Well, here’s a big secret some of you may not know about that will help you out. Are you ready? Well, here it is…IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER (as long as you buy a REAL skateboard, not like the ones you find in Wal-Mart and Toys R’ Us…those are just dangerous). There is no real difference in skateboard brands that will make one better than the other. The only real thing to look out for is the size of the skateboard, other than that everything is pretty much the same. There may be slight differences in the concave and shape, but these are so minuscule to the beginner that it won’t affect you at all. Over time, skaters tend to associate themselves with specific brands and begin to prefer certain boards, but this is just natural and happens in pretty much every sport…it doesn’t mean that one is better than the other.

So if you are buying a skateboard for your kids or grandkids, you can’t really go wrong…don’t worry about getting the best, because they are pretty much the same.
