If you turn your skates over, and spin the wheels, do they all spin freely? Ours barely spin. And when she's skating we can see they don't all turn.

Yes, the wheels do spin freely on the 2 pairs that I purchased. In the beginning they were a little tight (small spin) but over time (about 3 weeks of daily skating) they loosened up.

Ours soon fine. It must be an issue with yours. Inwoild contact them. Based on other posts, it seems the company is helpful.

nah, they tend to skip and hop when I try to slide with them. You CAN slide with them, in fact I learned how to slide with them. They're just not great for it. They're great cruising wheels, they're big and soft and they keep momentum well.

It turns the wheels, but not through a very wide range of motion. On the one hand this probably makes it more stable, on the other the turning radius is large, making maneuvering difficult at times.

Yes. All 4 wheels are suppose to spin. Check to see if the drive shaft from the center diff to the front of the vehicle is installed. If it is installed the issue will be either the center diff or the front diff.

Yes mine spins. The one you have may be bent during shipment rendering it stiff.

No the wheels do not light up. However, they are really great skates for the price.

The back wheels are stationary. Only the front wheels turn. However, my granddaughter had no problem turning in any direction she wanted.

Yes, the smaller boards wheels do not spin as freely making it harder for them to learn. Of couse kids shoukd wear helmet, knee and elbow pads.

no H. Bauer they don't know anything about riding!!! this board doesn't turn well at all mine did even turn right and I am about 98ibs and have been skating for about 5 years so no not good enough unless you want to go in a straight line. go talk to someone at a skate shop NEVER BUY A BOARD ONLINE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING AND IF THE REVIEWS ARE CORRECT OR NOT

My daughter was exactly the same size & no experience when we bought these for her. You'll need to walk beside her for a while. My daughter can now skate all on her own!

I would like rewrite my statement on if the top spins.It does spin when the center part is not tighten to much.

We haven't had our child in it yet but our front wheels moved when we were playing with it. Maybe double check your rods in the front end.

I will second the break-in period comment. If you spin the wheels by hand when you first put them on, they will seem quite slow. go out a couple times on them, they will "loosen up" just slightly, then they'll spin like.... your GF in spin class (if she's a spinner). Also, bearings when cold will always spin slower than the same bearings when warmed up, just like a car's greased parts --the grease gets less viscous as the engine warms.

The wheels don't then because it's a skateboard, not a scooter. The board does turn with weight shift like a regular skateboard.

No... the pedals do not free wheel. The pedals and drive wheel are always engaged.

No, I haven't had any problems with the wheels at all. Can't remember for sure, but I think you will hear a click when you put the wheels on and that means they are inserted and seated properly. Check to make sure they are completely inserted properly or if there is a defect.

I'm not sure, but my son just turned 5 yesterday. He has tried the skates on twice so far and he still hasn't got the hang of it. He is a bit frustrated trying to figure it out.
