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

- Kick tail
- Rubber-padded handle
- Torsion bar

It's better than a skateboard! July 6, 2008
I got the the ripstik and it's awesome!First of all it's easy to master and it's easier to use than it looks.If you have some trouble to decide whether to get a skateboard or a ripstik ,choose the ripstik.Second of all, it's very quick and you don't have to jump to turn.You can even go uphill by doing a furious twist.I have fallen of it once or twice,but it's very easy and fun to ride.Thanks for reading this review! Ripstik > skateboard
 GREAT FUN! July 5, 2008
YAY! THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT. IT'S A LITTLE EXPENSIVE THOUGH AND I HAVE GOTTEN INJURED ON MINE, BUT IT WASNT BAD. I REALLY LOVE MINE, BUT YOU MUST HAVE A LOT OF PATIENCE TO LEARN TO RIDE IT.
fun!!!!!! June 29, 2008
this is a very fun and fast little board! it has awsome speed and and can go up hills! it has a future look to it and goes really fast... i almost beat my friend down a hill while he was on a bike!
Difficult to master, but amazingly fun June 25, 2008
Whereas some people have been saying this product stinks for them, my experiences say that this is only due to the rider, not the board. My nine year old daughter and twelve year old son spent two days learning how to ride, frustrated at the difficulty level, but on the third afternoon, they figured out how to make it pivot repeatedly, and they have been riding for a month now for almost an hour a day with smiles on their faces.
No regrets June 22, 2008
Since i purchased the Ripstick Caster Board my kids spend more time outdoors that means less tv and video games too! just what i was looking for i love it.
