How to build a skateboard for ramp and street?

Question

My son is 9 years old and likes to skate half pipes, pools, and a little street. How do I build a skateboard for ramps and pools, and one for street. He has one element 7.5 deck and a plan b 7.75 deck. Tell me what board size he should be using and what wheel size etc... Give links if possible.

Answer 1

The guy above me is all wrong, for vert you need large wheels, i would recommend spitfire 54mm or so, reds bearings, the deck should be 7.5 - 7.75 and no larger for him, and some tensor lows would be good. by build him a board i hope you mean buy him a setup because if you mean actually build one from scratch, good luck...the final product will suck.

Answer 2

make him do it him self, its costly and its alot of hard labor, and he should be using a board, the only size they come in, and small wheels for vert, big for street
