I ordered this skateboard attachment so that I could have a cool skateboard experience while playing We Ski and Snowboard and the skateboarding part on Wii Fit. When I received it and used it my heart sank. While it had received good reviews (even though there were only two at the time) I found the board to lack the sensitivity that it described. In order to get my character to move effectively (or quickly from one side to the other) I had to practically fall off the board. It is also not a tight fit at all. The board doesn't fit the width of the Wii Board, so I can understand the lack of sensitivity issue. Therefore, Nintendo should come out with a skateboard attachment that fits the entire Wii Board, therefore effectively taking into account all areas of sensitivity. I would not recommend this board to anyone.

This is fun, but takes some getting used to. It goes from one technique to another rather fast, almost before you get one down at a time. Wish it did one skill at a time, before you jump into the next step. My grandchildren like it, but they had the same problem that I did.

Works as aniticipated. Used it on Wii Ski and Snowboard. It's incredibly responsive. Not disappointed. Would purchase again.

We purchased this product new for $40. It's a lot of fun when it works properly. It's designed to attach to the bottom of the Wii fit balance board but after about 10 minutes of play, it comes loose and begins to slide around. My son usually removes it and finished his game using only the balance board. I probably would not recommend this product to friends.Skateboard / Snowboard for the Wii Fit Balance Board

I bought this for my nephew. The bracket that attached to the balance board broke off on Christmas day. Now it is just useless junk. It was so disappointing. No one puts pride in what they produce any more. It is all about having it made cheap overseas (and who cares about the quality of what is produced).

While this is a very cool addition to our Wii accessories collection purchased for my son's 5th birthday, one of the clips (for lack of a better word) used to secure the board to the balance board is broken after only 2 days of normal use. The board is still functional, however when/if the 2nd attachment breaks it no longer would be. Very disappointed.

The kids love it! Works great with the Wii balance Board for anoboard and skateboard games! "Very cool looking" to my boys. Score :)! Good length. They love it.
You can't use it without the Wii balance Board.

I bought this after slecting the Tony Hawk Downhill Jam for my 6 year old. You should have seen his eyes light up and he called me the "coolest Mom ever". But, even though Amazon suggests that the board and the game be purchased together, the game doesn't recognize that the Wii Balance Board is available for use.

So, they don't work together and it was a waste of $$. Going to have to buy the Wii Skateboard/Snowboard game I guess.

Don't waste your money on this product. I ordered it for my grandson, and I can't get it to work. I have a game called Tony Hawk Shred. Game works with my Wii, but the skateboard will not work on my Wii fitness board. Any suggestions???

I bought this for my boys, age 15, to use with the Skate It game. They were not happy with it, I think mainly because they are skaters and this does not give the feel of real skating. They prefer to use the hand held controllers. I think we'll keep it for other games, like snowboarding.
