Hi today I'm going to tell you about my Ripstick.






For Christmas I got a Ripstick. And it was one of my favorite things I've gotten. And it only took me 2 weeks to get the hang of it not counting the school days when I had no time.


A Ripstick is a lot like a skateboard. Only it has 2 wide parts on the end for both of you're feet that our joined together by a pipe. It only has 1 wheel on each end though. Mine is blue and black and has lightning bolts on it.


I found out how to ride it by a YouTube video. To get on it you put you're forward foot on the front, push off and put you're back foot on the back of it before you fall. To keep going try to keep you're front foot still but move you're back foot back and forth. To turn you lean you're front foot the way you want to turn. Keep the back foot straight. You can do that because the pipe in the middle makes it so that you can turn one one way and the other the other way. You start out kinda jerky but then you smooth out and start going faster.



My Dad was really supportive to. ( direct quote ) "Hey look every body it's a dipstick on a Ripstick!" Today I tried going down the road the opposite way and I was doing fine but then I realized I was going too fast to stop. CRASH! BANG! AAAuugghh! BARK! BARK! Stupid DOGS! But I was okay. Kinda. I Am having a great time on my Ripstick. bye!
