I'm amazed that kids have the ability to use these boards. They are much more agile than regular skateboards. Because of the way the board is built, there is no need to propel it with your foot. It is great exercise, and promotes outside activity. Riders can make quick turns in every direction, and propel the board with rapid leg and foot movement without coming off the board. Absolutely a great innovation and upgrade to skate boarding. Great affordable gift for the holidays!!!
