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 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.

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
