Might not be the best place for this but the sub-forum seems dead.....
My 7 year old has started showing an interest in skating, and I’ve realised that I’m far more likely to take him to skate park so he can practice being Tony Hawk if I’ve got something to do rather than just stand around and be judged by 16 year olds. As such I’m thinking that I need a street/park bike that I can just tool around on; but I have no idea what I’m looking for.
Basically I want something that can get me to/from the skate park, and lets me do simple jumps (might as well practice things I’m bad at when I’ve got the time) etc while there. I’m aiming at low cost but is there anything in particular I should look out for or avoid with parts/spec/brand?
Also, how does sizing work for these style bikes, I can’t make any sense of the sizing I see on ebay/gumtree etc. I’m 6ft and ride a large on ‘normal’ bikes.
