Not to sound too old, but times sure have changed. Roller skates turned into roller blades (and then lost steam) and skateboards gave way to scooters. There isn't a day that goes by in warm weather that I don't see a child out wheeling away on their scooter, zooming down the block or shooting off towards school.
But even traditional scooters can get a little... boring. You just put your foot on there and push off the ground, over and over, until reaching a decline for a little more action. So, if you're a kid and you want something a little more exciting, where do you go? To the company that specializes in extreme sports products for children, Shred Sled, and their new and amazing Shox Scooter.

Designed for ages 5 and up, Big Sister E was a little on the young side when it came to testing out the Shox Scooter. However, even though she wasn't able to do an "ollie" or spin a "180," that didn't stop her from wanting to take a leisurely ride down our sidewalk.

The textured surface on the grip deck (where you stand) makes it easier to have foot control and traction and I really liked the integrated wheel brake in the back that

Although it does have a weight limit of 50 kg (110 lbs), I did give this scooter a few test runs of my own (the handle is even adjustable as kids get taller!) and was impressed at just how durable and well-made it was. Only weighing 7 lbs, it still feels sturdy and handles solidly.
As well as being light enough to carry, the Shox Scooter also easily folds in half for great portability or storage.

(Other than the Shox Scooter that I was sent from Shred Sled in conjunction with my membership to Team Mom, I was not provided with anything or enticed to do this review in any way. This review is solely my opinion of this product.)
