Jack here to help again on some beginner advice! We know how exciting it is when a young rider is looking at getting their first stunt scooter, but it can be a bit of a mine field for what you actually need. Whether they’re heading to the skatepark or just starting out in the driveway, getting the right setup and the right kit from day one makes a world of difference. We're going to go through the key things in this blog that you need to know to get off to the best start you can.
What is the Scooter Starter Pack?
Well, to curate the perfect starter pack, you need to first nail down what we call the big 3... Number 1, the scooter. Number 2, the protection. Number 3, your style. Let's break it down.
The Scooter.
Arguably the most important part to get started... for obvious reasons! You first scooter should be durable, fairly lightweight, and most importantly, the right size. There is nothing worse than getting a scooter and it turning out to be too small, or too large. This will hinder your progression levels and can make the experience overall less enjoyable.
We're more than happy to help find you the correct size scooter, and referring to our Size Guide is a great way to get an idea of the right size scooter for you.
The Protection.
Again, this is is an incredibly important part when it comes to starting out. Confidence is key when riding a scooter, and taking a knock with no pads or helmet on may be enough to break that confidence.
Wrap yourself up to ensure your sessions go as smoothly as possible. And check out some bundle deals that you'll be able to find when going for a stunt scooter!
The Style.
Now, this is the fun part. As we know, everyone has their own taste in scooter, so you need something that reflects your personal style. We try to give as many options for colourways as possible, but you may want to personalise your scooter further...
The best way to do this, and at a pretty low cost would be to change grips, griptape and wheels! We have a huge collection of designs, colours and patterns that you can choose from. If you order at the same time as the complete, we can even put them on for you!
Anything else?
Now we've been through the big 3, is there anything else you should consider? Well, yes, a couple bits.
You may have this covered already, but pick up some tools to maintain your scooter as it should be. And consider picking up some scootering clothing so that you look the part at the park.
