My 4 year old (nearly 5) has just got in to skateboarding and by his third try he is now doing kick turns. He has no problems with balance and moving about the board but even though I have loosened the trucks of his board right off he doesnt seem to have the weight to get the board to turn (hence him figuring out kick turns!).
he has a Rocket - mini board (from anti gravity in York, it wont let me post a url)
My question is what can I do to help out his turning?
are the trucks on that board not good enough or is he just too light at the moment?
At some point I will want to get him a "proper" board but he is quite small so I dont know what would be best for him and my pocket!
Any advice is appreciated.
I have also started skateboarding to keep up with him, at 42 I certainly think I'm middle aged enough
