RipStick Two-wheel Articulated Skate Board Feels Like Snowboarding

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.” outdoorAdv_RipStikDiagram.jpg

By the way, the video has no sound because I wanted you to save from the extremely annoying QVC-style voiceover. [RipStik Caster Board]

    Pedal Sport N Toys in Malaga, Perth WA sell the classic ripstiks for $150.00, the bigger stores can sell them cheaper but can’t keep up with demand, the smaller guys can’t compete with their prices, Pedals also sell the wheels although at the moment are waiting on new stock to arrive.

    they mostly sell goth and alternative – clothes jewellery etc, it cost $28 for delivery to new zealand, but when i bougth it – it was cheaper than $60 for the board, maybe it was on special
