@ GO-LO you sit on the back put your feet on the front and get someone to push as hard as they can. It is easy because the ground is smooth and the bearings and wheels are new. It goes fast. No helmet is more fun.

I think nanor11395 means to twist your front foot to the way you want to turn and the back foot in the opposite direction.
May 21, 2009. 7:48 PMmax.fridman1 says:
Which foot is the front foot?
May 24, 2009. 10:54 AMtherockingone2204 says:
Depends if you're right-handed your front foot is the left foot and viceversa
Feb 21, 2010. 4:35 PMslippdiddy says:
no.... just depends on the person....yes you r right.... but im right handed and my right foot goes in front(only on rip stick and skate board... on snow board my right foot first)
Jun 16, 2009. 3:53 PMLilPurpleCow says:
That's not necessarily right... try a scooter. Whichever is your front foot is the same for skateboards and Ripsticks. Or try sliding on slippery floors in socks. Same thing.

I walked past a kid on one of these yesterday, it was the first time I'd ever seen it before.
It reminded me of the SnakeBoard. Only a little more rigid.

It would be good with some real photos, as GorillazMiko suggests.
Jul 4, 2008. 8:03 PMJuCo says:
those snakeboards were crazy!
Mar 17, 2008. 6:50 PMBrowncoat says:
A DVD for how to ride came with my son's RipStik. (I tried it & fell before I could realize I was falling!)
Mar 12, 2008. 8:24 PMGorillazMiko says:
Could have real pictures, but eh, I kind of get it. My friend has one of these, he's actually really good on it. Nice job.
