Nguyen (Maryland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) This review is from: Ripstik Mini DLX Board (Sports) Received this RipsStik DLX after a lot of reading and research. The size is right for me, a small adult, easy to ride and carry, not too long or big. After an hour, could go on my own. A day or 2 later, already cruising the parking lot (flat). Still struggle to go up hill but I am trying. Really glad I picked it over the other long boards. Quality product. Highly recommended for fun, stress release and exercise in that order ;-) Tips: watch the video on youtube or at Ripstik site for starting out - it is better than the DVD enclosed. Also, first practice leaning on the shoulder of a friend. Once you are on, you can learn to balance better. Also speed is key, the board has to be moving for you to balance, push and jump to get on with some speed - don't just stand on it, wiggle your hip and expect it to move. You would fall b4 that. Scan the area you are skating for small rocks, gravels ... before you skate. Watch your speed when you are a beginner, and if you feel it is going too fast, simply step off to stop. For stopping, it is much safer than roller blading down the hill that way -- but still, wear your helmet and wristguards.

Trotter "teamed" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) This review is from: Ripstik Mini DLX Board (Sports) We bought this for my son's 6th birthday. He is able to do his brother's regular sized Ripstik, but it is a little awkward for him. This mini is fast, smooth and made for smaller people. My 8 and 10 year olds have fun on it too. I have to say it is worth paying for the name brand with this type of product. Others we have tried are just not as smooth a ride. Have fun!

Byrne - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) This review is from: Ripstik Mini DLX Board (Health and Beauty) Our son just turned 8. Thought the original ripstik would be too much for him so ordered this one, which is a little shorter. It is perfect and he loves it.
