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: it is great because you can showoff
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
i really like the ripstik because you never have to keep pushing off the ground for more speed like you do for a skate board or scooter. you can just keep floating along on your piece of moving ground. the only problem is that its hard to learn, but that only adds to your bragging rights when you master it.Customer Review: Why not like it?!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I got mine because everyone in my school had one,i just loved riding them. If you have 30 min-2 hours you can learn all you have to do is keep turning your body to propel it this got me off the couch for hours and it is a very good product all the money is worth it. Wear a helmet and be safe.Customer Review: AWSOME!

I purchased a ripstik and let me tell you, THE BEST THING TO RIDE! Whenever I go down the street everyone stares and ask what is it. They all say they want one too. The best thing of all is riding hills! I can even go up them but when you go down its like snowboarding. I recommend this 100%Customer Review: SICK shop rating: 5 Stars
these things are sick fun! i got one for xmas and the only thing i do outside! They aren't that hard to ride. I've fallen only three times on a crack filled driveway. The best way to spend a day!Ps. I might do a video review with some footage of me riding.

I bought this Ripstik online for my nephew during the Christmas Holidays. I ordered it and it got to his house within THREE days! DURING CHRISTMAS! This was the least expensive price I found online or in the stores and he absolutely loves it. I would highly recomment it.
