In this video, I show you how to ride the Ripstik. It is fun! It is like a skate board but with two caster wheels, two independent platforms and a torsion bar connecting them. I am practicing in an empty parking lot with all the protective gear, including my helmet, wrist guards and knee pads. To start of learning, I used a wall as support and practiced getting on and off the rip stik. You have to kick off with your front foot on the front platform and then place your rear foot on the rear platform. Once you find your balance, you can propel yourself forward by pumping on the ripstik. This involves a snake like motion to move the ripstik left and right. I practice moving around the parking lot in figure 8s. I also put obstacles to weave around them. I even practice riding fakie, with my weak right foot forward. And lastly, I even try raising the front of the ripstik in the air. This is my one month progress report. I got this ripstik a month ago because I thought it would be a lot of fun, so I am still learning how to ride it. If any of you have any tips, please share them in the comments below. Thanks for watching! I hope you liked this video. If you did, please click like, comment or subscribe.
