Description of Ripstik Caster Board (Red)
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 red 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 (Red)
Customer Review: Much tougher than it looks..
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
While this board might seem like an ordinary skateboard with a twist, it's completely different...It requires a great amount of coordination and balance to ride it..I have given up on it, but my 12 y.o. brother (who it was intended for) loves it and can actually ride it. I wouldn't recomend it if you can't ride a skateboard very well.Customer Review: Ripstik Caster (red)

The ripstick was a hot item this past year. I was hesitant to order for my 9 year old because of the complexity of it and the thought of 'emergency room'. However, it was a hit and although it does take practice he is learning the "moves" and very pleased with the gift!Customer Review: Ripstik pretty fun

I bought this for my 10 year old nephew, and it's a little too difficult because it has 2 wheels rather than 4 like a skate board. He still loves it though. The product arrived in great condition - like new. I was very happy with it.Customer Review: Fun.

My 12 year old son loves this. It took a bit to get the hang of it, but now you can't get him off of it.Customer Review: think twice before buying

Made very well however, my 10 year old had a hard time with it. She said it was to hard to learn. She said she wished she had asked for a new skateboard instead for christmas. It will take alot of time for her to learn and definitely wear a helmet. I think it is one of those toys that some kids will either pratice forever or it will stay in the closet. We have decided to purchase her a new skateboard.
