Description of RipStik "G" Caster Board (Black)

Carve out sick stunts and tricks with this extreme grind machine. The RipStik G Caster Board's inclined caster trucks and pivoting deck provide snowboard-like carving ability. A unique torsion-bar design allows acceleration and turning without pushing. The RipStik G deck is concave for increased foot control, and features traction plates, kick-tail, and kick nose. The torsion bar also acts as a rubber-padded handle for easy transport.

Features:

  • 76mm poly-urethane wheels and high-performance ABEC-5 bearings for a smooth ride
  • Includes free "How to Ride" DVD
  • Holds up to 220 pounds
  • No assembly required

Please note: Read and understand the enclosed owner's manual before riding. Safety equipment such as a helmet is recommended with the RipStik. Check local laws and regulations to see where and how you may use your RipStik.


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 "G" features a spinning aircraft-grade aluminum "G" tube in the center for extreme grinding action. Like the original Ripstik, the "G" 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 aircraft-grade aluminum tube 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 children 8 years and up, the Ripstik's plastic end platforms and metal torsion beam support up to 220 pounds.

  • Kick nose
  • Kick tail
  • Rubber-padded handle
  • Torsion bar
  • 76-millimeter polyurethane wheels
