As the parent of a child who wants to learn to skateboard, there are two questions you will have as you help launch your young skater.
Have your kids watch the video so that they know that you are also interested in what interest them in terms of the sport that they like. Doing skateboarding lessons is not an easy task since it requires your kids to be physically fit and help them have a good social life since in this kind of sport your kids can meet a lot of people too.
First off, what gear must my child use to start? The answer is a skateboard and safety gear. First the skateboard: do not under any circumstances buy a skateboard from a toy store or big discount chain. It may have cute graphics, but it will end up causing a whole lot of frustration for your child. Think about it, you didn’t use a toy vacuum to clean your first apartment. Same goes for sports equipment. You do not need to spend a fortune, but please buy a real skateboard from a skate shop, either near-by or on- line. Also, when you shop, buy what’s called a complete skateboard-one with the deck, wheels, trucks and grip tape. If you have to select each item, it will make you crazy and you are more than likely to get it wrong.
Have the DVd’s be more exciting by doing skateboarding lessons so tha tyou have to be very vigilant with the kids that they are going to have the most precious gift that you can give to them.
