What a great question! I get asked this question a lot. I also get a "never heard of em" type of response. I didn't either, but I'm so glad I did! These are skateboards that specialize in sizes more catered to youth and smaller children. Sizes start at 6.75 for a toddler and goes up to a 7.75 (which comes in two different wheel base options). These boards are so awesome to carry for young skateboarders for so many reasons. An industry trend as a whole are board companies to sell large width decks and as a result there has been less "mini skateboards" being made that are super important for them to properly learn to skateboard.
As a Girl Dad I wanted to find a board for my little girl that was catered to not only her size, but her preferences as well. I want it to be a board that kids will get and love spending time on. Mini Ripperz Youth Skateboards are what some kids will get their first introduction to skateboarding from. How special is that to be able to give to the community. I'm super excited.
Exclusively for our first 3 months of opening if you purchase a Mini Ripperz complete we will throw in a free one week introductory lesson that will teach your kids to:
-Take care of your skateboard with proper storage and maintenance.
-Importance of protective equipment when learning how to skateboard.
-Safely where to skate and where not to skate.
-Standing and Pushing Basics to begin your journey skateboarding.
