Mini Kids Skateboards

Mini boards are lighter and shorter, allowing small children to control them more easily. The smaller deck width (6.0–7.0 inches) fits smaller feet, while softer bushings enable easier turning with less weight.

Children aged 3–5 typically benefit from decks 6–6.5 inches wide, while those aged 6–8 may prefer 7.0 inch decks. Ensure they can place both feet comfortably with some space to adjust stance.

Yes. Quality mini skateboards use maple plywood and metal trucks designed to withstand beginner tricks. However, heavy adult use can wear them out quickly, so they’re best reserved for children.

Most mini completes arrive fully assembled with grip tape, trucks and wheels attached. This lets kids start skating right away without the need to build the board.

They can handle basic tricks like ollies, kick turns and manuals, which are great for learning fundamentals. As kids grow and progress, they can move to wider decks for more advanced tricks.

Eventually. Wheels and bearings wear out, and kids may need a larger deck. Upgrading trucks and wheels can make the board more responsive as your child’s skills improve.

Absolutely. A helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards are essential. Wearing pads helps kids build confidence and reduces injury risk.

Start on a flat, smooth surface. Hold their hands while they learn to balance, then teach them how to push and stop. Encourage short practice sessions, focusing on fun rather than speed or tricks.
