He'd probably say stunt scooters are a bit 2012.

My son has an MGP. So in the true spirit of STW, MGP is the bestest.

One of those jump bikes, with the tiny or no seats. Apparently that's what the cool kids have.

For £80 a Grit might be the best option .

I'll have to stop you right there...... a certain member of our household is of the opinion we already have too many bikes (more bikes than people = too many bikes, apparently!)

MGP is the correct answer.

Just buy the best one for the money.

They are not my favourite things though, after crashing while trying to ride my 10 year old nephew's scooter and hitting the stunt peg on a corner, Ending in a broken arm and now 16 weeks off my bike.

My 10 year old nephew (standing next to me) is telling me second hand MGP maddgear is the one to go for but MGP's are very heavy.
In Halfords today there was a 'JD Bug white stunt scooter' reduced from £100 to £50. Which would be good for a beginner.

All dictated by nephew who is 10 and in the know 🙂
