Razor RipStik Ripster, compact lightweight caster board, for kids 8+

10-year old granddaughter loves it! She has good balance and caught on quickly. I want to try it — but first, I need a lot of protective gear.

Incredible. I got it for my kid and its amazing! Use a helmet

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 son loves it. Wear a helmet!

My 12 year old loved this for his Christmas gift. 💝

This is our second ripstick--the first one my kid lost over a year ago. He forgot about the lost one but I didn't and I gave him a new one for Christmas. He was shakey at first when he started trying to use it again, and I wondered whether he would regain interest. Then on a rainy, cold day he realized he could ride it around in circles inside the house, moving through a circuit of rooms around the main floor. We have hardwood floors, so this is do-able. I have been inspecting he floors and do not see wear and tear yet--but I am obviously going to have to put a stop to it if I see scratches or a pattern of wear. I do think this would be better for a house with luxury vinyl planks or ceramic floors. He has steadily improved, only sometimes stumbling at floor transition spots or losing balance while executing a turn, making a loud banging and falling sound. He will gently cruise by me in the afternoons after school, sometimes even checking his phone while I am typing on my keyboard in my office (I tell him to stop). Sometimes he rides through and just talks a bit as he enters and before he exits.

I bought this product primarily because I missed having fun with this as a child. Having ridden both the adult-sized ripstick (ripstick G) and the ripster, my personal preference would be this one as to me it feels more agile and can maneuver around smaller spaces. It does however feel less stable at higher speeds if going downhill. Regardless, I absolutely love it and the color that I chose. This will for sure make getting to and from classes on my university campus much for enjoyable and cut down on some walking time as well.I received the ripster within 2 weeks and it came as advertised without a scratch. Still made durable as I remember them to be.If you're a parent and looking for some type of gift to get for your kid or even teen, or if you're my age and just wanna get this to have some fun at a skate park or ride around your community; I would still go for this.

My son got this on his 8th B'day. Before I bought this, I had looked at the Caster Board which my son found a little difficult to get on and get going. But as this is bit smaller, I was not sure if this will be too small for him or as this can take significantly lesser weight as compared to caster board, for how long he will actually be able to use it.Once this arrived, all my doubts were cleared. This my son found very easy to get on and in just about 3-4 hours of practice could do most of the things. In fact, this not just he, but also older kids who had the caster board, found to much more maneuverable and easy to control.He is using it for about a month now and the quality of RipStik is excellent. Absolutely no issues on any front. Now my son can do the Caster Board, Wave board, but he keeps coming back to his RipStik as he finds it to be most comfortable. The only time he does not likes it is when he is racing with his friends where the bigger Caster Board is an obvious winner. But otherwise, he loves moving on it and even inside the house, going from room to room.He practically uses it to go everywhere where he can/could go walking. And I think the compact size does helps.A great great product of extremely superior quality.
