RipStick Two-wheel Articulated Skate Board Feels Like Snowboarding

Posted by Seamus Byrne at 4:22 AM on July 13, 2007
Here's the new RipStik Caster Board. Or like my brother the ER traumatologist likes to call it: "BUSINESS!" For $200 you will be able to carve that asphalt using this skateboard with a central flexible articulation system and just two wheels. All the technical details for the too-cool-for-school boys and girls right after the jump. According to their web page, it behaves like a snowboard and magically "accelerates and turns without pushing."
