Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Tech Decks are miniature-scale skateboards that bring the thrill of skateboarding to children's desks. With their rolling wheels, authentic grip tape and die-cast metal trucks, Tech Decks allow kids to perform real skateboard tricks using their fingers. Designed for kids ages nine and older, this particular Tech Deck set includes four fingerboards with graphics from renowned skateboard company Plan B. It also comes with a replica grind rail for you to perform tricks on.

Build a Park with Plan B Ages: 9+

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: The Good: Mini-skateboards allow you to perform skateboard tricks with just your fingers. The Challenging: Tricks are difficult to learn and take practice, small parts easy to lose. In a Nutshell: More than just replicas, these addictive fingerboards will have you performing finger-twisting tricks for hours.

Built for Extreme Riding
Tech Decks are designed to imitate real skateboards to the finest detail. At 96 millimeters in length, a Tech Deck is approximately one-eighth the length of an average skateboard. Its hard-plastic deck is constructed to take even the roughest riding, and features actual grip tape on top. The decks also feature stylish graphics from Plan B, one of the premier skateboard companies today.

The fingerboards also come with a small socket-wrench/screwdriver multi-tool, which allows you to modify the fingerboards much like you would a real skateboard. Loosening the kingpin, for instance, will make the skateboard more sensitive to turning. The wheels are removable, and can be loosened to make the board go faster. Just make sure to keep track of all the parts when you're modifying your fingerboard -- they're small and easy to lose.

The four fingerboards also come with a miniature grind rail where you can test all of your tricks. It includes eight risers, which you can use to elevate the height of the grind rail for even more daring stunts. Combine it with other Tech Deck props to build your very own skate park.

Real-world Tricks on a Small Scale
Tech Decks are more than just simple replicas: they are real, working extreme sports vehicles. With practice and a bit of fleet finger work, you can perform real skateboard tricks with your Tech Deck. We found several videos on the Tech Deck official Web site demonstrating how to perform these tricks, which range from simple "ollies" to 360-degree flips. Some skateboarders even use Tech Decks as visual models to help them envision potential tricks. Learn and master classic tricks, or invent your own.

What's in the Box
4 Tech Deck fingerboards, multi-tool, 8 risers, and Build-a-Park Grind Rail.

This Tech Deck set comes with four Plan B fingerboards and a grind rail for you to practice your tricks on. View larger.

From the Manufacturer

Feel like a pro on tour with four complete boards to choose from. Each one comes complete with real skateboard parts including metal trucks, grip tape and real skate company graphics. Not only that, but you get a tool and riser pads. With a variety of designs, you'll want to collect more than four.

My 6 year old son loves to skateboard and ride bmx bikes. I was quite surprised that he can take the mini wheels off the skateboards with the little screwdriver and put another set on. The ramp is very durable. He takes it apart and puts it back together with ease. He even takes it with him in the bathtub. I would highly recommend this toy.

This review is from: Tech Deck Build a Park with Plan B Board Pack (Toy)

My 7 year old daughter loves outdoor sports but gets very frustrated when she's stuck indoors through the snowy Winter months. This ended up being a good compromise. Funnily enough, she ends up using it with other toys such as dinosaurs, barbies, and Winx fairies.

The one caveat is that the pieces are small. I ended up having her keep these in a zip lock baggie to keep them from underfoot.

My boys seem to like this deck, but it comes with only one and is a little on the small side (especially for the price).
