Extreme Flat Scoot: Jon Reyes vs Claudius Vertesi, real trick-riding skill
Two real scooter riders battling it out with real tricks. Loud, fast, and a genuine skill showcase for a scooter-obsessed kid.
Jon Reyes and Claudius Vertesi go head-to-head in a flat-ground scooter trick battle, real riders doing real, difficult tricks, not staged stunts. Twenty-two minutes of fast cuts and loud energy makes this a proper daytime watch for an active, scooter-mad kid rather than a calming one. There's a fair bit of genuine skill and persistence on display underneath the noise; our review flags real hidden learning here even at a modest educational score.

Will it actually calm them down?
A little help on Windy days, won't fully settle a wound-up child
Brilliant on Rainy days for a scooter-and-skate-obsessed kid wanting a lift
Skip on Stormy days, too much noise for meltdown recoveryScores measure how reliably this video moves a child toward a settled, regulated state. In the Piko app, kids tell us their weather and we do the matching automatically.
Which kids will love it?
Why it works
Our analysis clocks the average shot at 2.8 seconds, with loud music and sudden sound effects layered through fast cuts and bright colours, a genuinely high-sensory watch.
Fear triggers around loud noises and fast pacing are flagged specifically at the 4 to 5 age band, so this simply isn't built for very young viewers, but it suits its actual older-kid audience well.
Commercial pressure is rated subtle and low, this is a genuine sport and skill video rather than a merch pitch. It's an older upload (2017), but real trick riding doesn't really date.
When to reach for it
- The scooter- or skate-obsessed kid. Real riders, real tricks, genuine skill on display.
- Daytime energy, not the wind-down watch. Loud and fast throughout, better suited to after school than bedtime.
- Might inspire actual outdoor practice. Screen time that could plausibly end with a trip to the skate park.
