Great Board.:
Purchased this as a gift for my 12 year old son. The board is very well made and sturdy. He has really enjoyed riding it and it has a big initial WOW factor. However, the wheels on this board are the weak link in my opinion. They do not spin anywhere near as well as decent skateboard wheels. Adding oil helped some but I would say this board is definitely NOT for flat terrain. On small hills the rolling resistance of the wheels kills your momentum quickly. Long, steep hills are where the board really shines. Due to the number of wheels (12) maybe the manufacturer could put higher quality wheels on the board without driving the price too high. Bottom line. If you live in a hilly area or plan to use this at a skatepark, this is a great board. Otherwise, it might not be worth the $$$.

very fun for my son:
My son saw this board in his discovery magazine and wanted it so bad. I was thinking about getting him a "ripstick", but was afraid that they would be too dangerous. He and his friends love this board, it's safer and he thinks it will teach him how to snowboard and surf. Thanks for a great product.

The Flowboard takes a few times to get it right due to the differences in the wheels - but my 11 year old son has enjoyed learning to ride this cool new skateboard.
