Ookkie Learner Skateboard - Mint

Hop on the skateboard and you're ready to roll!

That feeling of being unstoppable - cool, confident, and free - as the skateboard wheels hiss and whoosh across the pavement, the wind tousles your hair, and everyone watches in awe - maybe you remember it yourself. 

As you were riding your skateboard, you were secretly learning to master all sorts of important skills. You probably didn’t think about it at the time, but riding a skateboard is a fantastic way to learn how to actively shift your body weight - your centre of gravity constantly changes as you bend and sway to keep your balance. Your knee and ankle joints also get stronger, and you get used to standing on one leg while pushing off with the other. And over time, skateboarding requires quite a bit of courage. When you finally figure out how to do something, you feel so proud. When you fall, you learn that you're close to mastering a new skill, so you just need to keep practising. After you put a cool bandage on, of course. 

Ookkie is a skateboard for kids that even little ones from around age 1 can enjoy. Those who’ve just learned to walk can stand on the board, hold onto the handle, and happily roll along as you give them a ride.

As the next step, you can remove the handle so your child learns to balance without it, while you're still controlling the speed and direction. 

You can also leave the handle on but stop pulling your child along, so they learn to push off on their own while still having the support of the handle. Mix, match, and switch the order of these steps depending on what works for your child. 

When your child is ready, you can remove the handles completely - then the Ookkie becomes a regular skateboard that your child can learn to master at their own pace. 

Ookkie is super easy to assemble with just a few clicks - no tools needed. Your child should always wear protective gear while riding their Ookkie. Store your Ookkie in a dry place—we recommend bringing it indoors when not in use.
