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.

I love the ripstick. It is really smooth and just glides on the ground like you are on water.Customer Review: pretty killer board
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This caster board is awesome for burnin down hills. If you have any skill at snowboarding, you will most likely pick it up very quickly. I actually found that the hardest part was trying to use it on flat ground or going up hill, it is really a lot tougher than it may seem to go up even the slightest hill while riding the board.
As for the board specifically, it seems very solid and well built, I haven't seen any problems with the wheels or the casters themselves.
Customer Review: Great Product

I can't say how the product will perform yet because it is a Christmas gift for my son, but he has wanted one and has tried others' ripstiks - they seem to be a hoot to ride. I have to say that the free shipping and lower price than stores around here was a big draw, and it also came within a week of ordering. I would say I am very happy with the product so far. Everything seems to be included in the box and there were no damages.
