What is a good age to start skateboarding?
5 – 10 years old
At Board Blazers, we recommend 5 – 10 years old is the best time to start skateboarding.
Below 5 years old, most kids probably won’t have the best balance to completely learn how to skateboard. As a result, they’ll get frustrated quickly and end up not liking skateboarding at all.
How long should I skateboard a day?
If you want to get good, three to six hours a day is realistic…even more, if you’re not already drenched in sweat, or snapping your legs off. Skating parks are usually a place you’ll learn, and grow the most.
