i want to get my 4 year old nephew into skating. what would be a good setup for him? i havent bought a kid a skateboard ever lol
The two main things I would always ask are 1. Budget and 2. Ability as they were both pretty much combined.
If you don't care how much you spend, then go for whatever you like.
Has he skated at all before, or even just had turns on your board or anything? If he is a beginner, almost anything would be a good start, even old setups if there are any to be made, but if it is an event like a birthday or something, you kind of want to get something a bit more exciting than a crusty old complete.
Remember though, you would not put a beginner driver in a race car, so you really don't want to get him on a pro setup if he is not there yet.
After seeing what my nephew was interested in and helping him get stand up rides on a few of my boards, I got him a 7.25 complete and put soft wheels on it, so he could go where ever and not really get stuck. Right now I don't think he actually skates much, but at least he has it to push around on when ever I help him or we see them at family events.
