@ 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.

[josh1324]

it's called a reply button, it's alot easier.

[aidanjarosgrilli]

?

[josh1324]

you put @ GO-LO instead of clicking "reply"

[aidanjarosgrilli]

I meant at go-lo . I was lazy.

[josh1324]

oh ok

[maddyluvsparramatta]

um...i dont know what you mean!!??.....do i jump???? cause i keep falling off!! :( pleease helP!!!!

[venom1539]

I think nanor11395 means to twist your front foot to the way you want to turn and the back foot in the opposite direction.

[max.fridman1]

Which foot is the front foot?

[therockingone2204]

Depends if you're right-handed your front foot is the left foot and viceversa

[slippdiddy]

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)

[LilPurpleCow]

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.

[Nexnaught]

[lanawolf101]

yeah...um...where's the vid...

[PocketSized]

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.

[JuCo]

those snakeboards were crazy!

[Browncoat]

A DVD for how to ride came with my son's RipStik. (I tried it & fell before I could realize I was falling!)

[GorillazMiko]

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.

[threecheersfornick]

Do you comment on every instructable ever,or do I manage to only look at instructables you've reviewed? This is getting creepy...

[SteamKit]

Seriously! I see him everywhere too!
