 From a college student... November 8, 2008
Speaking as a twenty-one year old college student I can confidently say that the Ripstik is one of the best purchases I have made in the recent past. It makes getting around campus exponentially easier. Sure, lots of people ride skateboards/long boards around here, but with the Ripstick one can propel oneself UPHILL. This makes it a breeze to get to classes/lunch/meetings/whatever (and invokes some serious jealousy from the 'pure boarders' out there. And yes, it's very fun to ride. The first day I got it I spent well over five hours riding around the neighborhood and campus (this with ABSOLUTELY NO SKATEBOARDING EXPERIENCE!). This is a heck of a lot easier than it looks, I promise. Have fun! :)

I brought the ripstick today 11/19/08 and I must say that this thing is great. I'm 42 and love the outdoors like biking kayaking etc... When I first saw this thing I said you got to be kidding me how do you ride this thing. I was looking for something to exersice with around the house besides my trailbike. I looked and looked at different types of equipment I even got a stationary bike but it is just not what I wanted. I was going to get the Trikke but the cost is too much and very hard to ride. Then I looked at the Ripstick again and said, "hmmm I wonder if I could really ride this thing". I looked up how to ride it on youtube and said MY GOSH this thing is easy to ride. I got up early this morning and let me tell you it is a blast to ride I think it is easier than a skateboard. For you old school just remember the song The Twist and you will be riding in no time. Even though it says on the warning that the max weight is 220lbs, let's just say that I got a extra 35lbs that I need to loose lol but it handles great. I even taught my son and he wants one now. Heck I might even make a video on how to ride it for beginners. Well I say if you thought about it, get it you will like it maybe even love it once you get the hang of it.
Pretty in pink! October 15, 2008
My daughter was thrilled with the color...this is also a really high quality, durable carving board. My kids LOVE them!
 My son loves it! October 6, 2008
I got this for my 11 year old son and was kind of worried that it would be one of those toys that got used once and then left in the back of the toy closet, but that has not been the case. He loves it and was able to get the hang of riding it pretty quickly. It's a great toy for an active boy.

Hi I'm 12 years old. This summer I was at my beach house, and I saw my cousins ripstik in a shed. I'd heard of the ripstik, but I thought it would be impossible to learn. But I was bored, so I picked it up and tried it. At first I stunk. really. But over two days I practiced. Within two days I got good enough to ride it to town. I HAD to have it. I couldn't take it and I ran to walmart and bought it. It's been one of my best product choices. I still love it, it's easy to learn and you should should just buy it now.
If your still reading you haven't bought it yet.
BUY IT!!!!
I'm waiting...
see ya on the streets!
