(The daughter) I first bought an original wave board, but then I come from a friend on the Ripstick (drive and tricks with my no problem) when I then tried it out a Ripstick I found no big difference first, until the curve ... that was the Ripstick much more difficult to master and a sidewalk or a bump to go up or goes not only bad for this one has to jump most. (which admittedly is not as easy.)
But the Ripstick also has great advantages over the original Wave board, it may be better to skating rinks and driving is a bit faster.
CONCLUSION: All in all a beautiful board with which one can not go so well curves aaaaaaber the still large and long-lasting fun and makes progress faster !!!
