Updated review: These sound great for uninitiated, the first first timer, the skater not ready for any tricks. Tricks as in the most basic shuvs and ollies. I would not even recommend these for ollies or shuvits. You can use it for that but I would not recommend it and here's why. I'm just over two years in now and due to old age (late 30s), Knee problems, and injuries I've mostly two years literally on basic foundation and riding. Very little jumping or high risk stuff. High risk as in anything more than a one stair or any drop over 6 inches.When I tried these early on I thought they helped. In reality they only hold you back especially for tricks. Any tricks really. The reason is because generally skateboard tricks are going to require some forward or backwards momentum. Learning stuff stationary is really going to hinder your feeling of balancing while moving, adjusting to wheels sliding, and a bunch of other variables that you cannot replicate unless you are moving. You are much better off practicing tricks moving slowly vs stationary. The feeling of balance and coordinating your body to respond reflexively is not acquired or confuses you when you practice stationary then try while moving. It's very counter productive.The best advise I wish I had followed earlier but caught on in time was to just ride, ride a lot, and ride everywhere. Foundation above all else if your struggling. This means cruising, all variations of kick turns, variations of reverts, riding flat, banks, transition, narrow spaces, going over coping, learning variations of stopping/slowing, and gradually try and do it as fast as you can.The more comfortable you are going fast and being able to maintain balance will help you WAY more than what these can do for you. The skaters I come across especially the novice, will act and look comfortable cruising and going even somewhat fast, but soon as they hit a high bank or transition it all goes to hell. I commonly get asked to play skate, how long I've skated, to try tricks I am not even remotely close to being ready for, simply because I'm at a point where my cruising around the park and navigating 85% of it with ease going up and down banks and transitions between 2-4ft high gives the impression that I'm good. Soon as they find out I'm still working on consistent ollies I'm met with shock and maybe even some disappointment. Thats okay though, everyone learns at their own pace which is why I love skating so much.What I would recommend this for is, the first time someone steps on the board or early enough where your too scare to even push. These can be very good for getting over the initial fear, even cheaper is just doing it in grass. If the fear is still bad I suppose transition from grass to a hard concrete asphalt surface using these. At some point you or the person using them will get soo bored you'll want to try and push and move around. By that point these will be completely useless.With that this review is high marks for cost, quality, and for what it does. Which is keeps your board still on any surface. For skill learning id give it a 2 star since it's something you'll move on from quickly. I've only taken them out two times at the park. Since then they stay in my tool kit as a token momento.Original review: These are straight up getting five stars. They arent a solve every trick type of a crutch but man forget grass, carpet, etc. Get these, i only used twice so far doing an ollie and shuv it. I literally felt 100x more confident in performing both tricks without worrying i would land wround the board slipping out. Im blown away.These will be great for me to perfect my footing and stance on the basic tricks before going into the more advance stuff.The rubber feels great and seems like would last long if you practice on flat clean surfaces. Id imagine theyll take more damage and break quicker if performing on asphalt or jagged flooring.

Very cool to help inside (e.g. basement or garage) when working on manuals and or not outside. Really helpful to intermix with practice. Super cool product.

Skater trainers really work , at first I was a bit worried they weren’t going to be what I thought they were but they exceeded my expectations, the fit on the wheel just right and help you learn tricks and help you gain balance and confidence there’s nothing else out there like them

They work absolutely amazingly 💯 would recommend 10/10

Very helpful

My son used these to learn to ollie on his skateboard. They keep the board in place so you can work on footwork. Works well.

Well made, but unfortunately my son doesn't want to practice ollies without rolling into them.

They stop the skateboard from rolling, so they work as advertised. Flip tricks and ollies do feel very different with these on. Once you finally learn to land a trick with these, you have to retrain your muscle memory for the board without them on. So, in that respect, it could potentially take you longer to learn the trick completely. You might feel more confident a little sooner, though. I would say they are best for people learning ollies and shuvits for the first time, or trying a trick fakie or switch, since you're probably more nervous or worried about landing wrong in those stances. Doesn't prevent primo (obviously) but, hey, skateboarding is all about kissing the concrete and trying again anyway!
