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!

What is the most appropriate unit to measure the width of a skateboard?

well, for trick boards, the best length is right around three feet (depending on width)

width should always be able to cover your feet so ur not hangin off.

another good judge of length is that it should be long enough that when u hav ur back foot on the tail, and front foot on the screws in frontside of board, your feet will be slightly more than shoulder length apart, so its big enough for comfortable riding, but not too big and heavy for tricks
