Product Description
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.
Amazon.com Product Description
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. Key Features: - Inclined caster trucks
- Concave deck platforms
- Traction plates
- Kick nose
- Kick tail
- Rubber-padded handle
- Torsion bar
- 76-millimeter polyurethane wheels
- High-performance ABEC-5 bearings

Rip Stick January 8, 2009
The ripsticks I bought for my nephew is wonderful....he was so excited when he opened his gift!
 fun board January 7, 2009
I got this for my son for Christmas, he had ridden one once before at a friends house. He caught on right away (but he is 13) I wouldn't suggest Dad getting on and ending up in the emergency room. It does seem dangerous but he is having a great time on it. I choose this board because it was suppose to come with 2 extra wheels which did not come with it. Haven't been able to resolve that issue yet. Have fun, be careful!
Fun Outdoors! January 7, 2009
Both of my kids got this as gifts for Christmas..they are on their ripsticks every day trying to master it! Great fun!
Ripstick rocks January 7, 2009
My niece loved this Christmas gift. She rides it constantly. It's a good value and I love that it came with 4 replacement wheels.
Ripstick Caster Board January 6, 2009
The prompt delivery on this item was great. I have a 12-1/2 year old girl that loves the ripstik. It did not take her long to be able to learn how to move on it. She likes it much better than a skateboard. Her friends that have it feel the same way.
