Ripstiks

If you've ridden a ripstik you will know how fun they are. I got in to ripstik when my neighbour had a baby sitter looking after him and his sister for the school holidays. She brought around two ripstiks for them to ride. Now with a ripstik you can't just get on it and ride it, it takes a lot of practice to be able to ride it. It took me a long time to learn how to ride a ripstick. 

With ripstiks, you can't ride them like a skateboard. It's really tricky to get the hang of it. You need to put your left foot on the front part of the ripstik and then you need to do one quick push of with your right foot and put it on the back part of the ripstik, and then you swivel. 

I've learn't how to wheelie and turn around at the same time and I can do wheelie's on both wheels. Me and my sister share a red ripstick and my two brother's share a blue one.
