Little one keen to try out this skateboarding thing - big one not so keen on the price tag? Look no further than the Tony Hawk Signature Series 540 boards.
It's pretty safe to say that this is the entry-level for a functional skateboard, anything less is a toy and - - barely postponed landfill. But if you're going to trust someone to put together a solid board at great value, has got to be on the list!
At 31.5" x 8" this is a model for slightly bigger kids, ages 10-14+, but naturally there is some wiggle room there - it's good to have some room to grow!
Whilst the size and shape of this board is great for the little ones, we've found the stock bushings to be a bit too hard for them to really get leaning and turning. Don't fret! . For most people looking at this board, you'll want to choose "Extra soft" or "Soft" from the dropdown before adding to cart - and we'll ship out the originals with the board so you've got options for later down the line.
With hard (99a) wheels and full double-kick profile this is definitely one for those who are keen to get into the skatepark. If cruising around the cul-de-sac is more the vibe, we'd highly recommend starting out on a where the soft wheels will make the whole thing easier, smoother and more fun for all involved.
But if you are looking for a great value, well-built skateboard to get dropping in, you simply can't argue with the Tony Hawk SS 540s.
