Giveaway! Whiplash Scooter by Street Surfing

by Bay on June 11, 2010

I’m excited to host a fun giveaway just in time for summer!

A few weeks ago, I went to a summer toy showcase event, and got to check out the latest in summer toys, all the way from sidewalk chalk and bubbles to electronics and scooters.  The scooter wasn’t your old school “one-leg-hanging-off-the-side-to-propel” type though, this is the new Whiplash scooter by Street Surfing.

Street Surfing is the maker of the popular Wave Board, which is a caster board (instead of skate board wheels, the Wave has casters that allow for more fluid, back-and-forth movement).  I live in a more urban neighborhood, with tons of kids, so I see Wave Boards around town all the time.  So at the showcase when I saw the professional Wave Board rider (did you know they have street teams and professional competitions?) I just had to see what was new.

The new Whiplash Scooter is a hybrid scooter and caster board; there’s the traditional handle bar scooter aspect along with a back caster wheel that spins 360 degrees and the Wave technology that lets kids kids have that cool drifting & carving action.  Another advantage over the traditional scooter?  This one self-propels so feet never have to touch the ground!

I have a soft-spot in my heart for scooters…you may have heard me say it here before, but I don’t know how to ride a bike (I know, I know), so growing up I was huge scooter fan.  Whether it is Wave boards, scooters, bikes, etc. we all know the importance of kids getting active and playing outside.  I love how the Whiplash scooter gives the younger kids (starting at about age 7) the same exciting Wave action, with the extra stability of a scooter.

Ready to win? Just post a comment to enter. I’d love to hear if you’ve seen/heard of the Wave or the new Whiplash scooter yet.
