5 Things you didn't know about Ripstiks. 

it pivots around that pivot....lol

There’s a caster board that has four wheels, it has two wheels on each half that are in line with each other. You can’t really do tricks with it but I lend it out to people who want to learn because it gets double the strength when you pump it and it’s a lot more stable going over cracks and bumps. Just though someone here would be interested.

This is more so a video on the physics of a Ripstik versus that of a skateboard.

Why am I watching this?

Very well made video. I love your explanations and work put into the examples!!!

Take a shot every time he says pivot

What where the string for on the longboard and why was it so loose

Very informative. Thank you!

My buddy can do small power slides with a rip stick. gotta go kinda fast and squat down with arms forwards. I can't do it though, he's just an alien.

could you push along on a space deck?

Can you put the longboard wheels on a ripstik?

What is your longboard deck

You Should Put a sponge on your camera microfone that way theres no anoying sound from the wind

Do they break plz reply

if there was 2 separate casters on each end for a total of four wheels it would still work as intended?

When do you get to the stuff we didn't know ?

Awesome video man

why are there strings on your wheels

they are wedge/dewedge with reversed rear trucks. That would suck to learn after surfing for 20 years... lol

I've seen some ripsticks with a memory of position, like a memory swivel, do you think is it only for stability or it would help to conserve the energy? What I'm trying to understand is if the memory of position in a carver (that get thanks to his spring) his a matter of giving stability or also a need to reuse the energy of your swing. Damn, I tried all this stuff, but I don't have it with me to test various configurations. From your video I get that the inclination the plate by it self is actually giving a sort of light memory of position to the wheel. Thanks for sharing your ideas, we are a small audience, but is great to get input to work on other ideas.

i dont even know how i got here but i learned a lot. don't know what to do with this information, though

that explanation of how a ripstick works is false.

pivot .. pivot around the pivot

I use a long dlx

This guy has Bill Nye the science guy's voice lol

Backwards trucks 0:50 ?

Ripsticks do get speed wobble. I would know

Ripstick not ripstik

life

i thing i didn't know you can ride it

drang doobie?

You do know your truck on the back is on the wrong way

Clickbait, reported.

why are u wearing a helmet lol

boy you be lying! try bombing a big hill and see what happens... i have and speed wobble does happen on a ripstik. probably still got the scars too. also trying to snake the hill doesn't work you just keep speeding up in a straightish line.

the only thing I know about caster wheels is that they are pretty gay.

Ripstick slides are easy just learn the technique

Excellent explanation. I appreciate your understanding of physics and mechanics and supporting your experimentation in everyday language.

1. Why are your trucks so loose? 2. Where are your washers? 3. Why is your rear Ronin mounted backwards?

Why am I still watching this???

I just saw the video and I would like to say thank you. Good preparation and presentation. I Am 48 yr and I started to use Oxelo before 3 months with my children. It's very lovely and enjoyable. If it's possible to prepare a video about how to ollie or jump on sidewalk on the streets would be very nice. Thanks again

Nice video. Good use of understanding of forces and mechanical physics.

The main difference is that the skateboard has 4 wheels and the ripstik has 2 wheels

Wait...wait a minute... Are you saying it pivots on the pivot because that's the pivot?😏

Do you get a beginner friendly casterboard by putting a longboard truck on the front? Casterboards can get speed wobble if there isn't enough weight on the back and your going over a rough surface.

The StreetSurfing Shark Attack is a nice Hybrid of Casterboard and SurfSkate. And I still think the best Casterboard for pumping and cruising was the Timberwolf Cruzor with 4 wheels in-line. RipSkate and Xlider are also great, next I will test an old WhipTide.

I tried to make a video, to discribe how to ride the Unicycle. It'sa mouthful to get out. You did a very good job at verbalizing it. Good theory. Thanks. From : Toronto Canada. G.

I've slid on a ripstik. I started to brake my old one, and I suppose my dad threw it away. This Christmas I'm getting a new one

Don't know if someone posted, but you should look into freebords, the perfect mix between coaster and longboard.

Just want to know how to slow down going down hill without taking too much space to stop

I ride ripstick downhill and cant wait to try the 2wheel in the back to get some longer slides! Wish me luck thanks for the idea.🤙

My Caster board would wobble at very high speed, downhill. Was controllable, but my wheels were pretty fucked up too

What about a comparison with a surf/skate board, like carver, smoothstar etc?

Alot of this isnt true

great video, very informative, thank you.

great video, by the way what's the main difference between a whiptide and a ripstik?

I'm going to have to disagree with you about speed wobble on a normal longboard or skateboard. if you let either board roll over the crest of the hill with its own inertia you would see the board isn't wobbling and will glide down the hill. This is because it is the rider that is wobbling; the faster you travel smaller motions are needed to achieve a change in direction. imagine changing lanes at 100mph on the freeway over 60mph the amount of force needed to change lanes is much less while traveling at 100 then it is at 60. The same principal is true here but in this case slight changes in the riders footing and balance start a sort of snowball effect gradually increasing until the rider is pitched if not controlled. Speed wobble can be greatly reduced even when riding looooose trucks simply by getting into a proper speed tuck and keeping your legs and thighs tight to absorb the vibrations just like shocks on a car. :)

Nice shoes bruh

how should I tighten the pivot point?

Where did u get that

That's a nice downhill board you got there. Rain wheels and all haha.

Wait... Why does mine stop when i lean forward......the front wheel stops

as a waveboarder, i can assure you that thats true, i go to the skatepark often too

Too much talk, but no action. Just ride the freaking thing

I know this is an old video but what are the wheels on the longboard in the video?

Can a adult ride the mini ripstik? Or should they get the regular one ?

Crazy good explanations thx

Why is that front truck on backwards

I'm wearing headphones and its almost as loud like I'm in my band class! Witch is really loud! Too muh wind...

okay this video is hurting my brain i thought you would have had some common seance and known that the trucks on a skate board/longboard are very different you can't even compare the 2 and you can still get speed wobbles on a ripstick and fucking tighten your bloody trucks there no point in having bushings if your trucks are that loose...have a nice day :)

Do a vid on Ronins without board-side bushings!

I have that one

T

You should have kept your feet horizontal and if you're going to dis the ripstick antleast learn to ride it properly before you do so k

Why is you back truck on backwards

I knew all of that stuff. But anyway nice vid i subscribed.

how did i go this deep into youtubes grasp

The loosest trucks skate board

riding my rs while watching this lol

I knew everything that you sed I didn't

Wait, what just happened now?

that not how you turn on a ripstik

what board is that wood one

physics...

How loose are your trucks?

Wrong way

nice one

hi

poop.

Why were your ronins facing in the same direction?

This is actually such a good video

omaigod

I knew all of that

Keep it short and simple to understand👍

you clearly have no idea how it works because most of the things you said about turning and movement is wrong. sliding your feet in the same direction for movement will work but is less effective than alternating your feet back and forth. for turning if you do turn too hard with both of your feet pointing in the same direction (up or down) the board will skid, turning them in opposite direction will accomplish a tighter turn than a wider turn that is done when both feet are in the same direction. it is kind of like snowboarding the same way to turn a snowboard is how you turn a ripstick. also in the video at around 12:44 I can clearly see that you throw your back foot outward causing the board to skid. and clearly by watching this video there are 10 things that YOU don't know about Ripsticks

Your front truck is on back words

Who can hear Ross say Pivot?

Do ripsurf!!!

Boooooooorig
