Slalom cones. Self explanatory? Perhaps. Firstly, slalom. Probably one of the most natural things to try on a skateboard - once you can roll around and turn and lean, you're going to want to test those skills by wiggling round some obstacles. The trouble with obstacles is that they can sometimes be very heavy and knock you off your board. They can also sometimes move, bark, or say hurtful things. Don't listen to them. What you need is some slalom cones, because wiggling through cones is also some of the most fun you can have on a skateboard. These cones represent the international standard for slalom racing so you know they're the right stuff. 9" tall, 5.25" wide at the base, reinforced with vertical ribs and a base ring. Disadvantages of these cones versus beer cans: I was going to write here that they cost more. But honestly, these days that barely holds true. Advantages over using beer cans: Designed to be knocked away on impact - not get stuck under a wheel You will still be able to see straight by the time you've lined up 20 of them in the car park Nice and bright They look somewhat official so members of the public are at least 12% less likely to give you jip Many other uses such as: Makeshift megaphone Surfskate obstacles Party hat Juggling clubs Cereal bowl (keep one hand over the end) So there you have it. Available in packs of 1, 10 and 50. 10 will get you started but having 20 or more starts to properly open up the fun. Starting out on a relatively level, smooth path, place the cones 2m apart in a straight line... then get your wiggle on and enjoy. I guarantee you'll be hooked.
