Reviews

Polina. My daughter, probably, had not removed the rollers from her feet for a week. At the same time she did not leave the house. I rolled along the corridor. Good place allows. But then, when I went out on rollerblades, I quickly settled in such a large space.

Valeria. We learned a little son to ride for a long time. He moved on rollers as if on stilts. No matter how many asked him to bend his knees, he did not. But, as soon as he got it, he went. Now with the rollers does not break up.
