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

Rockin' RipStik July 22, 2008
My son loves this!! Getting it on Amazon saved us money, gas, shipping and time! Only took 6 days to get here, versus the waiting game to see which local stores would get it in when they "might" be coming. Thanks Amazon!
amazing product July 20, 2008
I recommend this product. It works quite well ans safe, and regardless of you consider it as a toy or a new sport tool or regardless could be a present for a birhtday child (which it was my case) it would be always a nice present. When my son play with her friends staying on the board, everybody realize amazing about it and consider it as new dimension to have fun.
Definitely it is a nice present.

Loving the RipStik July 9, 2008
We bought this ripstick for our daughter's 11th birthday and she has spent hours and hours on it since then. It's keeping her outside playing instead of being inside watching TV. Great product!
 Ripstik Rolls! July 9, 2008
My son asked for this product after trying out a friends'. He couldn't wait to get it out of the box and still spends time with it a month later...my only complaint is that it is much harder to control than a bike or scooter and there have been several instances when he has had to jump off to avoid a crash.....not the best toy to use on neighborhood streets....
