I don't know where you live, but if you have a Hado arena nearby, then a taster session might be a good gift. It's an augmented reality sport which can be played casually or professionally. There are arenas all over the world.
Unfortunately their world site is a little out of date. I know quite a few kids in my area of the UK, at around that age, who are getting into it.
I’m in Portugal but if there were similar events in my area that would be a great gift
What’s your budget? I’ve been looking into ropes course kinds of things for my kids, basically slack lines that you can add stuff to. I think if you search for ninja line you’ll get hits.
30€ around that for budget. Definitely gonna search ninja lines, thanks for the hint.
Mother. Fuckin. Rollerblades.
He’s into skate now, but yeah, that crossed my mind, except to give him something decent would go over budget. Trying to keep it 30€ tops But thanks 🙏
Does he have a skateboard? If so, maybe some cool wheels or bearings? Figure out what kinda wheels he uses first though. There are different types that are good for different situations.
Edit: I'm not super into skateboarding, but if I'm not mistaken, Bones bearings are generally seen as some of the best you can get.
Gave him a skateboard a couple of years ago. He’s still trying to do the basic moves but he loves it. Doesn’t need new wheels yet 😅

naaw rollerblades are too easy. get him some quads. chicks dig the quads
Well he’s still in the phase that girls are gross, but soon when the hormones kick in that may be a great idea. Saving it for next xmas or two
I just grabbed a random example from Amazon but how about these split skateboard things called free skates? I have limited mobility at the moment but I’d try them out myself if I could!
That’s great, 10yo me would have loved that. But he already has some of that stuff and he’s focused on skate as fas as rolling things go. But I love the idea!
jump boxes
Gonna have to google that. Anything like a trampoline? Cause he has that already, the cheap small variety

Tickets to X Games?
He would love that, unfortunately we’re an ocean away .But you gave me a great idea, offer an experience instead of a thing!
Time and experience over things.
a slingshot
We made a slingshot from scratch using the old ways when he was like 5. But yes, a good idea, although parents might not agree. But I’m the cool crazy uncle :)
