Wooden Skateboarder from Balsawood Toys

Balsa Wood Toys sells wooden toys, kits, and clocks. This skateboarder kit is actually made from pine. Turn the hand crank and his knees bend and the board shuffles. It’s a fun item, but I can’t get behind the $30 price and the fact that the skateboarder is riding backwards. It is a kit though, maybe you can build it in a proper stance.

– Thanks to Matthijs for the tip.

  1. $30 for a cool articulated wooden toy seems reasonable.
    Building that same articulated wooden toy with your kids or some other budding mind, priceless.

    Hack it to pop-a-wheelie or spin a 360.

  2. I’m surprised it’s not made of recycled skateboards. That stance is called Shit Foot. Not Goofy, Not Regular, just plain shit.

  3. Hi Guys,

    We are pleased you like our skateboarder model, to confirm you could put the rider in a in a better trick position if required. I can give you a good deal on postage to the states if you like and you can have a competition for the coolest model?

    1. Err.. thanks, Just pointing out that whoever built this for the photograph put the rider on backwards, and that gets our panties in a bunch.

  4. Correction.The stance is not Shitfoot, It’s Switch Mongo.

  5. I’ve been using this item for about a month and a fifty percent now, and i have get rid of 20lbs. and 4 inches off my waste. It’s really a fantastic product. I have in fact started off over 20 folks on this item and are actually seeing superb final results in all of them. Even all those what were very large have made sizable strides in the battle of the buldge. Most lost at least 3 to 4 pound from the very first week. I have been purchasing this item for them in this article on here ever due to the fact I discovered the low prices.

    1. So turning the old hand crank really does it for you?

  6. The only explanation for the stance that I can figure is that this comes with an optional wooden bathroom stall with pre-drilled glory hole, to lean him against… given his expression.
