Customer Rating:      Summary: RipStik is a hit! Comment: I bought one for my daughter's 10th birthday. She loves it! It came with a video on how to use it and do tricks, and she watched it before using it the first time. Even though MN winters start early, she has been on it more than what I expected. I recommend this product for anyone who loves to skateboard - it's a step up in difficulty, but once mastered, it offers much more flexibility.
Customer Rating:      Summary: So much fun! Comment: My ten-year-old son had been wanting this for so long. I finally gave in! He loves it! He takes it with him whenever we head outside.
Customer Rating:      Summary: AWESOME!!! Comment: RipStik ~~ What a great idea! My kids love their RipStiks!!! They learned to ride in about 15 minutes. We put on our helmets, knee pads, elbow pads, etc., but there were no falls! They were riding wonderfully in day or two. An EXCELLENT form of exercise!!!!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Awesome Comment: I got this for my 10 year old. He picked it up quickly and loves it!
Customer Rating:      Summary: From a college student... Comment: Speaking as a twenty-one year old college student I can confidently say that the Ripstik is one of the best purchases I have made in the recent past. It makes getting around campus exponentially easier. Sure, lots of people ride skateboards/long boards around here, but with the Ripstick one can propel oneself UPHILL. This makes it a breeze to get to classes/lunch/meetings/whatever (and invokes some serious jealousy from the 'pure boarders' out there. And yes, it's very fun to ride. The first day I got it I spent well over five hours riding around the neighborhood and campus (this with ABSOLUTELY NO SKATEBOARDING EXPERIENCE!). This is a heck of a lot easier than it looks, I promise. Have fun! :)

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. Comes with an instructional DVD. Measures 33.5" long x 10" wide. Weighs 8 lbs. Wear helmet and pads for safety. 90-day warranty.
