RipStik "G" Caster Board (Silver)

This is a great buy for anybody. I saw my friend riding a wave board and he let me try it when I inquired what it was. It was a lot of fun and very addicting. He told me that if i bought one to get it because the waveboard was better that the ripstik because it had a smoother ride and it was better built. I went to Walmart and was looking at the wave boards and I saw the ripstick G. It looked a lot cooler so I bought it. To tell you the truth, this is the coolest board out there. I love this board and ride it everyday.

The only reason to buy this over a ripstick is if you are going to "grind", which is going on a rail. It is also better built and has a smoother ride than most other boards. If your going to buy it, buy it on Amazon. It's ... Read More:

My son wanted a mini ripstick and we saw this as a cheaper alternative. He loves it and never said a thing about it being any different than a mini ripstick. He rides it non stop!

RipStik Casterboard Replacement Wheel Set (Blue)

My son was riding his Ripstick in the street, which completely shredded the back wheel. These replacement wheels have his Ripstick working like new. Now he sticks to sidewalks and other smooth surfaces.

I bought this for my son because he is such a good boy and deserved something as a reward for being such a good kid. This is what he wanted. He lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvves it. He rides it back and forth to school. He uses it as often as he can. I'm so glad I got it for him because he has soooo much fun with it and I love to see him happy.

Spiderman Complete Skateboard Colors Will Vary (31-Inch)

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Starter Skateboards
from: Spiderman


For the price of $14.99 combined with other things to get free shipping, it's a good deal. If you want the red of Spiderman to look red vs. orange, you won't be happy - hence the warning about the colors not being the same. The graphics on the bottom of the board are defective and it's peeling straight out of the box. Since this was bought as a gift, I'm not taking it away from a child since they're happy with it. It's good for a beginner, but the grip and graphics will need changing pretty fast - so if you're buying it for a cheap board, great - if you're buying it because it's Spiderman... it's more like a peeling Pumpkinman.

Xglider Fusion Street Boards

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Starter Skateboards
from: Xlider SG

Easier than the Freeline.
Waaaay easier!

My cousins who use ripstik/waveboard learned to control this in less than 10 minutes! I am NOT kidding!

I learned this in under 5 mins, because I already used a similar but more difficult version. It is called Freeline skates!
Personally, I would stick to Freeline skates, but my knees can't handle. I lost patience, so I made the switch to Xlider.

Xlider is the korean version.
I guess "Xglider" is americanized.

More fun (in my opinion) than ripstik/waveboard.
Seriously!
Anyone who'd see you on the streets with these will ALWAYS think it's super hard to learn, but really, it's not THAT difficult!

My feet aren't "restricted" unlike ... Read More:

Mongoose Build-a-Board Complete Skateboard Kit

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Starter Skateboards
from: Mongoose


I know others have claimed these decks break easily, and that may be true. But if you have a 7 or 8 year-old who isn't jumping yet but is just learning, this is a great buy. Our son is just learning balance and steering, and so far these have really held up well for him. They look nice, and he had some "extra" fun helping his Dad put the trucks and wheels on. So, if you want to jump and do tricks, listen to the others who've had bad luck. If you just have a kid who wants to learn how to ride and put a board together, it's great!
