according to my brother who's in the target group he says that a regualr skateboard is easy to ride, even though he gets Bo-Bo's.
Some ideas he suggested:
- cool colors! (emphesis on cool)
- where to put your feet (markings help)
- Spinners
My Suggestions after watching him try to skateboard
- wider board, so its easier to stand on (wide wheel base)
- larger wheels with a low ground clearance would help a lot, think of an off-road board
- easy way to maintain speed once it gets going
- a speed limiter (make it adjustable for learning)
- something to keep it on the ground, 2nd graders don't need to be doing ollies and grinding on the curb
