What parents need to know
Parents need to know that although this sports-centric site's content is mostly harmless, it does contain some BMX and skateboarding how-to videos that could, if imitated, possibly cause injury. The site encourages kids to use non-personal usernames instead of their real names. In fact, the site only asks for first names and email addresses when users are sending postcards to friends -- who they'll also need to provide an email address for -- or entering contests, in which case the user's screen name, and not first name, will appear on the site. There are some ads.
Educational value:

Violence:
Some skating and biking tricks may not be safe to replicate, and a cartoon on the site shows a character turning into a vampire courtesy of a neck bite that has a tooth lodged in it.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
You can subscribe to SI Kids magazine, and there are some contests and ads.
