I know kids who have got these but they prefer the skateboards because their hands are too small, the kids I know are 10 and 9. But for an adult into bikes, as I am, this is an awesome little bit of fun. You can do loads of real tricks and some made up ones too and say as a desk toy its perfect, better than a PSP, kinda. I could even see me having loads of ramps in my loft when I'm about 60 just like the old guys have steam trains now. Check out you tube for some ace videos. I would say I would like a minature mountain bike which I could make trails for in the garden, but I guess this little fella could handle that. Sad it might seem to the sceptical but I bought it to give up cigarettes and now I am looking to go pro, if you love bikes and are already looking at reviews for it, I can't see what's not to like - maybe the lack of pegs, the only flaw in an otherwise perfect world of BMX minatures - but i aren't giving it a 4 for that, that would be tight
