Best described as a cross between a skateboard and a snowboard, the blue RazorX Ripstik caster board is the perfect ride for kids looking for the next big thrill. The board is distinguished by its pivoting deck and 360-degree inclined caster trucks, which offer a snowboard-like carving ability. A simple weight transfer lets you turn or accelerate without pushing, just like when you're carving down the slopes.<p> In addition, 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. The board also comes with a free <I>How to Ride</I> DVD. <p> <strong>Key Features:</strong><ul> <li>Inclined caster trucks <li>Concave deck platforms <li>Traction plates <li>Kick nose <li>Kick tail <li>Rubber-padded handle <li>Torsion bar <li>76-millimeter polyurethane wheels <li>High-performance ABEC-5 bearings <li>For ages 8+ <li>220-pound rider weight capacity </ul><p>
