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

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.

Purchased as an Xmas gift for my step kids and they love it! No issues with any wheels coming loose or quality.

10-year old granddaughter loves it! She has good balance and caught on quickly. Update: I bought another one for my 12-year old grandson. He loves it too. Both use it indoors and out and said it’s the best birthday present.

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

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

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!

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.
