I am thinking of getting a skateboard for my 8 year old boy. The ones at ToysRus look like cheap crap so thinking to order something online. Anyone have any tips about brands or size of deck and wheels for a beginner?

Don't mean to intrude, but does your kid hang out with skaters already? If not, I'd encourage him to find another hobby. Every skater I knew when I was young was a fairly heavy drug user... I don't mean they did hard drugs, though some messed with acid and shrooms, but they were big weed/hash smokers... Most kids do some drugs occasionally these days, but I mean above and beyond that... Not saying your kid is predestined for that but skaters in general aren't exactly good influences...
