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: This is for 11 and up
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Ok... this thing is a mix between a skateboard and a Rollerblade. My 11 year old step-son got it for his b day and loves it. It took him a bit to learn how not to fall off but when he got the hang of it, he was doing great.
WARNING: Your child will fall off of this thing no matter what so be prepared. Have them wear safety gear to avoid anything serious.

My son asked for this product after trying out a friends'. He couldn't wait to get it out of the box and still spends time with it a month later...my only complaint is that it is much harder to control than a bike or scooter and there have been several instances when he has had to jump off to avoid a crash.....not the best toy to use on neighborhood streets....Customer Review: Rip stik

Rip Stik
I bought it as a gift for my grandaughter. She loves it. When I ordered I thought I was getting an extra set of wheels with it. I didn't. I called and they said that was with the value pack which I apparently didn't get. So if ordering make sure you have value pack if you want the extra wheels.

I like this board. It is easier to use than a skateboard and much more fun. I would have preferred if there were more colours available for this product. I got this as a present and would have preferred the razor ripstik because it has a better design but I am glad i got a ripstik.Customer Review: Surprisingly easy to learn

My 8-yr old picked up the technique in about 2 days. He rips around the driveway and maneuvers in and out of the parked cars without any trouble. The ripstik is too heavy for rails and he hasn't tried it in the pipe. But, since we got it to keep him on the ground, so far so good.
