My family tried Tech deck's Sk8 shop Halfpipe and my eight and ten year old both thought it was interesting. The halfpipe is made entirely of plastic but is pretty sturdy once it is assembled. While the assembly instructions could use some improvement, once you get the hang of it, the toy assembles easily. While neither of my kids could do any of the tricks you see others performing with other Tech Deck toys they enjoyed trying. Both loved the little skateboard, it was a hit! They also found the halfpipe easier to play with when they separated the two halves, but that might change with practice. On the whole it is a fun toy for any child interested in skateboards and tricks.

Skateboarding kids with a great imagination will love this the toy. It requires a bit of assembly but that is half the fun of anticipation. The set comes with a mini skateboard, parts to make a half-pike track and stickers to personalize the whole set-up. There are add on sets you can purchase to build and make the skateboarding track even more adventurous and lets the imagination play even more. The only thing I think is that this toy will not appeal to a broad range of kids as it is strickly about skateboarding and there is only one way to assemble it so that does limit creativity a little in my mind. Skate-kids can play with this indoors when the weather outside is not good so they can still have fun with their skateboarding.

This is really an awesome toy for my kid at 8 years old. The whole set is easy to assemble. My kid enjoys the assemble processing just somewhat like legos. He had hours of fun while playing it alone and speically with his freinds. Now he is requesting to buy different collectible fingerboards cause his is a skate-lovers. I am so happy to get him something that takes him off from electronic games.
