Piko approved · checked and scored

Mr. Lund science practices his first skateboarding kickflip in an outdoor yard. The video is active and fast-paced, featuring outdoor practice cuts and reactions. It is a great match for active Movers and Thrill Seekers aged 10 to 11. Because it features board tricks, it is energising. However, younger kids under 6 may copy the stunts without wearing safety gear.
