Get Outdoors The Trickstartr Scooter Skater Fun & Tricks Giveaway

May 12, 2014 by Momstart 61 Comments

Get outdoors, get your kids outdoors and have fun doing it. It looks like the weather is going to be nice this summer, maybe even borderline crazy hot. We’ve already had more sunshine than I feel I’ve seen in the 10 years that I’ve lived here. I mean that’s hard to say for sure because I have kids now and am outdoors with them, when in the past I was working or watching TV. Well, either way, we’re going to take advantage of the beautiful weather and hit the parks and trails and while the kids ride their bikes I’m going to make them share the Trickstartr Scooter because it can hold my weight and it looks like a lot of fun.

We got the Trickstartr from Yvolution, an active lifestyle company dedicated to making fun, innovative, high-quality and safe wheeled products for the entire family that has started a “Yvolution” in scooting with its innovative designs.

 

This year, Yvolution is introducing the EXY Trickstartr, an entry-level stunt scooter with an innovative wheelie system (more detailed information below). It’s part of their new EXY line of Extreme Yvolution products – an aspirational brand for kids who are bound for the skate park. I love it so much because it’s encouraging smiles and fun outdoors.

The Trickstartr scooter was extremely easy to put together.

Here are a few simple steps to get you rolling.

· Push off and place one foot on the Tilt Bar and the other on the Deck.

· Lean back until the Tilt Bar catches you, to practice finding your balance point. The first few times you’ll be a bit sketchy, rocking back and forth but keep at it. WP_20140501_08_03_12_Pro

· Once you’ve found your balance point, balance yourself with both feet on the Tilt Bar.

There are 4 riding styles with Trickstartr. The first one you’ve already mastered! (One foot on Tilt Bar, one foot on Deck) Ready to step it up?

· Second Riding Style – Place both feet on the Tilt Bar. Lean back and find that balance point.

· Third Riding Style – This one gets harder. Place only one foot on the Tilt bar, while holding your other foot slightly to the side.

· Are you ready to be a Pro? For the Fourth and most difficult style, ride with one foot on the edge of the Tilt Bar, while holding the other leg out. Once that is mastered, practice jumping from the edge of the Tilt Bar to the Deck, when you need to give yourself a push.

EXY Trickstartr is a stunt scooter for beginner riders who want to learn how to master basic tricks. It features a slick matte black/vibrant color design and comes with a special patent-pending device that allows riders to do a manual (wheelie). Trickstartr offers kids four ways to ride: 1) The Easy Way, 2) The Hard Way, 3) The Expert Way, and 4) The Pro Way. Once the stunt is mastered, the detachable device can be removed to improve speed and agility. Ages 5+ (max weight 220 lbs). Available in green or purple.  MSRP: $79.99.  Available exclusively at Toys“R”Us stores nationwide and online at www.Toysrus.com/Yvolution.

Radio Flyer GrooveGlider The Rockin Scooter

August 21, 2012 by Momstart 409 Comments

Zoe’s new musical scooter is out of this world.  She has been sharing with everyone that she has a Radio Flyer scooter that ROCKS and she means it makes you want to dance and giggle as you scoot yourself down the street.

IMG_5159

Radio Flyer, the famous maker of the little red wagon, wants to help your kids roll back to school in style with two fun new scooters. The new Radio Flyer GrooveGlider (with built in MP3 speakers to rock and roll at the same time) and Shockwave (FLEXDECK technology for bigger jumps) scooters are designed for girls and boys ages 5+ with the latest bells and whistles they want most.  

IMG_5157

Assembly is pretty easy, it took me maybe 15 minutes to put it together. Everything I needed to put the scooter together was provided. The speaker system that you see above did not come with batteries ore a media player. Zoe has a little player that we use every night to play her white noise to help her sleep. It fits very nicely in side the speaker holder, as there is a pocket and a chord to plug in your chosen media player. Times have changed, I remember rolling on my roller blades with headphones and my chunky CD player trying not to fall or drop it as I listened to my music. Now kids can play music for the entire neighborhood from their scooter.

She loves how girly the scooter looks and feels. The adjustable handle bars are at the perfect height for her right now and can go higher when she grows taller. She’s so excited to be able to move to a larger scooter.

Further Details about the Radio Flyer Scooters:

GrooveGlider Scooter– 5 years +

$49.99 on RadioFlyer.com

· The GrooveGlider is a first of its kind… giving girls a scooter that speaks to their top 3 interests – music, socializing and riding through the neighborhood

· The MP3 storage case projects great sound and is weather resistant, even durable enough to handle the inevitable scooter drop

Shockwave Scooter – 5 years +

$49.99 on RadioFlyer.com
