Shred Sled® is a company that specializes in sports products for kids. They take having fun to a whole new level. We were sent Shred Sled® to try out recently and even I was excited! First of all it is made for ages 8 and up. This means adults too! It is an unique board that lets you combine the movements of skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding. I used to ride my uncle’s skateboard when I was little and even have the scraped up knees to prove it! I have bought “traditional” skateboards for my kids and they have fun with it. But once they tried the Shred Sled, they have made it clear they are not going back, lol. They like the Shred Sled for so many reasons.
It grabs your attention with it eye catching appearance. Instead of one long board, there are two oval shaped decks. The kids really liked that and jumped right on. I was a little more scared, but it feels ok. The way it is made, your feet fit on it comfortably. Our feet did not slide or anything while we were on it.
Since it does not have a rigid board, you have a lot more flexibility. It just cries out for you to try to do some tricks. Unless you are a mom of four who has not been on anything that looks like a skateboard in years, lol. Yeah I fell. A few times. But it is so fun!! You have to twist your helps and legs to get moving so you are getting some exercise using this. I was not sure how the kids would take to it sense you don’t have to push off with your foot. But they love it!
The Shred Sled has 4 inline polyurethane wheels and aluminum alloy casters. This helps it to be stable and easy to control. One of the first things TJ said was the ride was really smooth. Nannah thought it would much tougher to control it but she is now an expert!
The only complaint my family has about the Shred Sled is we need a few more. Everyone wants their own! It is really a big hit. The Shred Sled is fun, easy to control and has a smooth ride. Now we just have to learn some tricks. TJ and Kayla are already working on it. Over at the Shred Sled site they do have some videos of tricks to check out. I guess I officially have a house of Shred Heads now, lol.

Haha, I agree with needing a few more! We have one and no one can get enough of it!
I used to skateboard quite a bit in my youth. I’m no expert, but i think the movement required for the Shred Sled is the exact opposite kind of balance used for skateboarding. I don’t know if it would be a natural transition for me, could be great for my ten year old though.
