Description of RipStik Caster Board (Blue)
Razor RIPSTIK in-line caster board. Easier to ride than a skateboard. Plastic end platforms with metal torsion beam. 86A Inline-type wheels on precision ABEC-5-sealed bearing casters. Spiked traction pads and kick tail and raised nose with concave design for tricks and improved footing. Ages 8+, weight limit 220lbs.Best described as a cross between a skateboard and a snowboard, the blue RazorX Ripstik caster board is the perfect ride for kids looking for the next big thrill. The board is distinguished by its pivoting deck and 360-degree inclined caster trucks, which offer a snowboard-like carving ability. A simple weight transfer lets you turn or accelerate without pushing, just like when you're carving down the slopes.
In addition, the board offers such features as spiked traction pads, a kick tail and nose, and a concave deck design, which combine to improve your foot control--a must for tricks. And thanks to the 76mm polyurethane wheels and precision ABEC-5 bearing casters, skaters will enjoy a smooth ride on almost any type of pavement. Designed for children 8 years and up, the Ripstik's plastic end platforms and metal torsion beam support up to 220 pounds. The board also comes with a free How to Ride DVD.

Sports reviews of RipStik Caster Board (Blue)
Customer Review: EXCELLENT SURPRISE!!!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought the RipStick as a birthday present for my 13 y/o grandson. He loves the blue color (his favorite). His first try was very short & wobbly. He is getting to the point of mastering his own technique. All his friends love his new "toy" & now they all want one. I've seen these @ Wal-Mart cheaper, but they don't compare in color, style or durability. The wheels/casters are of very good quality. The CD that came w/ the RipStick was perfect in giving directions for safe usage. I ordered it 13 days before Christmas & was totally shocked to have received it w/in 4 days!! My grandson is very happy w/ his new toy!!!Customer Review: Very Fun

Got my twins (9 years old) these for their birthday. It's challenging at first, but once they master the swivel action they love it. My best friend was determined to beat me at a sport and thought this would be her chance since it was new to both of us. I struggled to get going, but after a week of practicing I can do it too (I'm a 41 year old mom). It's really fun, way better than skateboarding and these boards are high quality and durable. You'll need new wheels after a few months, but they are easily changed.Customer Review: totally cool

I gave my son a Ripstik for his 10th birthday in March. Any day that the weather allows (no snow) he was riding it. He's really getting the hang of balancing it and can stay on it quite awhile. I love it because it's a toy that keeps him active and he doesn't seem to be getting tired of it. He says, "Even though it's hard to start it, once you've had it for awhile you'll be able to ride it. It is very fun, it's better than video games."Customer Review: amazing product
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I recommend this product. It works quite well ans safe, and regardless of you consider it as a toy or a new sport tool or regardless could be a present for a birhtday child (which it was my case) it would be always a nice present. When my son play with her friends staying on the board, everybody realize amazing about it and consider it as new dimension to have fun.
Definitely it is a nice present.
Customer Review: 10 year old easily learned to manuever
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
purchased for 10 year old's birthday, he is a novice skateboarder. However, he surprised me at how easily he learned to maneuver the RipStik. It turns so well I found him going aound my car in an enclosed garage with no difficulty. I rated it a 5 because I could not find anything wrong with the product or shipping, we have only had it a few weeks. Dont hesitate about the 2 wheels versus 4, its a breeze for them
