Aussie kids’ skateboard brand, Ookkie has announced the expansion of their world first learner skateboard range with handles, with brand new Mint and Purple boards being added to their incredibly popular range, following the launch of their latest lightweight design that is now even easier to set up and pack down than ever before. To celebrate, we are giving one lucky reader the chance to win an Ookkie skateboard for their kids!

Ookkie Skateboards are the first of their kind in the world, boasting a handle so parents can hold onto their toddlers to help teach them the balance they need to learn how to skate, while the little riders can also hold onto their very own handle. These boards for beginners can also help develop core strength and stability, with some little skaters using them as young as 10 months old!

Revolutionising how kids learn to skate, the Ookkie is also a great alternative to prams for many families, as it’s easy to set up and packdown, fitting into the boot of any car – perfect for mums on the go! Ookkie aims to encourage families to get out and about in the great outdoors whilst kids learn to skate in the safest way possible. 

For young riders who are confident in standing up and are skateboarding in a safe, protected environment, the parent’s handle can be removed so the board can be used with only the children’s handle. This phase allows the rider to explore ‘pushing’ and making the board move without assistance, but still provides balance support for the child.

Finally, when your little one is ultra-confident on their Ookkie, they can remove all handles and use the skateboard on it’s own without any parental or handle assistance. Each of these setting options are easy to set up and the Ookkie height is adjustable for both the parents and the kids so this training skateboard can be used by anyone. 

Founded in 2016 by Aussie Dad and tradie, Daniel De Gaye, the Ookkie Skateboard was created with one goal in mind – to get children learning to skateboard earlier. As a skateboarder himself, Daniel wanted to teach his son how to ride a board safely whilst also developing fundamental balance, stability and confidence.
