The Shred Sled!

My kids were given the opportunity to try out the next-generation caster board through Team Mom and Shred Sled. Shred Sled is a 4-wheel inline, dual deck board. There is a flexible connector between the two decks that rotate vertically and horizontally for easier movements.

When you use this board you don't stand on one leg and push with the other, you need to use your hips, legs and arms to get the board moving. (great exercise!) The movements are a combination of snowboarding, surfing and skateboarding all in one. I love that the decks have a grip surface so it is hard to slip off, plus the decks are slightly concave for better foot control.

The wheels, which only move forward, are made of polyurethane ABEC-5 bearings, which are smoother and stronger than standard hardware, and rarely need to be replaced. The casters are made from aluminum, and are not prone to rusting like many boards' metal casters.

What did my kids think of the Shred Sled? Judging from the tracks being worn into my wood floors as the kids ride circles around my house, I am going to say that they LOVE it! And they concur. Cody gives it two thumbs up! Devon doesn't think it is very practical, as in using as a method to get somewhere, but he does enjoy riding it for fun.

It took all of them a couple of days to really be able to get up and get some good balance and to be able to propel for a good distance. They needed to hold onto something to be able to get on both decks. But now they can get on with relative ease. Cody is even riding it UP HILL!

The board is being used every day by at least 3 of the kids. They really enjoy it. In fact, they have decided my rugs all need to be moved out of THEIR way so they can just ride around my house.

The Shred Sled is available at retailers and online at Shredsled.com for around $59.99 and comes in three colors: red, blue and black. Remember to wear safety gear when riding the board!

Thank you, Team Mom and thank you Shred Sled, for this review opportunity! My kids are very pleased!
