RipStik Classic

Revolutionary ground breaking caster board that acts like a skate board / snowboard hybrid. The pivoting deck and 360 degree caster trucks enable snow board like carving. The new Ripstik combines all the fun and excitement of surfing and snowboaring and puts it on only 2 Wheels.

It is suitable for all ages and supports weight up to 220 pounds/100 Kgs, it does not need more than few hours to get the rhythm and then you are ready to go and have fun.

The fun part of the Ripstik is that you do not need to keep pushing off the ground for more speed like you do for skate board or scooter you only need to balance back and forth, move your hips and a simple weight transfer lets you turn or accelerate without pushing.

It is totally silent and the independent steering of the front and the back wheels add a whole new dimension to the fun.
