I watched it on youtube and it looked very dangerous to me. My boys are now in their 30's and I would not have bought this for them.
I googled to see what it looked like. I haven't seen any around yet. A lot of the boys at my girls school have 'rocket boards' I think they are called, looked similar to the pics of the eaglider but is more like a skateboard that twists in the middle. The kids seem to love these - once they get the hang of staying on they can go quite quickly. This is from watching the boys at school - I have girls who have only tentatively tried a normal skateboard and haven't got the hang of rollerskates yet!
I would love to help you, but I don't even know what that is. I see you have some answers, I hope others have helped you!!! Hugs, Judy
Thank you for this question,I have never seen one of these before, my grandson loves any thing on wheels so i now know what to buy him for his birthday next month, LOL, sorry i can't help you with your question but they look like they would be fun.
Well thanks to your question I now know what a eaglider is. The bad news is I cannot help you but will see if I can find out
I have seen kids riding them, some do it quite well and I have seen kids fall off alot. My kids are in their 20's so they are not interested. I would have to say your decision should be based on your kids and a few simple questions about them.
1. Would they take the time to learn it or would it be relagated to the back corner in a week?
2. Are they old enough for it?
3. Would they do chores to earn part of the money for it?
I found when my kids wanted a fad item if I made them earn half the money they either really wanted it and used it or they changed their mind in a big hurry. I also found when they had to work for it they were proud of themselves.
Hope this helps,
Beth
