RipStik Ripster Caster Board - Blue - FFP , 9 inch

Why did you pick this product vs others?: The size is perfect for my 13 years old son. The material is strong and durable. It is a fun board to use outside.

I almost broke my tailbone trying it out...and I used to skate. So it was a bit humbling. But get some speed and carve into it and it w9rks. This is sized for a kid and it was for my son and he's already a wiz at it. Not the most efficient way to ride, but it is very fun and you can carve almost like a snowboard, so that's a good time. Just know there is a learning curve, so don't give up on hour one. Even learning to ride a bike takes some time.

My 9 year old and 12 year old both LOVE riding their rip stick. It's amazing how quickly they learned to balance and use it. I bought one for Christmas for my oldest and then ended up buying a second one for my youngest son, so they could each have their own. Great product.

I got this for my son's birthday and he LOVES it. He's really hard on it and it's still working great. It's not made cheap or it would have been broken by now as many times as he's slammed it into things. My son is 12 and just over 100 pounds so it's really durable.

We bought this for our son (8) for Christmas and he loves it! It is stiffer than I had expected which is a little difficult for him to move but the more the is using it the more it is loosening up.

This product is a definite 5! We bought it for my granddaughter, and I was really hoping she wasn't going to break her neck. I'm parked it at 3 for easy-to-use, because I have no idea how she's done it. She is a whiz on it! She got it for her ninth birthday, and Zips around within inches of her siblings without bumping into them. She's learned to shoot hoops while on it, take it on long walks with me, and even can scoop down and pick up toys while she keeps the momentum going. It's a tricky little thing, but this if this is something that they're looking for, this brand has certainly not disappointed!

My son has a lot of fun with this. I think it’s best suited for a kid who already knows how to skateboard pretty well. This toy is quiet compared to a skateboard, so it’s nice to use when the noise of a skateboard isn’t wanted. Very fun!

We purchased this for my son for Christmas of 2017. He’s only used it since December 25,2017 and today is March 11,2018. The wheel is already broken. If you look closely at the pictures, you can see that the bolts that are applied to the wheel from the inside of the board are floating around in there. So it broke from the inside. So frustrating as he loves this board. I wish it would have lasted longer. Edited 2018. I contacted the company after this broke and they sent me a full replacement. Their customer service team was so friendly and helpful. It’s hard to find great customer service these days, so I really appreciate when a company stands behind their products. It’s been several months now since we’ve received the new and my son has had HOURS of play on it with no issues. Thank you RipStick company for fixing the issue for us. I will definitely purchase from this company again because of my experience with their customer services team.
