and up to 15 years — do not perform tricks of increased complexity.

Children's skateboards must be reliable and easy to use. Preliminarily inspect the board from the side for dents and bumps. Bundles indicate a loss of dryness of the material. Some models require adjustment and testing of the factory settings. Do not exceed the recommendations for the maximum weight of the owner. It is desirable to have a stock of 10-15 kg. Otherwise, when performing tricks or in an emergency, there is a risk of injury. And the warranty period for children's skateboards in such cases does not apply. The desire to buy a skateboard and not lose it is a completely justified desire, because a quality children's skateboard can provide better safety.

The board should be chosen taking into account the following indicators:

• the length of the skate is proportional to the height and weight of the child/adult, and the width of the skate is selected according to the size of the leg (20.32 cm for an adult and 19.05 cm for a teenager);
• deck material (Canadian maple will be the most suitable);
• the number of layers of wood (7-9) and the quality of their bonding there should be no delamination;
• the board should be perfectly flat (if you look at it from the end);
• it is recommended to take medium and thick joints between the board and the wheels.

Sometimes the wooden layers are supplemented with a plastic layer, it makes it easier to ride on the railing, but makes children's skateboards heavier and increases the risk of injury of this type of transport. If you want to buy a skateboard, prefer a board that does not have too hard rollers. Marking 90A will be optimal. ABEC-5 ball bearings will increase the speed of skating, but will cost more. It is better to choose a board from a well-known manufacturer. Chinese masters are not the best skateboarders. For beginners and advanced, you can buy a skateboard to move around the city and perform tricks in our MotoLux online store. We present children's skateboards of Baby Tilly, Profi, Viper trademarks.

When you choose a children's skateboard, pay attention to the following components:

1. Board. Quality board is made by gluing wooden layers in different directions. The more layers, the less likely the presence of "poorly reinforced fibers". The board has an oval, symmetrical shape. The nose and tail are curved for better maneuvering and turning. Maple is the main material of the board: it is light, strong, can withstand loads up to 100 kg. There are different options for products.

2. Hardness of wheels. Their rigidity provides control and controllability of a skateboard. The softer the wheels, the less vibration. However, they wear out faster and reduce speed. Hard options are suitable for high-speed mode. It should be noted that when performing jumps on this it is more difficult to maintain balance. The hardness index is indicated in each description.

3. Pendant. With its help the wheels are attached to the board. Aluminum suspension is impact resistant, has a high level of strength. There are models with a plastic lining for tricks on the ramp in the skate park.
