Best described as a cross between a skateboard and a snowboard, the Ripstik caster board is distinguished by its pivoting deck and 360-degree inclined caster trucks, which offers a snowboard-like carving ability. The RipStik "G" features a spinning aircraft-grade aluminum "G" tube in the center for extreme grinding action. Like the original Ripstik, the "G" moves you forward with a simple weight transfer that lets you turn or accelerate without pushing--just like when you're carving down the slopes.

Customer Reviews ::




8-year-old boy loves it - J. ZENG - Austin, TX, United States
I bought this for my younger son as a B-day gift. He absolutely loves it. In fact, his elder brother follows him for a chance to play it (usually it is the other way around). The younger one is rough on any toy and the older one is over 5'10" and 165L. At first I was worried about the wheels based on some reviews. Now we have had it for over a month. The boys play it every single day. It shows some wear and tear on both edges and wheels, but nothing too bad. So in my opinion it is durable.
