Description of RipStik DLX Caster BoardNew Pro-Style features modified off the classic ripstik design. Get your grind on with a spinning aluminum torsion bar. Kick flip higher with new lighter weight design. Carve downhill faster with ABEC-7 bearings. Land smoother with new riser pads. Best described as a cross between a skateboard and a snowboard, the Ripstik caster board is distinguished by its pivoting deck and 360-degree inclined caster trucks, which offers a snowboard-like carving ability. The RipStik DLX features an aluminum torsion bar for wicked grinds and carbon fiber deck graphics. Like the original Ripstik, the DLX moves you forward with a simple weight transfer that lets you turn or accelerate without pushing--just like when you're carving down the slopes. 
The aluminum torsion bar in the center is ready for extreme grinding. |  | 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 kids 8 years and up, the Ripstik's plastic end platforms and metal torsion beam support up to 220 pounds. Key Features: - Inclined caster trucks

Sports reviews of RipStik DLX Caster BoardCustomer Review: Really cool board! Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My 12 year old had been wanting one of these caser boards for some time, and I had wondered how sucessful he would be in learning to ride it. After a bit of research and checking out the different models at local stores we ordered him the DLX from Amazon. He has taken to this thing "like a duck to water" and rides the thing every day. The engineering of this board is really quite interesting. It is well made and seems as if it will last a long time. My only recommendation is this...if you buy one and enjoy riding it, go ahead and stock up on some extra wheels. As I mentioned he has been riding this thing like mad...mostly on concrete and asphalt. After about 6 weeks the rear wheel is completly gone! The front wheel is worn a bit, but not nearly as bad. The wheels and bearings for the DLX are uique, and are not everywhere on the internet, but I did find them at the Razor web site. Overall, we think it is a great product!
Customer Review: RipStik wonder! Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My daughter,(aged 11y) wanted a RipStik for Christmas. She first set eyes on one at her friend's house, had a go, and loved it.
I did alot of research on what one to buy, which I found to be quite confusing, as they were all different. I knew I wanted one from a known trade marked company. I read alot of reviews and settled on the RipStik DLX. It is light and monouvers well in tight areas. This was what finalised my choice, as I knew my daughter would be on it in the house. She safely glides around the kitchen cabinets with ease. By the way she mastered it outside where there is a lot of space. Don't expect to be riding confidently without a few falls. My daughter is quite sporty so picks things up quick, two days for her. Others could take longer. Great buy, she uses it everyday!
Customer Review: RipStik is Sick!!! Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Hmm...What shall I say about the RipStik? It's pretty sick! This DLX version of the RipStik is pretty cool. It is lighter and faster than the regular one. I actually have both, but I like the control on the DLX version. I especially like the design of the board itself the carbon fiber look is nice...very nice. It was so nice I didn't even want to use it; I just wanted to hang it on my wall or something. You guys should buy this product to try out. It's great for kids, teenagers, and adults! I'm 22 and I use it...I use it for trainning myself for snowboarding. get it and find out!
Customer Review: My son loves this Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this for my son because he is such a good boy and deserved something as a reward for being such a good kid. This is what he wanted. He it. He rides it back and forth to school. He uses it as often as he can. I'm so glad I got it for him because he has soooo much fun with it and I love to see him happy.
Customer Review: Kathy Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We bought this for our son's 12 birthday. He really loves it. It is a lot smoother then his first one. He got just a regular rip stick a couple of years ago. He uses it all the time. He jumps ramps and is learning how to grind with it. Awesome buy.
