When I first got them, they arrived sooner than usual, and they work amazingly for new beginners to learn tricks and get used to the movement! highly recommend!

They look flimsy but are actually quite tough.They really help with practice.

perfect to help learn ollies, easy to use

My daughter has been skating for over a year but these are still a great tool to help her practice and advance.

Oh my lord! What a great idea and item! I saw my friends son always trying to complete tricks on his skateboard unsuccessfully as the board would dangerously roll away. This absolutely fixed that problem!He didn’t even wait for the end of Christmas gift giving before he ran out of the house and grabbed his board. They do require an adult to assist getting them on but totally worth it!!Terrific idea and very well made!

On cold or wet days, it is great to practice inside. Helps build confidence in your skills and tricks.

Mi hijo encantado y practicando todo el rato

Updated review: These sound great for uninitiated, the first first timer, the skater not ready for any tricks. Tricks as in the most basic shuvs and ollies. I would not even recommend these for ollies or shuvits. You can use it for that but I would not recommend it and here's why. I'm just over two years in now and due to old age (late 30s), Knee problems, and injuries I've mostly two years literally on basic foundation and riding. Very little jumping or high risk stuff. High risk as in anything more than a one stair or any drop over 6 inches.When I tried these early on I thought they helped. In reality they only hold you back especially for tricks. Any tricks really. The reason is because generally skateboard tricks are going to require some forward or backwards momentum. Learning stuff stationary is really going to hinder your feeling of balancing while moving, adjusting to wheels sliding, and a bunch of other variables that you cannot replicate unless you are moving. You are much better off practicing tricks moving slowly vs stationary. The feeling of balance and coordinating your body to respond reflexively is not acquired or confuses you when you practice stationary then try while moving. It's very counter productive.The best advise I wish I had followed earlier but caught on in time was to just ride, ride a lot, and ride everywhere. Foundation above all else if your struggling. This means cruising, all variations of kick turns, variations of reverts, riding flat, banks, transition, narrow spaces, going over coping, learning variations of stopping/slowing, and gradually try and do it as fast as you can.The more comfortable you are going fast and being able to maintain balance will help you WAY more than what these can do for you. The skaters I come across especially the novice, will act and look comfortable cruising and going even somewhat fast, but soon as they hit a high bank or transition it all goes to hell. I commonly get asked to play skate, how long I've skated, to try tricks I am not even remotely close to being ready for, simply because I'm at a point where my cruising around the park and navigating 85% of it with ease going up and down banks and transitions between 2-4ft high gives the impression that I'm good. Soon as they find out I'm still working on consistent ollies I'm met with shock and maybe even some disappointment. Thats okay though, everyone learns at their own pace which is why I love skating so much.What I would recommend this for is, the first time someone steps on the board or early enough where your too scare to even push. These can be very good for getting over the initial fear, even cheaper is just doing it in grass. If the fear is still bad I suppose transition from grass to a hard concrete asphalt surface using these. At some point you or the person using them will get soo bored you'll want to try and push and move around. By that point these will be completely useless.With that this review is high marks for cost, quality, and for what it does. Which is keeps your board still on any surface. For skill learning id give it a 2 star since it's something you'll move on from quickly. I've only taken them out two times at the park. Since then they stay in my tool kit as a token momento.Original review: These are straight up getting five stars. They arent a solve every trick type of a crutch but man forget grass, carpet, etc. Get these, i only used twice so far doing an ollie and shuv it. I literally felt 100x more confident in performing both tricks without worrying i would land wround the board slipping out. Im blown away.These will be great for me to perfect my footing and stance on the basic tricks before going into the more advance stuff.The rubber feels great and seems like would last long if you practice on flat clean surfaces. Id imagine theyll take more damage and break quicker if performing on asphalt or jagged flooring.

dit helpt echt om vertrouwen op te bouwen om tricks uit te landen

I bought these for my son and I (learning to skate at 44). So far we have used them on our boards with different sized wheels and they are an excellent buy to help with learning to ollie, so that you feel more stable and giving you confidence that the board will not fly out from underneath you. I have progressed very quickly off of the skater trainers to be able to now practice with out them and I am going okay so far. Great to come back to as needed to refresh and perfect tricks safely. Delivery of product was as quick as expected during the Christmas rush period and I am really happy I invested in these for my son and I. My son has picked it up faster than me, but who said you can't teach and old dog new tricks!

So I saw about 100 YouTube ads (and Braille Skateboarding's YouTube video) about these things, so with some of my Christmas money, I thought "what the heck... I'm still learning, so these should help". Turns out I was very right! These have immediately improved my tricks and I've almost been able to shuv right after just learning how to ollie! These will immediately improve your ability to do tricks and also these help you from falling over. and over. and OVER, so you can also protect yourself and your dignity. These things are durable and they look sweet on my board. They do say in all of the promo stuff "You don't land back in the crack and you don't get pop on grass or carpet", which I was a little skeptical about until I got these and realized they're 100% right. [also you can practice manny balance in your house! :)The only downsides I have with it aren't too bad at all, only two minor issues, which are:1. The things are SO DANG HARD to get on the wheels at first, but with practice it's super easy. (Some people get these on PENNY WHEELS o_0 I don't know how though.)2. The trainers constantly need to be adjusted (after each trick) to optimize the steadiness of the board. Often you can land on one of the corners of the trainers, or they move back and forth, which is a thing you have to fix (it takes like two seconds so it's not a problem at all)I have seen some people worried these do damage to the bearings, don't worry broskis, these are aight for your bearings. ;)I don't often give things a five-star but these things are legit! Definitely worth the buy, and they come with a skater trainer logo sticker, so that's sweet! Don't let the look compared to the price fool you, these are the original and they're extremely durable!

They stop the skateboard from rolling, so they work as advertised. Flip tricks and ollies do feel very different with these on. Once you finally learn to land a trick with these, you have to retrain your muscle memory for the board without them on. So, in that respect, it could potentially take you longer to learn the trick completely. You might feel more confident a little sooner, though. I would say they are best for people learning ollies and shuvits for the first time, or trying a trick fakie or switch, since you're probably more nervous or worried about landing wrong in those stances. Doesn't prevent primo (obviously) but, hey, skateboarding is all about kissing the concrete and trying again anyway!

Consiglio a tutti i neofiti dello skate questo accessorio, può sembrare poco utile ma aiuta tantissimo a prendere consapevolezza dei movimenti.. L'ho fatto provare ad un amico che non è mai salito su uno skate in vita:shove it imparato in 15min e ollie in 40 min!!!!
