TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
About the trucks on the Play 120
To make this skateboard better suited to children aged 3-7 years, it features a wider wheelbase: the deck is lower and won't exert a lever effect on the nose and tail.
We chose ABEC3 bearings for a smooth ride and softer bushings to make learning to turn easier.
And to make sure this skateboard grows with your child, it features holes for moving the trucks to a normal position.
A skateboard that breaks the mould for young skateboarders
With its symmetrical design and lower height, the Play 120 doesn't look like a regular skateboard.
For greater stability, the trucks are set wider and at an incline.
The result: a lower deck to make pushing off easier.
With the trucks at the nose and tail, you no longer have a lever effect, which means no goofy or regular positioning - which is why it has a symmetrical shape. A skateboard that breaks the mould makes learning to ride more fun.
The “philosophy” behind this skateboard
"We wanted to create a skateboard that was truly suited to children ages 3 to 7 who need to learn how to push off, ride and turn. That's why we used real bearings for a smooth ride: learning a sport should still be fun. If things are always hard, fun goes out the window. We tested this skateboard in skateboarding schools for children in h, France, to create a simple, age-appropriate product. The aim was for children to have fun using it."
How should you learn to skateboard? Our design team has a few tips:
"First things first: to learn to skateboard, get yourself properly kitted out: helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, wrist pads. Protective gear means you can fall without getting hurt. Falling is a part of skateboarding, just like when you learn to walk. Or a bit like judo, when you learn how to fall. The second thing is to find the right place to practise: flat ground, without cars. An empty parking lot is a great place to start!"
