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.

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.

Sports reviews of RipStik "G" Grind Caster Board

Customer Review: Great Price
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I orderd this for my son. I was somewhat concerned about it getting to us in a reasonable amount of time after reading what people have said about ontrac shipping. It came a day late but I think that was because of the holiday. I called ontrac and they were very supportive about getting it to me. My son had a wave board before this. He left it in his freinds drive and his mom ran over it and broke it in half. This ripstick is a far better board than the wave. I highly recommend it. The price was alot cheaper than walmart. I noticed it is even cheaper now than it was a week ago. Amazon ROCKS!

When my friend got one i was skeptical, but after riding like a pro in just an hour i had to get my own. Love the product, and of course, amazon is hands down the best place to buy this.
