Groove tried to revive their famous Taxi Cab but failed with the Taxi 2000.  Its design is too simple and does not stand up to the Groove quality.  Besides their design, they are just a 82cm pair of skiboards. When I rated then on the right, I realized that the characteristics these were judged in were not complete.  The skiboards are short, so they are slower then the longer ones.  They handle remarkably well, but taking big jumps on them is foolish.  However after one run in the halfpipe I could not put them down.  The small size and huge side-cut grip the halfpipe walls and spit you out with ease.  They are much better in powder then I anticipated, but probably a little bit better the the Mike Nick Pros.  I have seen many little kids on them, but I would not recommend them to the younger people, simply because the Taxi 2000 are very wide at the tips and tails, and this will lead to a bad fall if the tips overlap.  Overall they are fun and you can do 360 on the ground at full speed.
