BUY NOW IN TIME FOR CHRISTMASThe Classic Ripstick is Not Good Enough
The Ripstik G is the best caster board to date. The Ripstik G is the professional version of the standard Ripstik. The Ripstik G takes caster boards to the next level, the professional level. The new board includes some incredible new features that will make your riding experience much better. Some of these improvements are a spinning aluminum torsion bar, lighter weight and ABEC-7 bearings. You can ride faster, farther, more smooth and do more tricks then ever before with the new Ripstik G.
The greatest new feature I want to talk about first and that is the spinning aluminum torsion bar. Not only can you bust out all your old tricks but now you can grind on rails and curbs as smooth as butter, because the torsion bar spins. It no longer matters if it is a waxed steal grind bar or a bumpy sidewalk curb, the rolling torsion bar is smooth and takes your tricks to the next level. If you catch a small decline there is no saying how far you can grind with the new design. You are not going to slow down as quickly so you can rail slide further.
The new Ripstik G is lighter weight then the standard ripstik. Why does this matter? Well, any trick in which your board leaves the ground is going to be easier. Ollying, kick flips, launching off ramps are all going to be easier because of the newer light weight design. The trick that benefits the most is the kick flip. The main complaint I heard about trying a kick flip on a ripstik is that the board was too heavy. Not anymore. It is like kick flipping with a skateboard now. Not only that, but simply carrying the board around is going to be an easier chore due to its light weight.
The Ripstik G rides smoother and faster due to the upgraded ABEC-7 bearings. Compared to the standard ABEC-5 bearings, the new bearings main advantage is the smoothness of the ride. Riding smooth means riding faster, and more confidently. You do not need to worry about a little rock throwing you off your board because the new bearings smooth ride rolls right over the top of them. If you are in a race against normal ripstik or wave boards they do not have a chance of beating you. The fact is that the Ripstik G is the fastest caster board there is.
If you want to ride faster, smoother and bust out some sweet new tricks then an upgrade to the Ripstik G is a must. This board is perfect for the serious and great ripstik riders. Take this board to the skate park and you possibilities are endless. You will love how smooth and fast it rides, and you will be thrilled at the options the spinning torsion bar presents when trying new tricks. The Ripstik G caster board is the next level of caster boards and at this point there is nothing else out there that compares.
Not every kid out there finds the skateboard or rollerblades to be the most fun for them to ride. Although the popularity of the two sports are growing tremendously and are extremely fun within their own right, this article is about the other types of extremely fun boards out there. The extreme sport era is here and it is here to stay, so many other toys are being created to fulfill the urge to live extreme. First let us talk about the ever popular kick scooter. Scooter riding used to be for the kid who could not skate. Now you can check out kids doing 720's and back flips on scooters at youtube.com. The extreme has taken over kick scooters. Even if you cannot do a flip on the scooter they are being built today to be able to do some insane freestyle tricks as well as ride them on ramps. You cannot drive by a local skate park anymore without seeing some kid riding a kick scooter. Not only riding one but a lot of the time they are showing off just like the best skaters are. A kick scooter is a blast to ride and unlike some of the other popular boards you can pretty much open up a scooter jump on and ride. They are very easy to learn but just like anything they take a lot of time and practice to master.
Another hot board on the market right now is the caster board. The two most popular caster boards are the Ripstik and the Wave Board. These boards are designed so that the rider's feet never have to touch the ground. There are only two wheels and the boards completely twist and bend, purposely. Not only that but you can ride these boards at very fast speeds as well as stay balanced going slower then any board or scooter out there. You can make very tight and deliberate turns with the caster board. Riding down a street with people walking, you can just as easily weave through the people on your caster board as you can walk, the balance is amazing. Not only for just riding on the street but on these boards you can ride ramps, and bust out some incredible skateboard style tricks. One draw back is that you can only ride the board in one direction, but that does not stop you from doing kick flips, manuals, ollies, acid drops, hang nines, and tons more awesome tricks. I one time saw someone balance on a 137 foot curb and ride the whole thing. It was awesome. These boards are amazingly versatile, and you will find that you want to bring them wherever you go. It becomes easier to ride a caster board then walk after a while.
These are just a few of the new extreme styles of riding out there for young people. There are always new and inventive toys to look out for. Extremely fun and exciting to ride boards that you may have never tried are right around the corner. Give them a shot because you will probably find that you love them.
