The Ripstik is a recreational caster board, manufactured by Razor, a recreational product designer. Because of the way the boards move by the X-axis, it is very similar to The Wave, though the Ripstik has a longer torsion bar and smaller boards.

Wheels

Wheels generally wear after a 2–3 month period depending on the terrain in which the board is used and the skill of the rider. The rear wheel always wears faster than the front, as the majority of forward propulsion is rendered by the sideways motion of the rear caster. RipStik wheels are 76 mm in diameter and are made of polyurethane. The stock wheel bearings for the standard RipStiks are rated ABEC-5, and DLX models have ABEC-7 bearings. The "DLX" has faster ABEC-7 bearings.

RipStik "G"

The RipStik G allows riders to grind on their torsion bar which is made out of aluminium. They also have different castors. Other then that the features are exactly the same as you regular ripstik.

RipStik "DLX"

The "DLX" is more expensive, because it has the aluminum torsion bar which allows for grinding, as well as ABEC-7 bearings.
