It IS easy to ripstick, but it is a difficult concept to learn. While our minds are used to wheels traveling in a straight line, we have to put all that aside to realize how a ripstick operates on shopping cart-like wheels. I find it is easiest to put my front foot on, keep it level, and push off like a skateboard while quickly placing my other foot on the back. Then to "push", you simply wiggle the back end which propels you forward. Once you get the feel for it, you can fine tune your abilities with jumping onto the ripstick to start out, wiggling the front AND back for speed and even doing tight circles in place which plays havoc on your equilibrium. But of course, as with all things in life, anything is easy if you practice practice practice.

Ripstick is the best.
I think I saw one in WAL-MART.
Yes, he does! I saw a pic of him trying out a ripstick as the before and he was, like, falling of the ripstick and then there was an after and he was riding it perfectly. So practically, Yes!
Yes
depends on the type if its a walmart board then its ripstick a real board then skateboard
the skateboard is cheaper and is better for balance and the ripstick is the opposite of that
