Grom, just like the name implies, sounds rather small and childish. That because they are specifically designed for children or very little people. I don't know what I was thinking when I rode them. They feel small, cramped and fragile. They are wider then other Salomons but feel microscopic. On a lighter note, they were probably the most exciting pair of Snowblades I ever tried. It was not Skiboarding anymore, but rather figure skating on snow. You can do the most amazing tricks on them, 720s and 900s are a breeze but landing them is nearly impossible. You can spin yourself like a top but expect to hit the ground very hard. I would not recommend them for a full grown adult, but there is no better choice out there for a child. They are shorter and wide therefore provide more then adequate stability for anyone under 4 feet. They are small and can be used a ski teaching tool for kids, but you should not expect your kids to ever ski again, they are that much fun.
