Who of you knows the eaglider? It is something like a waveboard and in Germany still fairly unknown. Can any of you tell me if the eaglider is good? On the Internet I find either a great or very bad. What now? Good or bad? Please help me. Because it is quite expensive in Germany. And if it is bad, I can save my money :)

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 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
