YAY, Ethan was sent a Shred Sled to review! So you may be asking “what is a Shred Sled?”. Well I hadn’t heard of it before but its sort of like an updated skateboard! Here is some info on it: With Shred Sled’s® new dual deck caster board you can easily start Shredding in no time! It consists of two boards, coupled with a flexible connector, which allows both boards to rotate around the vertical and horizontal axes. This 4-wheel, dual-deck concave board makes it smoother and easier to start carving up the streets. It’s fun and much easier to control than older 2-wheel generation boards. It’s also great for strengthening the legs and waist muscles. The SHRED SLED® is a fun way to exercise and gives you a feeling of carving like snowboarding and skateboarding. It’s easy to kick off and start getting speed. Its 4 wheels make it a much smoother ride. Plus, it’s much more durable because the decks are made of almost indestructible ABS material and the wheels last a long time. The decks have a great grip surface to allow for better control and traction.

Ethan will be 8 years old in Oct so he is on the young side for the Shred Sled but I like getting the kids things that they can grow into and use for years! I think he will get the hang of it soon and he really enjoys practicing with it. I was a little afraid that he would be discouraged by not mastering it immediately but he really is cute and excited every time he tries it. He has been a little cautious and like to use a wall for balance sometimes but he can get it going and go down our hallway pretty well (yes in the house, I am a nice mom sometimes but he uses it on the driveway too!). He seems to get better each time he uses it. So I am giving this a big thumbs up and I wish I had one as a kid! I wanted to put a picture of Ethan on the shred sled before I posted this review but I just keep forgetting to take a picture and I’ll have to add it later!

Here is Ethan’s take on it:

• “Its much easier to balance on it with 4 wheels than 2 wheels”   (we had gotten him a rip stick with 2 wheels for his 7th birthday and he has a hard time with it still)
• “I like that you can twist your hip and move it”
• “I like how you can bend the board”
• “this is not really an opinion but: skateboards drool”
• oh and he is happy that he got his favorite color blue! they come in red, blue and black
