RipStik Caster Board
If you can imagine crossing a snowboard with a skateboard, then add in some surfing action, then you're starting to get an idea of what the RipStik is all about. This hot new toy designed for kids age 8 and up offers a real thrill ride on dry land. Two things make the RipStik caster board really stand out. First of all, you can carve just like you're riding a snowboard. Second, you can start moving and accelerate without having to push off. The RipStik even comes with a DVD showing you how to ride it along with important safety tips.
Users have given the RipStik high marks for fun, durability and "gee-that's-awesome-what-is-it" reactions from people who see them riding it. Best of all, it gets the kids back outside breathing fresh air and soaking up some vitamin D (you know, from the sunshine). Retail prices run from $130 to $150, but you can get the Ripstik Caster Board for less at Amazon.
