| Pete sent me this to try out and review, so here's the review. First Impressions-At first I didn't expect it to be so small! I knew it was small but seeing it right infront of you, it's tiny! You can even fit it in your pocket so it's great to take out with you if you're going to a meetup or anywhere really. The exact dimensions are: Height: 3.5cm Width- 8cm Length- 10.5cm I found it quite hard to do Nollie tricks off it at first but they're much easier once you get a technique that suits it, even after a week of using it, I still find it hard to Nollie off, but it's a small kicker, so that's obviously not a problem Craftsmanship-The way it's made is absolutely amazing for the price! I expected it to be just 4 pieces of wood stuck together at only £5, you know, just the sides, riding platform and back, but no! It has all of them, but with a base and it sounds like there are supports inside of it, because when you tap it, it doesn't sound hollow. The kicker is made with high quality plywood, same as all of the other Big Constructuion ramps. The edges are nice and smooth, there's no bumpy/rough edges on it at all. The only problem is, is that at the section where you first ride onto the kicker, it is VERY thin and feels like it could chip easily, so you have to be careful when it's in your pocket and in a bag or something, I've had it in a bag, drawer and my pocket to test out the durability and it's still intact, but I'd want to avoid being rough with it. It's not a big problem to be honest, because if it wasn't so thin, there would be a bump when you ride up onto it, which would affect the performance and craftsmanship of the kicker. On some ramps, when you land onto ramps, your wheels can make small dents on the surface, whereas on this wee thing, there's absolutely no signs of dents, maybe they might after a while but so far, so good. Performance-Performance of this kicker is outstanding, I wasn't a big fan of kickers, but after having hours of fun with this ramp, I'm now a huge fan. You could say that the ramp has a medium steepness of ascendance? Which makes it amazing as it's so small, you can get quite a lot of air of the ramp to get over things or onto things. It's not too mellow or too steep which makes it a great ramp. I also had fun doing little bonks on the side of the ramp, such a bs tail to shuv out. It's an awesome ramp for almost any trick, apart from some nollie tricks such as nollie tres or lazers. But it's a "rapid" kicker, so it's not much of a problem, I was quite disappointed I could nollie tre because they're my favourite tricks. Overall-Overall, this is amazing for the price, these could be sold at double the price because of the amount work gone into these. I've tried making kickers like this before and it's so hard to get everything solid and to make it flush with the ground without messing it up. If you're looking for that one little extra for your desk, collection or park, I'd recommend this to anyone due to the quality and price! FIVE POUNDS! It's a steal, go to The Norwood Project now and grab one here |

| Is there any room to do tricks on it will, does it not feel a little cramped how you just get onto it and you have to trick off straight away ? Lovely review btw and great price |

| That's a really good review. I like the way you didn't have to rate everything out of 10 and just talked about it honestly.
Very cool kicker too! |
