February 2009 New Specialty Toys — Wheeled Toys

The Wave Stealth® Board, a newly designed in-line casterboard, blends the motions of surfing, snowboarding and skateboarding to the fast-growing and popular sport of Street Surfing. With a camouflaged design of Army green and brown colors, the Wave Stealth provides a fresh, fun ride for tweens or teens. It consists of two platforms with a sure grip-tape deckplate design, joined by an anodized torsion bar. The two “Street Tech” wheels have Abec 7 bearings and casters that spin 360 degrees while the swiveling base allows riders to self propel by going forward, downhill and even uphill by just bending their knees and twisting their hips and shoulders. This product was named a Greatest Product of 2008 for sporting goods by iParenting Media. Launch date: November 2008.

The URoll is the perfect size for little racers. It boasts a cantilevered seat strong enough for dad and mom, and the floating form creates a dynamic toy car that lets junior cruise in style. With an incredible turning radius, it’s agile enough for small spaces and can maneuver around tight corners. Launch date: December 2007.
