We came across this great video on YouTube of these guys in the states riding some sweet jumps with a Turbospoke on board!
It looks like a great course, and the sound from the Turbospoke is awesome. Can't wait to see the full run!
Turbospoke has been listed as one of the Top 30 Toys of Toy Fair 2010 by ASTRA (American Specialty Toy Retailing Association).
The list was compiled by ASTRA in their 'Share the Fair' initiative where 85 retailers gathered together and discussed the toys which stood out for them at this years International Toy Fair in New York. The list of 30 was whittled down from a list of 150 toys.
Turbospoke's Tom Maxwell had this to say "This is an excellent result for Turbospoke. We're hugely grateful to ASTRA and its members for compiling this list and we're delighted to be a part of it. This result very much reflects the positive reaction and overwhelming feedback that we received at this years Toy Fair"
Thanks is also due to Julie Jones of TD Monthly for publishing the full list which can be seen here.
