The lifespan of a skateboard depends on a lot of factors. The first being the quality of the skateboard. The higher the quality of the skateboard you buy, the durable it is. Another factor is the frequency of use, crashes, accidents, and maintenance activities. If the skateboard experiences much wear and tear, it will surely get damaged quickly. A lifespan of 6 months to a year is a good start point for kids’ skateboard considering how kids handle things.
