Ripstick By Spike Peterium on Apr 04, 2009 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

The ripstick is kind of like a skateboard, only with two wheels. You can turn on a dime. Just wiggle your hips and have a good sense of balance is all you have to do to ride it. Its tricky at first to ride. But you get used to it. over a hill, on asphault, sometimes even is grass, the ripstick can menuver almost anywhere. the Hitide is something like it, the exact same thing. The ripstick is just easier to ride. You can do kickflips, ollies, and even ride it with one foot. Many people prefer the hitide because it is way cheaper, but it doenst ride as well. The ripstick is a great gift for any eight year old or over. It comes with a dvd that shows you how to ride it if you get the special edition. I love my ripstick, do you, do you eve have one, if you like to have one, i would recommed the ripstick for you. Its great for outdoor walks with your family and you can ride it almost anywhere. i love my ripstick. They swivel. they are also called wave boards.
