Sports reviews of Ripstik Caster Board (Silver)
Customer Review: Fun for young & old
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I often describe this thing to folks who haven't seen it as a fun new way to break an ankle. That's what I thought when I first saw an ad. Luckily for my son who asked Santa for one this year (he's 8) I actually saw & played with one first hand this summer when a teen brought one to unicycle practice. Don't assume I'm all that coordinated & athletic- I sit on a uni well if I'm next to a wall, and I roll slowly on the ripstick the same way! But my 8 year old got the hang of the stick in just a few sporadic trips outside this winter & he can't wait for warm weather. I'm not even worried about broken bones anymore (though I'll try to keep him off hills for a while longer yet- but he's only 8.)
My brother & I (an out of shape 35 year old band geek chick) have a blast fooling with the thing too. I have no illusions of carving all over town- but I find it very fun. My brother & son have a blast on it & I figure it's well worth the money. I hear you'll want extra wheels if you ride hard (especially if you are grown... the kids don't seem to wear the wheels down as fast- less weight must make them last longer.) Eventually I may check into using old roller blade wheels like another poster suggested as a cheaper heavy duty replacement.
If you're interested in this thing (or your kid is) go ahead & give it a spin. You have to work at it & I heard plenty of frustration for a day or two, but then it is fun, and the uniqueness of the ride is worth all the effort. Everyone should learn a super power. Try a ripstick.
Description of Ripstik Caster Board (Silver)
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 silver 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.
