Keep him rigid on 24 I reckon, lighter and won’t do his skill any harm.

If you fancy building him a 26 with bounce as a project ready for when he is?
I’ve got a Norco 4X frame with Fox Float rear shock you can have as a freebie. I’d just like to see it go somewhere where it’ll get used.
Same as this (google image)

Any recommendations for a 24" wheel MTB for an 8-year old? He rides a rigid Pinnacle right now but is getting good and I'd like to get him something which can handle rougher trails.
I spotted a few options and the frontrunner looks like the Saracan Mantra 2.4 for value but any ideas welcome.
Or am I wrong and he should keep learning on a rigid bike? Or should I wait and get a 26" wheel when he's a touch bigger?!
