Summary: AWESOME!
Comment: My daughter LOVES LOVES this! It took about a week to get the balance but once she did she has NOT stopped! It is a GREAT "Core" workout and is fun so she doesn't even think it's exercise...just fun! The cool thing with this is how you can go up hill once you learn how to do the weaving back and forth motion (a friend showed her). So it is better than a skate board - you can go uphill weaving then turn around and coast back down hill. One caution -- don't go downhill too fast becasue there is really no good way to stop other than jumping off. My daughter says there is no way to stop because you will loose balance so you can only jump off! -- WEAR HELMETS and KNEE PADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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!!!!!

Let it rip like never before! The Razor RipStik Caster Board's inline caster trucks and pivoting deck provide snowboard-like carving ability. The unique torsion bar allows acceleration and turning without pushing. The deck is concave for increased foot control, and features traction plates, kick-tail and kick-nose. The torsion bar also acts as a padded rubber handle for easy transport. RipStik features 76mm polyurethane wheels and high-performance ABEC-5 bearings for a smooth ride. The Razor RipStik comes with a free "How to Ride" DVD. Read and understand the enclosed owner's manual before riding. Safety equipment such as a helmet is recommended. Check local laws and regulations to see where and how you may use your RipStik. No assembly required. Adult supervision recommended. Measures 34"L x 9"W x 4.5"H. Holds up to 220 lbs.
