My Ripstik is awesome. Any eleven year old boy would want this. I can do so much with it, like stunts, wheelies, and Ripstik battles. During a Ripstik battle, two Ripstik users are trying to knock each other off by only hitting the other Ripstik.

I play with it almost every day and haven't experienced any major problems. Even though mine is worn out, it still works as good as new. According to other reviews, you can use this for at least five years and it can still hold you up.

Be aware that every time you use this, the wheels wear down. Last year, I used the Ripstik so much that the rubber on the wheels wore down to the plastic on the inside. You will have to get new wheels to fix that. Also, sometimes if you use the Ripstik too much, the wheels stop moving. To fix this, you have to rotate the wheels very fast while putting grease on them.

It is very sleek and smooth. Since this is a Ripstik Brights, the colors shine. After using the Ripstik a lot, the colors wear down until they appear dull and muted. Either way, the Ripstik still gets a lot of attention.

We bought this for my daughter's 11th birthday and she loves it! The red and blue are different from the usual colors you can buy in a retail store, so hers is unique in our neighborhood. It seems well made. I gave it 4 stars since she fell and fractured her arm the first day she had it, on a part of our cul de sac with a slight incline with a turn. She's ridden this same incline/turn on her friend's ripstick many times without falling. Probably just a fluke, but a trip to the emergency room on the first day of use costs 1 star!

Very satisfying! This provides great exceecise for my legs. Takes about three days to master but it's totally worth it. The shipping took a while and the packaging was crooked. I also had to press down on the front part as it was popping out. I have had one of these before and had a great experience, good product for price. I bought the orange and teal one, it's even more beautiful than in the picture. LOVE.👠IT! ðŸ‘

Have to say this RipStik has given my 10 and 12 year old hours of fun. Takes a bit of time to learn basic skills but they soon had it sorted and began to experiment with tricks. Great looking and sturdy board and good value for money.
Recommend helmet etc especially as learning.

My daughter had to have this for her birthday. After a long and cold hunt for her gift ( It was a cold November morning and I didn't want to go outside to get it from hiding) she found it and proceeded to try to ride it all day. Took a couple days, but she's got it now, rides it all over our small town. It has been fun watching the adults try to figure out how to get on this thing.
