What's a good $100 skateboard for an 11 year old boy?
My kid is turing 11 next week and wants a new skateboard. He's certainly no pro, he can ollie and that's about it. I know there's a lot to consider, such as balance, bearings, etc., but I don't know EXACTLY what to consider. Is there store I should go to (we have a Vans in our mall) or should I find a local shop that know what's up? Is there a brand to stay away from, or is there a brand I should prefer? I'm looking to spend about $100, a little less or a little more is fine. Thanks for your help!
