Bearings come in different qualities from ABEC 1 and the bushings allow the deck to lean for turning.\nThe nose and tail refer to the front and back of the skateboard.\nWhy does a skateboard have a front and a back? Because not everyone puts the same foot in front. Skaters have a goofy stance when they put their right foot at the front, and a regular stance when they put their left foot in front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOur passionate skateboarding team talks about how they designed this skateboard:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"It all started two years ago. We wanted to create a skateboard that was truly suited to children ages 4 to 7 who need to learn how to push off, ride and turn. That's why we used real bearings for a smooth ride: learning a sport should still be fun. If things are always hard, fun goes out the window. We tested this skateboard in skateboarding schools for children in Dordogne, France, to create a simple, age-appropriate product. The aim was for children to have fun using it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow should you learn to skateboard? Our design team has a few tips:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"First things first: to learn to skateboard, get yourself properly kitted out: helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, wrist pads. Protective gear means you can fall without getting hurt. Falling is a part of skateboarding, just like when you learn to walk. Or a bit like judo, when you learn how to fall. The second thing is to find the right place to practise: flat ground, without cars. An empty parking lot is a great place to start!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow do you teach your child to skateboard?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA few pointers:\n- Your child can start by learning to push off, with one foot on the skateboard and the other on the ground. Once they feel more comfortable, they can learn to ride on the board.\n- You can also give them a hand: have your child stand on the board while you push them gently. They can start to learn to balance and get a feel for turning without having to worry about pushing off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDeck dimensions\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e71.12 cm x 19.81 cm (28\" x 7.8\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs your child ready to learn to ride a skateboard?
