Summary: My son loves this
Comment: I bought this for my son because he is such a good boy and deserved something as a reward for being such a good kid. This is what he wanted. He lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvves it. He rides it back and forth to school. He uses it as often as he can. I'm so glad I got it for him because he has soooo much fun with it and I love to see him happy.

Summary: Rip It!
Comment: I purchased this for my son's 12th birthday & he seems to enjoy it! At first he was a little off balance then after trying a few times he got the hang of it. Also his friends came over with their skateboards & before you knew it they all wanted to use the RipStik?

I may even give it a go, if I can ever take my flipflops off & put on a pair of sneakers, as it seems like fun!

Summary: Really cool board!
Comment: My 12 year old had been wanting one of these caser boards for some time, and I had wondered how sucessful he would be in learning to ride it. After a bit of research and checking out the different models at local stores we ordered him the DLX from Amazon. He has taken to this thing "like a duck to water" and rides the thing every day. The engineering of this board is really quite interesting. It is well made and seems as if it will last a long time. My only recommendation is this...if you buy one and enjoy riding it, go ahead and stock up on some extra wheels. As I mentioned he has been riding this thing like mad...mostly on concrete and asphalt. After about 6 weeks the rear wheel is completly gone! The front wheel is worn a bit, but not nearly as bad. The wheels and bearings for the DLX are uique, and are not everywhere on the internet, but I did find them at the Razor web site. Overall, we think it is a great product!

Summary: ripstick review
Comment: My 11 year old grandson wanted this skateboard. I assumed that it was a skateboard with 4 wheels, 2 in the front and 2 in the back. When found out that it has only 1 wheel in the front and 1 wheel in the back I returned this skateboard and bought a conventional (Tony Hawk) skateboard.
I feel the skateboard that I returned was a broken ankle waiting to happen.

Summary: Ripstik Ripster vs DLX deluxe
Comment: I first bought the Ripstik Ripster on sale at BigLots for 50 bucks (Incidentally, am I the only one who gets confused by the naming of their products?). The Ripster I am referring to is the short, light version with the smaller 66mm wheels. I wanted something I could cruise around on while my wife jogs around the park and I'm a little too lazy to actually jog. I snowboard on occasion and thought this would be a great product to improve my balance and provide me a mild workout as well. Anyway, it turned out to be a lot of fun and the feeling of "sliding" down a mild slope was is a rather sublime one and it does kind of feel like snowboarding. I was able to balance and propel myself after an hour or so by myself (I practiced alone because I was too macho to let my wife see me make a fool out of myself). Anyway, after about a month of ownership, I finally had my first fall when the front wheel got caught in a groove and I landed hard. That started me thinking that I should try the larger model with bigger wheels for better stability and faster speed (these things don't go very fast on the flats). I ordered the DLX a few days ago and have been riding it for not too long but here are my first impression of the DLX: It looks a lot cooler but it weighs more by a couple of pounds which makes a difference. It feels like I have to "work" more to get where I want to go and more bulky when I have to lug it around areas I can't ride on when I go to the park with my wife. The bigger wheels are a mixed blessing because they feel more stable and I can go over bumps and grooves with more confidence than the ripster. I can also go downhill with more confidence because of the bigger 76mm wheels. The trade-off is that the DLX has less "feel" to it because it isolates you more from the road and consequently feels less fun. I'm a little saddened that the DLX does not seem to propel me significantly faster than the ripster on level roads. Overall, I'd say that I would suggest the DLX if you want the 220lb weight support, or if you travel over mixed roads, or longer distances (The DLX makes less road noise as well). Take the ripster if you want better feel, lighter weight and a cheaper price tag. Amazon is selling the Wave Board with even larger 77mm wheels for 84 bucks but I picked the ripstik because the DLX looks more streamline and a newer product (I was hoping newer meant more advance and better but I don't have a wave board to compare). I also ruled out the 80mm WhipTide because it didn't look enough like a board for me and there were not enough reviews on Amazon and youtube on the product for me to try another product. I may post another review later on if my opinion of the DLX changes or if I try the other products.
