Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have no quarrel with the construction and durability of this ramp - as well I shouldn't, at the price. It's well built, looks nice, and functions pretty well as advertised. I wish the skateboards would hop off the end of the ramp better, but that's probably more a function of the individual skateboards' wheels; I'll try giving them a squirt of graphite powder someday.
The biggest problem is that a toy like this rapidly loses its appeal, and it really has not held my son's interest - even though he was absolutely clamoring for it for Christmas, based no doubt on heavy TV advertising. I wish the Tech Deck people well, but face it: there's only so much you can do with a miniature skateboard and a ramp.
I kind of wish I'd considered making my son's desire for the ramp a "teachable moment": "OK son, you want a ramp, and this one costs $50. How about you and I see if we can build something just like it ourselves, out of scrap wood and plastic and such, and we'll take that $50 and (invest it/save it/spend it on something else)?" But I'm sure my son would have regarded me as a horrible, terrible, no-fun-at-all dad and Scrooge II if I'd pulled a stunt like that.
