Spooner Board - Freestyle

The best description we heard about the Spooner was that it was like a skateboard without wheels. You will need some downhill slopes but they can be just about any surface, preferably carpet, grass or sand. It takes a bit of getting used to as all new ride-on toys do but along the way it
