I have a Shredder. His name is Johnny and he’s 9 years old. He was hooked the moment he saw the Shred Sled website. So, what exactly is it? Designed with wheels like in-line skates, it’s a skateboard that makes you feel like you are skating, surfing and snowboarding all at the same time! With Shred Sled’s new dual deck caster board you can easily start Shredding in no time! Here’s how it works,
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 carve board makes it SMOOTHER and EASIER to start carving up the streets. Its 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.
Its easy to kick off and start getting speed. Its 4 wheels make it a much smoother ride. Plus, its 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.
- As a beginner, it will be helpful to start riding the board using a wall as a support.
- Lay the Shred Sled down beside and parallel to the wall.
- Put your foot (left or right depending on your preference) right center of the sand paper on the fore plate perpendicular to the board direction, and then put the other foot on the rear plate in similar location and direction.
- Balancing your body (with two hands on the wall), make the board flat so that the board is standing on two wheels and the sides of the board are not touching the ground.
- Once the board is moving, twist your hip and both legs to create forward movement.
- When you get used to the movement of body to propel the board, you may try the turns and other interesting tricks.
My mom was a bit nervous about Johnny having the Shred Sled. Let’s just say that I haven’t had the best of luck with any kind of skateboard (long story and missing tooth) and she was worried that Johnny (he’s not the most coordinated kid!) would fall and really hurt himself. Not the case at all! The first night he needed help. He’s hold onto my arm and push off. Now…he’s a pro! Well, maybe not a pro, but he’s darn good. Check it out…
