Ok Tony Hawk.

Can anyone confirm it it was worth it? Just reserved one for my son.

Picked ours up from the Ashton store yesterday and it's an absolute bargain!!!!

Ah - thanks.

How do you get the extra 10% off please?

Thanks. I think I will just leave it after all. He's not asked for one but we dobhave a skate park next to us so it will cone eventually. I'd rather buy him something that he will be able to learn to use instead
of just having a go and then not bothering again as he finds it frustrating. Cheers.

Yeah they are. Sure it is possible to ride in a straight line on those boards but as soon as you want to turn they are just rubbish. If anything it will just put a child off like SithSurfer said with your boy leaving it in the shed. Penny boards are all the fashion right now and although I don't recommend them it is still possible to learn basic movements on them fine.

When I do the lesson I provide an Enuff complete skateboard which is adequate for a beginner. I have found one for £34.95 on Rollersnakes - http://www.rollersnakes.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/163724

Could still be worth getting this deal though as a helmet and pads cost around a tenner anyway.

Got this last month for £15, pads are really cheap and are a little uncomfortable when first used but better than cut and bruised knees! Helmet is great, skateboard is a bonus, I just wanted pads and helmet so board quality wasn't an issue, but will certainly do as a starter board, for balance practice if nothing else. Hot.

From my experience - if you don't have a skatepark nearby and you want to get your kid on a board start with Penny or small cruiser - big wheels are easier to learn on paths. My 5 year old hated his wee skateboard but he picked up super fast on his penny :smiley:

As for the deal it's worth getting it just for the extras :smiley:

Please only buy this if it is for a child aged 4 or under to have a little play on. Much better spending £30 and buying a mid range branded skateboard for a child serious about learning. As an instructor I have seen parents bring terrible boards along to lessons which just don't make it possible to seriously ride a skateboard properly.

Don't need it and I'm not getting it!

thx op ordered one for the little one

Exactly Daddio, thats what I realised. Helmet and pads at £9 is a good buy and you get skateboard as a bonus

Thankyou for sharing this. My daughter got a bike for Christmas and now just needs a helmet. So this is excellent with the added bonus of skateboard and pass as well.
Merry Christmas to you.

Seems like a good wee starter set. Your tempting me to start next years shopping.
