Coming from a skateboarding background for 15 years in Australia I would like to explore doing tricks on the ripstik, especially on the ripstik air that I own.
On a ripstik I immediately feel less stable on the 2 wheels than on my deck and think the best first step on learning how to ollie up the gutter is to practice manuals on the rear wheel. A rear manual on a skateboard is one of the most basic tricks you will ever do, but on the ripstik I am already having trouble feeling confident while only on one wheel.
If you were to choose between a ripstik air and a skateboard for ease of tricks, there is no doubt that you will learn faster on a regular skateboard.
I have only practiced tricks on my ripstik for a short time, but make no mistake, if you can ollie up gutters, kickflip, drop in on ramps, do manuals or kick-shove-it's on a skateboard, don't expect to immediately do them on a ripstik.
I feel like I'm back at school.
