Toy made for
people who surf or snowboard but don't like the stiff restriction of four-wheeled boards on land. Basically a skateboard with two off-set revolving wheels and two platforms with a
notch in the middle rather than
one long board. Skateboarders usually have trouble even standing up on
one despite the fact that they constantly label them as gay. This makes said skateboarders frustrated because someone thought to evolve a sport they spent most of their lives perfecting. Despite skaters claims that it is easy, it is possible to land an
ollie, kickflip, manual and nose manual, pop shove its, revert and much more on a rip stick and it is also much more difficult. Skaters usually try to take over the park from ripstikers but then become frustrated when they are easily out-maneuvered.
Ripstiks are also easier to hit
people with than skateboards and do as much if not more damage.
