Product Description

Editorial Review

This radio-controlled stunt boarder is so realistic, Tony Hawk--extreme boarder extraordinaire--endorsed it with his signature and likeness. As far as toys go, it totally lives up to his name. Properly operated, it'll perform megastunts (like tic-tacs) and tricks that real boarders like Hawk have perfected. At the controls, you determine how the body and the board move. The body leans into turns (and stays on) thanks to seven-position steering and variable speed capabilities. Recovery from deep curves is unbelievable for a toy, but this thing does it. The only bummer: the set requires the FlexPak Power System--a rechargeable battery pack, plus a 9-volt battery--to get rolling. It's not included. --Diane Beall

Finding a fun toy that doesn't require selling off some of your stocks and bonds for a toy challenging enough for a child to enjoy is rather daunting in these days of electronics and robotic high tech wonders.

The Tony Hawk Skateboard is amazingly easy to operate for the young person (8 + yrs. old) in the family. The radio controlled board gives them the impression THEY are actually in charge...which of course, they are. If the board flips over...no problem; it'll pop right back up! It seems to be very sturdy and I can't see interest dropping by the wayside as quickly as with most toys in this price bracket. Only complaint I had when I purchased this was having to buy the battery pack & charger separately (and not cheap) or there would be no playing. Otherwise, it's an excellent way to go for the young person that wants a small taste of extreme sports when mom says "NO!" to the real stuff.

I think this toy is well worth the money and at this price even a child could afford with allowance.I think it is great how it pushs itself back up unlike other toys like miny extream motor cycle.I love the flex pack it makes it possible to spend more time playing with it and less time charging the pack or buying new batteries.I think this is a great toy for a o.k price.

I bought this for my nephew and he loves it. I bought it after Christmas so it was on sale. I, like everyone else was disappointed to have to buy the battery pack seperately but I found it brand new on ebay for $10.00 so I was thrilled. I recommend it!
