Fun on wheels doesn't get cooler than skateboarding. The extreme sport has been around for decades, but skateboarding just made its debut as an Olympic event at the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo in 2021. Now, with more kids than ever inspired to skate, the first step is choosing the right board.
For young kids, mini cruisers are a great choice. They're small, maneuverable and inexpensive — perfect for skaters still developing their sense of balance. Double-kick skateboards or longboards are the next step up. Double-kicks are better for tricks, while longboards are ideal for cruising long distances. Either way, beginners should pick a skateboard with a wide deck for added stability.
Skateboards under $100 do the job just fine. However, experienced skaters have the option of upgrading to wooden boards with better wheels and better bearings. Some are even made of recycled material to help reduce waste. These are the best skateboards in every price range.
