Ripstik G for the Most Fun You’ve Ever Had
It’s a skateboard, it’s a snow board, no it’s a ripstik g! A ripstik is a hybrid of a skateboard with features like both a skateboard and a snow board. The ripstik g caster board has a pivoting deck with 360 degree inclined caster trucks that gives you the ability to carve the pavement like you are on a snow board. The pivoting deck lets you use your body’s weight to power the board to go uphill and move without pushing with one foot. The ripstik g has a spinning aircraft-grade aluminum “G” tube that gives you the extreme grinding possibilities for rail riding. It takes a couple of days to get used to the action of these boards but they are so worth it.
Ripstik G vs. DLX in Terms of Features
When you are considering buying a ripstik, you should consider comparing the features of the different versions like the ripstik g vs. DLX. There is actually not much difference except the ripstik g gives you a little more foot room than the DLX does which is the best board for cruising. The primary difference in the ripstik g and the DLX is that the g has a “G” tube that makes riding rails easier.
Ripstik G Tricks Made Easy with the G Tube
There are a number of ripstik g tricks that is made easier with the exclusive “G” tube. This acts like a third wheel letting you slide farther down a rail or curb than you have ever slid before. A slide jump is one of the more popular tricks where you gain some momentum, slide your board to the right, jerk your body to the right and do a sharp turn. You should fly into a spin jump from this trick.
Replacing Ripstik G Wheels
Some customers have commented that they run through the ripstik g wheels in a very short time. This may be but it shouldn’t be a problem since the ripstik g wheels are the same wheels that are on your inline skates. See saving those old skates will come in handy after all and they will save you some money in the end.
Powering the Razor Ripstik G
Powering the razor ripstik g is done with a simple rocking motion of your body weight. Instead of the old sandpaper style grips on a regular skateboard, the razor ripstik g has spiked traction pads that won’t let your feet slip even if they are wet. This makes turning as simple as learning to lean your body into the turn and makes tricks easier.
Sturdiness of the Ripstik G Caster Board
The ripstik g caster board is one of the sturdiest boards made. The torsion bar is made from some of the strongest aluminum available and the caster wheels have five bearings for a smooth ride. It is perfect for children ages 8 to 45 and will support up to 220 lbs of weight. This could make getting to work the best commute you have ever made.
