KidzGear: RipStik Caster Board
New Board Blends the Carving of Surfing and Snowboarding for Dry Land
The RipStik Caster Board fills a year-round craving for those who engage in these sports on a seasonal level due to geographic challenges. Melding the motions of surfing and snowboarding, the RipStik blends the anatomy of both action sports in one distinctive ride with an innovative and fun design. This concave board design makes the RipStik easy to learn and features a cutting-edge kick tail and raised nose.
Riders can carve downhill like a snowboarder or rocket uphill, all by slightly bending their knees and twisting their hips. This body action stimulates the board to move in an "S" shaped motion that is responsible for continuously propelling the RipStik forward with no pushing required.
As the street surfing craze continues to ride through southern California - an area known to many as a surf mecca - RipStik is at the forefront of the trend with a one-of-a-kind board that let's anyone indulge their passion for action sports.
The RipStik features:
Plastic end platforms that rotate independently are connected by metal torsion bar, giving the rider the ability to tilt for sharp turns, execute precision moves and perform front side and backside 360s
Poly-urethane wheels with ABEC 5 bearings on 360 degree inclined casters
Traction pads on each platform
Kick tail and raised kick nose with concave design for tricks and improved footing
The RipStik is easy to learn and for use by riders 8 years and up (maximum weight of 220 pounds). It is available in red, blue, green, silver and pink at a suggested retail of $129.99. An instructional DVD, "How to Ride," is included with exclusive tips and tricks.
Our Rippin' Riders will take a test drive on the boards to give an insider's look at how the boards perform. Their excitement is worth repeating:
"I LOVE the pink board. It is AWESOME!"
"Watch the video? Nahhh... I'm going for it!"
"It's really easy to ride, it's the tricks that will get you. I need practice."
