What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"Zero Jr feels confidence-boosting from run one-catch-free but still grippy when kids start carving.

It's a setup that lets groms focus on fun, not fiddling."Who It's ForBeginner to Intermediate Kids:Young riders stepping off rentals or progressing fast who want a friendly, durable setup that supports learning switch, linking turns, and trying first side hits.
