RIPSTIK OR WAVE BOARD





A caster board or vigor board is a two-wheeled, human powered land vehicle that is closely related to the skateboard and the snake board. Two narrow platforms known as "decks" are joined by a "torsion bar", which consists of a metal beam, usually coated by rubber, which houses a strong spring. One is connected to each deck with a caster so that that each wheel can steer independently, and each caster has a steering axis that is tilted about 30° back from the vertical. 

This ripstik is getting very popular now a days many of the Oakridge children are showing interest to learn Ripstik/wave board. 

Siddharth of grade 6D has started learning ripstik by himself at his residence six months back. He said learning ripstik is a great experience and fun. Balancing on ripstik is little difficult in the beginning but later on it is much easier to balance. He also said that, he is looking forward to perform simple and easy tricks on ripstik.
