Official GX Skate press release from Flair

There’s a new boys’ range about to hit our shores that will satisfy those with a need for speed and an urge to perform death defying stunts that will take miniature skateboard racing to another level – Introducing GX Skate...

Using the same incredible gyro technology and rip cord as the GX Racer toy cars (and the even newer GX Moto) the GX Skateboards can achieve amazing speeds and perform stunts which mimic those undertaken by the world’s top skaters. A variety of different play sets and decks are to be launched which will enable aspiring Tony Hawks to perform spectacular jumps and tricks which will make them the envy of all skaters everywhere.

Before the kick flips can begin, boys will need to get a skateboard and the Speed Assortment is the ideal starter kit. Containing a single board, speed gyro and rip cord, the speed assortment has everything skaters need to get them on the road. As with the GX Racers, the skateboards are fully customisable with a variety of gyros, all with authentic skate licences. The GX Skateboards can be used on one of the incredible tracks or off road simply by adjusting the height of the gyro, guaranteeing a real skating experience.

Every skating champion has to begin somewhere and the Stunt Assortment packs are the perfect way for boys to practice their skating tricks before performing them on one of the larger play sets. Each contains the board, unique stunt gyro and rip cord plus one of a selection of stunt accessories; such as a set of oil drums to jump over. For skaters who need a bit more of a challenge, the Deluxe Assortment has two different gyros, including a positionable gyro so different stunts can be performed in different ways.

After mastering single stunt sets boys will be eager to attempt even more impressive stunts and the Stair and Rail Grind is the perfect arena. Marvel at the board’s ability to grind down the rail or jump over a flight of stairs with ease.

For skaters who want to showcase their full repertoire of tricks and jumps the Skate Half Pipe is the perfect play set. With multiple stunt features including a half pipe, grinding rails and a tight rope, this is a veritable playground enabling all sorts of jumps, twists and mid air flights to be achieved with style!

As with the GX Racers sets, all the skate stunt accessories can be connected to each other to create a vast skating course on which your GX Skaters can reach amazing speeds and perform tricks that seem to defy the laws of science!

GX Skate will be available from Autumn 2009 from all major toy retailers.
