Now, Hexbug is bringing them back into style and the digital age with its Tony Hawk Circuit Boards toys. Although there's no reason a kid couldn't play with the [tiny skateboard toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skate-game) like a low-tech fingerboard, these [remote control boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerone-2) have the ability to get a boost of power from technology. The skateboards themselves feature fun graphics, plus removable wheels and trucks, so that a power axle can be added to supercharge playtime. To create some epic skate stunts, the Circuit Boards skatepark collection also includes multiple [ramps, pipes, stairs, bowls and rails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/excitebike-playable-arcade) that can be linked up. Now, kids can perform as many ollies and kickturns as they'd like without causing their parents to worry. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Electronic Toys:** Combining technology with classic toys for an interactive and immersive experience. - **Remote Control Toys:** Giving kids the power to control their toys with remote controls for a more engaging play experience. - **Modular Toys:** Allowing kids to customize and build on their toys with interchangeable parts and accessories. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Industry:** Innovating the way children play with electronic and remote-controlled toys. - **Technology Industry:** Developing new ways to incorporate technology into classic toys for a more interactive experience. - **Gaming Industry:** Creating new forms of entertainment that incorporate interactive toys and gaming elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [STEM-Inspired Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-electric-skateboard.md) - [Bluetooth-Operated Motorized Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-electric-skateboard.md) - [Hybridized Electric Longboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybridized-electric-longboards.md) - [Skateboard-Inspired Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bustin-boards-skatex.md) - [Intuitive Remote-Free Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-skateboard.md) - [Accessible First-Time Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redo-skateboards.md) - [Electric Motorized Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bustin-boards.md) - [Highly Portable Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zetazs-knight-pro.md) - [Racing-Ready Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mach-one-electric-skateboard.md)
