History of RipStik and Design
:: Design Structure ::
:: History ::
The Ripstik is a recreational caster board, manufactured by Razor, a recreational product designer. Because of the way the boards move by the X-axis, it is very similar to The Wave, though the Ripstik has a longer torsion bar and smaller boards. The price ranges from $75 to $129, with approximately $70 million in sales through September 2007. [1]
Sales of the Ripstik and the Wave, in particular, accelerated in 2007, and in 2008 a new board, called the Blade Board, was made. This new caster board has the ability to go backwards as well as forward, so a few tricks can be added to its arsenal. It has been estimated that roughly one million units will be sold during the 2007 holiday season, becoming one of the most sought after gifts during that year's season. Customers can find the items in retail stores like Wal-mart, Target, and other large retailers or online at Amazon.com. Throughout much of the holiday season, it remained at the top of the Best Seller's List within Amazon.com's Sporting Goods and Toys setions. Many toy industry insiders believe that its popularity will continue to grow into 2008 in the toys market, and start to gain additionally in the sporting market.
Wheels generally wear after a 2-3 month period depending on the terrain in which the board is used and the skill of the rider. The rear wheel always wears faster than the front, as the majority of forward propulsion is rendered by the sideways motion of the rear caster. RipStik wheels are 76mm in diameter and are made of polyurethane. The stock wheel bearings for the standard RipStiks are rated ABEC-5, and DLX models have ABEC-7 bearings. The DLX is more expensive, because it has the aluminum torsion bar, as well as ABEC-7 bearings.
