RipStik Caster Board

Move over skateboards, hello RipStik Caster Board.  These look awesome!  Where were these when I was a kid?

Remember way back when, when the skateboards of old were a piece of wood set upon four steel caster wheels.  Well, things have come a long way since then.

The RipStik is considered the perfect combination of surfing and snowboarding, but on two wheels.  It looks a lot like a skate board in function, but with the way it is built you can propel yourself with it and have the same feel as if you were surfing or snowboarding on land.

The RipStik Caster Board has been around for a little while, but it is quickly gaining steam and is one of the hot Christmas gifts for 2009.  If you are looking for a great gift for the person in your life who likes skateboarding, surfing or snowboarding, then I would highly recommend that you check out the RipStik.
