I have long searched the Internet and read hundreds of opinions. My daughter (9) is more of a Grobmotoriker, but has a board desperately desired. Fortunately, I have decided to buy her this board although inline, skates, scooters etc collect dust in the corner. The first consideration it has indeed enjoyed, but scolded that the board is not flexible because no bar in the middle. But curiosity was greater. I had her serve as a starting aid only half an hour. It has set itself otherwise self-taught and now moves out, rather than sit in the booth at last. She is happy and content. She finds this continuous Board even to drive more pleasant and easier, as the board of her friend (with bar). All doubts have vanished, and I would buy this board again.
