Skateboarding Trickery Coming to the Ripstik

All around the world, kids and even adults are tricking out on their new Ripstik Caster Boards. Like on the traditional four-wheeled skateboard, riders all over are performing sweet tricks with success like the heelflip, wheelie, grind, 360, ollie and even drop-ins on a half pipe. Video sharing sites like YouTube are flooded with such Ripstick videos.

Learning to ride the Ripstik may be a little harder than learning on a skateboard, because the Ripstick requires some unique balancing skills. However, with skateboarding proficiency under your belt, it is certainly much easier to learn. But regardless, with the right amount of practice, you can learn to do all of your skateboard tricks on your Ripstik. You'll soon see just how much fun the Ripstick can be!

From coast to coast and from continent to continent, swimming pools, half pipes and streets are filled with Ripstik riders trying to one-up each other. It's all the rage right now and it seems you see one every time you turn the corner. It won't be long before we'll see professional Ripstik riding circuits with big corporate sponsors jumping on board. It's just a matter of time.

Fortunately for new riders, the Ripstick is far more affordable than a new skateboard. For as little as $90, you can have your very own high-end Ripstik called the Ripstik DLX. This high-performance caster board features ABEC-7 bearings, Aluminum torsion Bar for grinds, carbon fiber deck graphics and 76mm urethane wheels. The Ripstick comes in a variety of colors, including blue, red, silver, green, pink and more so you can get the one that best fits your style.

So pick up your own Ripstik today and start carving like you would on a snow board or surf board. Without ever touching the ground, you'll have the time of your life!
