RipStik Caster Board (G 15055030 reen)
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 without 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. The buyer and rider of all RipStiks are responsible for knowing and obeying all local, state and federal regulations regarding the riding and use of all Razor products.Best described as a cross between a skateboard and a snowboard, the green RazorX Ripstik caster board is the perfect ride for kids looking for the next big thrill.

Durable and Fun My son bought a knock off brand ripstick which cracked and fell apart within the first week. He had such fun on it though, that he decided he wanted a good quality one. He has a blast on this Ripstick (he is fourteen) and has had it for about a month now with hours and hours of street time and it’s still in great shape, even the wheels haven’t worn down much at all. He has tried a skateboard and prefers riding the Ripstik. After a little practice, it is easier to balance on and to control…
but it is a great toy!
Loved it!
