Who Is The Nidecker Micron Sensor For?

Kids who want to do 720’s before they’ve even learned to count that high.

Shape, Profile and Sidecut

The Micron Sensor is a true twin silhouette that loves to be thrown around. 180s, 540s, cab tricks, even switch backsides – all are within reach on this pint-sized park deck. The Freestyle Camrock profile blends a flat section between the inserts with rocker towards the nose and tail; this makes it super easy to link turns and butter around, and less likely that you’ll catch an edge when spinning like a Tasmanian devil.

The widepoints feature SideKicks – basically a steep 3D scoop that smooths out turn initiation and makes it even harder to hang up. Together with the rockered element, it also means that the Micron Sensor surfs easily over slush and goes surprisingly well in powder, since the nose is shaped almost like a plough.

Construction and Materials

The construction is much the same quality as the adult Sensor, with a full length wood core made from poplar and beech for a good strength-to-weight ratio. Biax weave fibreglass keeps the flex super soft, so even tiny legs can pop ollies and get their press on, and the topsheet includes an Absorbnid layer that dampens the ride at higher speeds (and let’s be real, most kids love to run before they can walk).

Classic sandwich sidewalls and a durable extruded base ensure that the Micron can withstand plenty of abuse on rails and boxes. It’s all topped off with a matte finish graphic that includes a dash of fun fluro.

Roundup

It might sound like a new razor from Gillette, but the Micron Sensor is aimed at rubber people who’ve never shaved in their life. That said, it’s built just like a grown-up board, with quality materials and some really nice features that elevate it above the kind of deck you find at the rental shop. The best a kid can get.
