What makes Neuro decks different from skateboards on Amazon?
Skateboards from Amazon in the $30 to $50 range are made with cheap materials. Soft wood that delaminates quickly, low-quality trucks that don't turn well, and bearings that seize up fast. A Neuro deck is 7-ply US Hard Rock Maple, FSC Certified, built by an experienced North American woodshop. The result is a board that rides better, lasts longer, and actually teaches your child to skate instead of fighting against them.
Where does the 20% of profits go?
We support organizations that provide skateboarding programs, therapy, and services to kids with developmental disabilities. Our current partner is Sk8 Haven, a Long Beach-based nonprofit that runs autism-friendly skate lessons and community events for kids on the spectrum. We are committed to naming our partners, showing our receipts, and being transparent about where the money goes.
Is skateboarding good for kids with autism or ADHD?
Yes, and not just anecdotally. Skateboarding provides vestibular stimulation (the rocking and balancing motion), proprioceptive input (feeling where your body is in space), and the kind of focused, repetitive physical activity that many neurodivergent kids naturally seek out. It also develops balance, coordination, and motor planning. Organizations like Sk8 Haven have been running skateboarding programs for kids with autism for years and consistently report improvements in focus, confidence, and social engagement. Skateboarding has even been used as a component of occupational therapy in some settings.
What size deck should I get for my child?
Match your child's shoe size first. That is more reliable than age alone. The Genesis deck comes in 7.5", 7.75", and 8.0" widths. See the size chart on this page. When in doubt, go wider. A wider deck is more stable and forgiving for beginners.
Does this deck come with trucks, wheels, and grip tape?
No. This is a deck-only SKU and ships without grip tape or any other components. If you want everything in one box, check out the Brain Love Genesis Complete, which ships fully assembled and ready to ride.
What is your return policy?
We accept returns within 30 days. Return shipping is free. A 10% restocking fee applies. Deck-only SKUs ship without grip tape and are fully returnable within the window.
