Skater Trainers - Learn Tricks Faster with These Skateboard Accessories. Ollies, Kickflips, and More

My Grandson loved them as his Easter present. Quote "much better than an egg".

These are £20... but rather intricate and clearly well thought out and very strong. They work a treat to keep the skateboard steady whilst you or (in my case) your son/daughter practice their skills outside on concrete, or in front of you in the lounge on a piece of hardboard without fear of the skateboard going into you/your TV! If you search for Skateboard tricks/tips online, most of the pro skateboarders seem to recommend them whilst you practice your "Ollie" or other such tricks. Do note though as one YouTuber stated - and I'm trying to get across to my 12 year old! - these tricks can take 6 months to learn or more! Keep persevering and these are clearly the tool you need to do that. Recommended.

They work great and are strong. Wish they weren't as pricey but I suppose cheap rip offs would disintegrate in this application.

The media could not be loaded.  These skate trainers are very handy, By all means they should not be used permanently only as a tool to get your foot work etc down, Now...I have no skated for 18 years and i decided i wanted to learn how to do some proper tricks as i never had the balls to when i was younger, Im older now maybe a little wiser but also more aware of falling and hurting myself lol So i picked up these after watching a Brailley video just so i could get used to the footing and build my confidence and to be honest after 2-3 days of using i already started feeling more confident. I plan to keep using these just to help me get my footing and placement etc down.I highly recommend these if you are lacking the confidence you need to start doing tricks etc, These will help you get to know your board and balance on a board.Sure they maybe a little pricey but with the usage and confidence these will help you build they are so worth it.

Really useful gift will get a lot of use

It would be unfair to say that it's not a good product for stationary air tricks, as it is pretty good. However anything which involves some dragging of the wheels, like shuvits, it's not good at all unfortunately. The rubber compound is very grippy, no matter what surface you use it on. We tried concrete, road and wood and on all surfaces you literally can't budge the board. I'm sure the rubber has been chosen to be flexible enough for bigger wheels but I think it should be harder and less tacky, it would still be stable if it was like that.As we purchased to get used to shuvits, have had to send back for a refund.

The media could not be loaded.  recommended by Braille Skateboarding, I hunted down a set of these. I recently bought a Landyachtz Dinghy, a little cruiser for dashing about, errand runs, city commuting and packing in my suitcase when working away. To get maximum use and pleasure I want to be able to hop on and off curbs. Yes folks that means I gotta ollie..skater trainers keep the board rock solid while keeping it on concrete for proper pop. the board won't roll as you set up or as you attempt to land so you can go for it 100% with virtually no fear, brilliant for confidence building.The photo is there to show you the adaptability of the skater trainers - I'm using them over 63mm Fatty Hawgs and as you see the fit is snug but doable. It's a couple of mins to get on and same to get off again so compared with the time it is likely to take to nail the ollie it's a snip. I've had them 2 days and already feel I'm progressing. Buy some, practice hard, practise well and don't forget to tale them off and go ride!

The product was as expected but the packaging was not. It just came in a clear packaging which was very unappealing as it was a gift.

These are awesome for practise during the winter months at home. They need to be used on a carpet that’s plush enough (basement) and not on a floor or an area rug. We also tried them in the grass which was great to practise before the pavement!

Updated review: These sound great for uninitiated, the first first timer, the skater not ready for any tricks. Tricks as in the most basic shuvs and ollies. I would not even recommend these for ollies or shuvits. You can use it for that but I would not recommend it and here's why. I'm just over two years in now and due to old age (late 30s), Knee problems, and injuries I've mostly two years literally on basic foundation and riding. Very little jumping or high risk stuff. High risk as in anything more than a one stair or any drop over 6 inches.When I tried these early on I thought they helped. In reality they only hold you back especially for tricks. Any tricks really. The reason is because generally skateboard tricks are going to require some forward or backwards momentum. Learning stuff stationary is really going to hinder your feeling of balancing while moving, adjusting to wheels sliding, and a bunch of other variables that you cannot replicate unless you are moving. You are much better off practicing tricks moving slowly vs stationary. The feeling of balance and coordinating your body to respond reflexively is not acquired or confuses you when you practice stationary then try while moving. It's very counter productive.The best advise I wish I had followed earlier but caught on in time was to just ride, ride a lot, and ride everywhere. Foundation above all else if your struggling. This means cruising, all variations of kick turns, variations of reverts, riding flat, banks, transition, narrow spaces, going over coping, learning variations of stopping/slowing, and gradually try and do it as fast as you can.The more comfortable you are going fast and being able to maintain balance will help you WAY more than what these can do for you. The skaters I come across especially the novice, will act and look comfortable cruising and going even somewhat fast, but soon as they hit a high bank or transition it all goes to hell. I commonly get asked to play skate, how long I've skated, to try tricks I am not even remotely close to being ready for, simply because I'm at a point where my cruising around the park and navigating 85% of it with ease going up and down banks and transitions between 2-4ft high gives the impression that I'm good. Soon as they find out I'm still working on consistent ollies I'm met with shock and maybe even some disappointment. Thats okay though, everyone learns at their own pace which is why I love skating so much.What I would recommend this for is, the first time someone steps on the board or early enough where your too scare to even push. These can be very good for getting over the initial fear, even cheaper is just doing it in grass. If the fear is still bad I suppose transition from grass to a hard concrete asphalt surface using these. At some point you or the person using them will get soo bored you'll want to try and push and move around. By that point these will be completely useless.With that this review is high marks for cost, quality, and for what it does. Which is keeps your board still on any surface. For skill learning id give it a 2 star since it's something you'll move on from quickly. I've only taken them out two times at the park. Since then they stay in my tool kit as a token momento.Original review: These are straight up getting five stars. They arent a solve every trick type of a crutch but man forget grass, carpet, etc. Get these, i only used twice so far doing an ollie and shuv it. I literally felt 100x more confident in performing both tricks without worrying i would land wround the board slipping out. Im blown away.These will be great for me to perfect my footing and stance on the basic tricks before going into the more advance stuff.The rubber feels great and seems like would last long if you practice on flat clean surfaces. Id imagine theyll take more damage and break quicker if performing on asphalt or jagged flooring.
