I would not want to see a kid crash and burn on that thing...looks way more dangerous than the old pogo stick.</p> That must be some super deluxe non rotting wood.

It doesn't seem very maneuverable. I bought our sons one at at yard sale one time. It was a skateboard with tall handles. It didn't move too quickly nor make sharp curves very well. It only worked for them for awhile. Cindi</p> It looks dangerous to me! It doesn’t seem very maneuverable. I bought our sons one at at yard sale one time. It was a skateboard with tall handles.

I'm also quite cheap so maybe I'm not the best judge of "value for price". </p> It looks cool, but I wouldn’t pay $100 for it.

Cheers to my older brother for forking out for it as a present for my first born who outgrew it pretty quickly (since he was almost 5 when he got it 3 years ago) it is now being happily steered around by our 2.5 year old "little miss" -yes we use that term too and her stuffed friends.</p> I think it looks neat, but the Radio Flyer version that our kids have is IMHO a lot sweeter looking and still has that “vintage” feel to it.

I can see it in a loft or guest room next to an old baseball glove and one of those leather football helmets. </p> It seems like an art piece more than a toy; an attempt at nostalgic youth.

I too would be tempted to make this rather then buy it because at least then it would be an unwieldy unsafe looking toy that I made.</p> <p>I must say that the sleds made by that company look AWESOME! I think one may make it's way to our house this winter... </p> Normally I have a weakness for wooden things and nostalgia but this looks pretty unwieldy.

I must say that the sleds made by that company look AWESOME! I think one may make it’s way to our house this winter…

Actually, around here it would end up being a great hit; I think we just might do it…
