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.
