This is an excellent device. I am a 40 year old only “kind of” athletic man. I don’t know how to skateboard, but I was able to pick this up in about 20 minutes.
It is really a great device for getting a fun little workout in. And even better…if you happen to have kids in the 2-5 year old range, it is a great way to accompany them when they ride on their tricycle, scooter and bicycle (with training wheels). Let me explain why. If you are riding on a bike and your kid is on a trike or a bicycle then they are going *painfully* slow. You will be constantly waiting for them. But on this little beastie, you will have to bust your ass to keep up with them on bike. You can go at a fairly comfortable clip when they are on a scooter. And if they are on a trike, then you can go in largish circles.
You are entertained, they are entertained. Everyone is happy. And you are helping to stave off the inevitable softening of your body.
It is *very* durable. I am 200 pounds and I beat the bejeesus out of this thing.
I do not agree with criticism that this is overpriced. It is well made and stands up to some abuse.
NOTE: I do *not* do the fancy pants skater tricks on it. So maybe it would break if I did that. Not an issue for me.

And thanks to the 76mm polyurethane wheels and precision ABEC-5 bearing casters, skaters will enjoy a smooth ride on almost any type of pavement. Designed for children 8 years and up, the Ripstik’s plastic end platforms and metal torsion beam support up to 220 pounds. The board also comes with a free How to Ride DVD.
