Shorter Wheelbase

We didn't just create smaller boards; we designed new deck molds to produce decks with shorter, wider proportions, tuned for kids learning to skateboard. The wider deck provides a more stable platform for confident foot placement, while the shorter wheelbase is better suited for a compact stance. Reduced nose and tail lengths in proportion to shorter legs also means a more manageable kick angle to work the tail.

Softer Wheels and Bushings

Smaller skaters often weigh less, so standard wheels and bushings may not be ideal for a grom starting out. We’ve replaced the bushings with softer urethane, making it easier for young skaters to turn, make small adjustments and stay in control. Our new 83a Softie kids wheels make it much easier for them to ride over bumps, cracks, or small things in the way that would normally stop harder wheels in their tracks.
