Description of Ripstik Caster Board
The new Ripstick combines all the fun and excitement of surfing and snowboarding and puts it on wheels. Inspired by the classic shape and design of a skateboard, the Ripstick looks like something out of the future. Instead of the traditional four-wheel skateboard, this amazing board can make smooth, quick 360-degree turns on just two wheels. Just stand on the sturdy traction plates and subtle movements propel the Ripstick even up a hill! The front and rear flexible panels are controlled by a spring-oriented bar located on the top of the wheels. The rugged polyurethane wheels are 77mm/85A with ABEC-5 bearings. Separating the two traction plates is a padded rubber carrying handle. Measures 33.5" long x 10" wide. Weighs 8 lbs. Wear helmet and pads for safety. 90-day warranty.Best described as a cross between a skateboard and a snowboard, the 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.
 The Ripstik's unique twisting motion moves you forward with out ever pushing off the ground. |

Sports reviews of Ripstik Caster Board
Customer Review: Ripstick is the BEST !
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Got this for my 12 y/o and he absolutely LOVES it - now all of his friends have it! He has used it alot x 6 months and has NOT burned out the wheels. There is a learning curve to get used to this and it uses kinetic energy to propell you down the street (no pushing with your feet anymore as with a conventional stakeboard). It will turn heads on your block ! Any boy around this age will LOVE this gift ! Go for it !Customer Review: This is contagious!

Just like most of the other reviews of this product, my 10-year-old absolutely loves it! He mastered it within minutes (he does snowboard which helped) and other neighbor kids and friends have since bought one also. Saved some money by buying it on Amazon rather than in stores. Have only had it several days, but I think this item is money well spent for the fun and excitment we've experienced so far.Customer Review: BEAST PRODUCT!

The Ripstik caster board is so much fun and works very well. It's hard at first but it gets easier with practice. My friend has a Ripstik so I tried his out and I loved it. The two wheels give me more control which is great. Even though you can get some bruised knees trying it out at first it's worth it. This is definitely is a toy where "if at first you don't succeed try try again".Customer Review: the best thing ever!!!!!!
