Admittedly it has been a few years since I was 4, but I cannot see the appeal of the idea of pushing a popper on a skateboard ramp. How is it going to be different from pushing it on a sidewalk? Or linoleum? And the steep slope on those ramps would have scared the devil out of 4 year old me.
Dill’s intrepid and adventurous brothers have built a skateboard ramp that looks more like a major roller coaster! I wonder if Alice’s popper can handle 90 MPH and high g-forces?
re toy: the “popper” came out after I had reached double digits of age. however, my 10 years’ younger sister got one, and I LOVED listening to the sound and trying to figure out how it worked
I’m guessing that we’re seeing the brothers’ skateboard ramp through the eyes and imagination of Alice & Dil. When you’re that age stuff can look way out of proportion.

Cul de Sac must have some pretty lax zoning.

Damn thing looks like pain, waiting to happen.

They have skills. Most skaters can’t handle a Mobius loop.

Looks as though Dill’s brothers may have a modicum of sense – unless they’re freezing Dill out purely because of spite.

If you have a treadmill, you can have hours of popper fun without having to go anywhere. Just pull your chair up next to it and have at it.
