I had a dream last night about this very riding toy. Since I saw this online a couple days ago I keep thinking of all the fun times I had as a child riding the sit and skate Flying Turtle. Recommended for ages 3 years and up kids propel themselves by swinging the handlebars from side to side on smooth-rolling skateboard wheels. If you’ve seen them before then you know how easy it is to get moving. I tried to find a good example of people riding a Flying Turtle, but the best I could come up with is this 5 second video of a grown up riding in a circle. If you can find a better example video online or upload one of your own, please let us know by leaving a comment with a link to it.

My personal memories are from the mid 80’s and this teal color really brings back those 80’s feelings. Now you can get them in the always stylish black, in purple, or even a dark green.

I remember I enjoyed it because I couldn’t skateboard well at all, but still wanted to hang out in empty parking lots with the bigger kids. This gave me the transportation, not to mention good exercise, I needed to be able to keep up with the others in the neighborhood. Which is exactly why I would recommend this as a good gift to kids who happen to be in a similar situation.

$58.50
