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.
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.

Customer Review: Great board
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

This is a great board, but what a rip off. You can buy this board all day at Alco for $25.00. I and my family have purchased lots from Amazon, but this price is ridiculous.

Customer Review: So much fun
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

MY 11 year old son zips around on this thing for hours. It's so smooth gliding and he thinks it's very fun. It's easy to learn, he had it mastered in hours.

Customer Review: Great way to spend summer
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

when you first get the ripstick it is challenging to learn how to ride but when you know how to ride it, it is super fun! then you can start doing tricks.
