I've got one of these, though admittedly, I've rarely used it. It had been soooo long since I'd ridden a board (mid 70's), I hadn't realized that I no longer had any ankles - or balance that I used to have when I was a youngster. I had got it for city commuting (mostly to ride on sidewalks in DC), but this thing is a pig to turn sharp corners and not really suited for that sort of ride. I may eventually put a handlebar on it to see if I can get back into the groove again - though in all likelihood I'll probably end up selling it.

You might want to read the existing posts/threads about those (probably not many people following a decade-old thread ). This search includes many of them; not everything listed is relevant.
