5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect For Beginners!, February 11, 2010

Bitoy (Manila, Philippines) - See all my reviews
This is our family's first Ripstik and all I can say is "wow". My eleven year old daughter asked me to get her this. I'm a 40 year old father and after a few hours, I'm hooked! The following week I bought myself a Ripstik-G (which I believe is similar to the original) and that's how I got to compare them.

And oh, never try anything for the first time without ample protection. Wrist pads in particular. You'll find out why when you fall. And believe me, you don't want to.

-The Ripstik Air is a tad shorter than the Risptik G. If you have a wide stance, go for G.

-Air is also lighter than G, which makes it great for people who can do jumps which I can't... yet. G stands for "grind" which I don't do... yet. And yes it's heavier than Air which makes it more stable in my opinion.

-Air has that sandpaper feel on the deck which gives a real good grip for almost any type of shoes and makes it safer especially for kids. I tried riding the G wearing... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Far Superior, May 7, 2010
The ripstik air is the best ripstik by far. The original is great and all, but the air has many better qualities. I've had the opportunity to ride all versions of the ripstik and this is my favorite. It rides smoother and more quiet to the point that I can make a phone call while riding. It causes much less strain on your legs and ankles so you can ride longer. It is overall a better and higher quality ripstik.

Two years Later:

I am just editing the review after a few years and i realized that i forgot to mention something, after extreme use for a long time, the sticker on top begins to peel off of the board. I called customer service and they do not cover that item, without the sticker on the caster board the grip on the board is significantly decreased. Since i bought this item, the price has gone down and I would still recommend this item to any ripstik enthusiast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly as expected!, December 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
Great service! UPS took my RipStik on a wild ride 200 miles out of the way before actually delivering it, but it arrived in perfect condition.
Very similar to other RipStik boards in the way it rides.
Springs don't push the wheels back into their exact proper place after some use, but it's nothing to worry about, is correctable, and doesn't affect the ride.
Beware: you may look somewhat silly when starting out. Dermis damage is also quite probable on the first try.

Things to consider before buying a RipStik:

Will it be useful as a mode of transportation?
. My book bag is too heavy for riding a RipStik to class. You really can't carry much while riding on them. The more you carry, the
. more it throws off your center of gravity, making it difficult to ride.

Will you have a place to ride it?
. On well-maintained sidewalks and roads, there is no problem, but the RipStik is far more difficult to
. ride over bumps... Read more
