Sports reviews of RipStik "G" Grind Caster Board
Customer Review: Great Board- You won't put it down
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I'm an adult and I wanted to get a caster board after seeing one of the neighborhood kids riding one. He let me try it out and it was alot of fun and great exercise. I went to our local sporting goods store and originally bought the Wave board because it was on sale and the guy at the store told me it was made better than the ripstik. Took it home and it was ok but not as smooth or as easy to use as the neighbor's ripstik. After 2 weeks of use, the Wave board became increasingly difficult to use- the joints on the wheels did not feel like they were turning as fluidly, particularly uphill. Took the Wave board back to the store where they graciously returned it and bought the ripstik G. I don't intend to grind but I read some reviews that the G is smoother and more durable than the original ripstik. In addition, I have 2 boys who are now using my board constantly (I have since ordered a second one) and might like to do some tricks, plus the price was fine. The G is AMAZING. Significantly faster and smoother than the Wave. Going uphill is much easier. Carving is no problem at all. My 6 year old took to the G in no time. Our young neighbor has the Ripster (the smaller ripstik made for younger kids). I can see how that would be a good product for little kids just starting out but I will tell you that my son had no trouble picking up the full size G with some practice and he now rides like a pro. He is not into tricks yet but I can see it is coming. One word of caution is that the G is fast on hills. You really have to carve (go side to side) or you will fall and get hurt. In conclusion, this is a great product that I highly recommend. Do not waste your time (as I did) on other brands.
Description of RipStik "G" Grind Caster Board
Get your grind on with the Ripstik G extreme grinding machine! The RipStik G Caster board blends the skateboard, surfboard and snowboard for a riding board that that is unlike anything youve seen! This innovative ride features a spinning aluminum G-tube in the center for smooth grinding action. The unique twisting motion of the caster board allows you to accelerate and turn without having to push off the ground! In fact, your feet never leave the board. The 360 degree inclined caster trucks and pivoting deck offer you an intense, snowboard-like carving ability. The concave deck provides increased foot control so you can learn to shift your weight and steer. The tough urethane wheels and ABEC 5 speed bearings ensure a smooth ride on almost any surface while the tough deck supports up to 220 lbs.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. |
