Rip Stick

[Camoguy]

I didn't even know these things existed but my son showed me one at the local Wally World the other day. He wants one but I'm just thinking about it right now. What do you think of these things? When I was a kid, of course, I had a skateboard and that was it, but this thing flexes in the middle. Are they harder to learn to ride than a skateboard?

My daughter and and her friends have them.

My son has one and he loves it. It's a bit more versatile than our old skateboards. He rides it like he has always had it attached to his feet.

They aren't really that much different than skateboards. They have a bit less foot space but other than that, they are pretty much the same.
