A simple weight transfer lets you turn or accelerate without pushing, just like when you're carving down the slopes.The Ripstik's unique twisting motion moves you forward with out ever pushing off the ground.The board offers such features as spiked traction pads, a kick tail and nose, and a concave deck design, which combine to improve your foot control--a must for tricks. 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.Key Features:Inclined caster trucksConcave deck platformsTraction platesKick noseKick tailRubber-padded handleTorsion bar76-millimeter polyurethane wheelsHigh-performance ABEC-5 bearingsFor ages 8 years and older220-pound rider weight capacity
