Which is better ripstik air or dlx?

yes it is. The best thing about the ripstik air pro is that the lightweight design with the caster spring makes the ripstik land more straight than you would expect, the normal ripstik does not have this.

The Ripstik Air Pro is good if you plan on doing lots of tricks. It weighs less, so it is easier to do jumps. However, if you do not wish to do tricks and just want to ride around, the Classic is just fine. It can turn better and can do the swively motions better. It also costs less. The fact that it weighs more also means you can go faster and skate over more things without falling. This is good if you plan on going fast and don't feel like watching out for pine cones, twigs, or other obstacles that may be in the way. It can also go over manhole covers and bumpy surfaces better. This is just my opinion. I have used a Classic much more than an Air. I do not actually own an Air, I use one that belongs to someone I know.

How do you do an ollie on a ripstik?

first, buy a ripstik. some protection gear is needed. the ripstik can only be ridden with the nose in the front. the nose is the narrow end. place your non-dominant foot in the middle of the nose platform. level the ripstik out. with your non-dominant foot on the front, put all your weight on your back foot. with the back foot supporting your weight, push off and place your back foot on the middle of the back platform. if your foot ends up to far back or to front foward, just step off the board until you are perfect. after rolling in a straight line, start twisting at the hips. do not bend your feet foward and backward. simply twist your hips and legs and feet. twist anything below your hips in 1 direction. your shoulders should twist the other direction. you should feel your weight shifting. once you have got twisting down, lets learn turning and stopping. when turning, remember that the front foot controls which way you turn. to turn left, tilt your front foot to the left, or in your case, to the front and vice versa. the back foot determines how sharp your turn is. if yoe lean a lot back with your back foot, you'll get a sharp turn. to stop, just turn at a 90 degree angle until you face the direction you were traveling. then just tilt foward and step off the board. hope this helped!
