Description of RipStik Caster Board (Pink)
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 pink 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 (Pink)
Customer Review: So much fun!!!!!!!!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My sons and daughter ages 9,12,17 and 20 all have these and they LOVE them. They have so much fun using them. We frequently take short trips to the nearby Disney Resorts for vacation and they always take their Ripsticks along to ride there. Everyone they pass wants to know what they are and where they can buy them and comment on how cool they are. They are very popular with the kids here in Florida but apparently haven't made their way to some places up North yet,but I'm sure they will! One word of warning-they are difficult to ride at first, but don't give up because you will catch on if you practice a little. My 9 year old couldn't even stand up at first but now she's a pro at it.Customer Review: This RipStik Is Awesome!

I'm 27 yrs old and LOVE my new RipStik! It's not like your typical skate board... it only has 2 WHEELS!!! My kids think I'm the coolest mom on the block for riding my Caster Board along side them when they ride bikes... My oldest (7yrs) is learning to ride it and it's excellent for fine tuning coordination and balance. It's a refreshing break from the traditional skate board and is lots of fun! Not that I encourage all moms to get out there and start RipStik-ing(as I'm sure it's not for everyone)... but It's a great work out for your butt, thighs and calf muscles ;)

Customer Review: My kids LOVE shop rating: 5 Stars
My kids (13, 10 and 7) LOVE these! They are great exercise and great for coordination. We've started a RipStik Gang in our neighborhood - all the kids who didn't have them got hooked on them from my kids and went out and bought one. Now there's a whole pack of them riding around the neighborhood.One drawback - my 7 year old broke her wrist. Not the RipStik's fault though - make sure they know what NOT to try to ride over (she tried to ride over a manhole cover and fell).
HOURS of entertainment if your kids are "outside" kids like mine.
Customer Review: Excellent board and a lot of fun !!! Daughter loves it
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My daughters friend had one of these and my daughter was always riding it, I finally got one of her own. She rides it all the time and has a ball, great exercize and all her friends want one now. She is 13 and usually all the stuff I buy her ends up sitting in the garage, not this, it is out every day and being used. One of the best purchases I have done in a while. Once they get the hang of it, they take off and never look back. Highly recommend !! Amazon had great price and FREE SHIPPING, quick also ...can't beat the dealCustomer Review: Great product!

I purchased this for my daughter. She is 8 years old. I was concerned because she nevered skated or used a skateboard before. The information DVD that comes with the product was just perfect. It showed her how to ride the RipStik. She already know how to work the board and it only took her a week! The RibStik is put together well and very colorful. She loves it and rides it everyday. Plus it keeps her outside being active instead of being on a computer or watching T.V.
