The Ripstik Deluxe DLX is the best caster board to date. The DLX is the professional version of the standard Ripstik. The DLX takes caster boards to the next level, the professional level. The new board includes some incredible new features that will make your riding experience much better. Some of these improvements are a spinning aluminum torsion bar, lighter weight and ABEC-7 bearings. You can ride faster, farther, more smooth and do more tricks than ever before.

The greatest new feature I want to talk about first and that is the spinning aluminum torsion bar. Not only can you bust out all your old tricks but now you can grind on rails and curbs as smooth as butter, because the torsion bar spins. It no longer matters if it is a waxed steal grind bar or a bumpy sidewalk curb, the rolling torsion bar is smooth and takes your tricks to the next level. If you catch a small decline there is no saying how far you can grind with the new design. You are not going to slow down as quickly so you can rail slide further.

The new DXL is lighter weight then the standard ripstik. Why does this matter? Well, any ...
... trick in which your board leaves the ground is going to be easier. Ollying, kick flips, launching off ramps are all going to be easier because of the newer light weight design. The trick that benefits the most is the kick flip. The main complaint I heard about trying a kick flip on a ripstik is that the board was too heavy. Not anymore. It is like kick flipping with a skateboard now. Not only that, but simply carrying the board around is going to be an easier chore due to its light weight.

The DXL rides smoother and faster due to the upgraded ABEC-7 bearings. Compared to the standard ABEC-5 bearings, the new bearings main advantage is the smoothness of the ride. Riding smooth means riding faster, and more confidently. You do not need to worry about a little rock throwing you off your board because the new bearings smooth ride rolls right over the top of them. If you are in a race against normal ripstik or wave boards they do not have a chance of beating you. The fact is that the Ripstik DLX is the fastest caster board there is.

If you want to ride faster, smoother and bust out some sweet new tricks then an upgrade to the Ripstik DLX is a must. This board is perfect for the serious and great ripstik riders. Take this board to the skate park and you possibilities are endless. You will love how smooth and fast it rides, and you will be thrilled at the options the spinning torsion bar presents when trying new tricks. The Professional Ripstik DLX caster board is the next level of caster boards and at this point there is nothing else out there that compares.
