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: 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: Excellent!

This is an excellent device. I am a 40 year old only "kind of" athletic man. I don't know how to skateboard, but I was able to pick this up in about 20 minutes.
It is really a great device for getting a fun little workout in. And even better...if you happen to have kids in the 2-5 year old range, it is a great way to accompany them when they ride on their tricycle, scooter and bicycle (with training wheels). Let me explain why. If you are riding on a bike and your kid is on a trike or a bicycle then they are going *painfully* slow. You will be constantly waiting for them. But on this little beastie, you will have to bust your ass to keep up with them on bike. You can go at a fairly comfortable clip when they are on a scooter. And if they are on a trike, then you can go in largish circles.
You are entertained, they are entertained. Everyone is happy. And you are helping to stave off the inevitable softening of your body.
It is *very* durable. I am 200 pounds and I beat the bejeesus out of this thing.
I do not agree with criticism that this is overpriced. It is well made and stands up to some abuse.
NOTE: I do *not* do the fancy pants skater tricks on it. So maybe it would break if I did that. Not an issue for me.
Customer Review: BEAST PRODUCT!
