Ripstik's board has a kick tail and nose, and spiked traction pads. The Caster Board's concave deck design improves foot control. The special polyurethane wheels and casters provide a smooth ride on many different types of pavement. The Caster Board can handle up to 220 pounds, and is appropriate for kids eight and up.

Caster Board vs the PowerWing

Both the Caster Board and the PowerWing are great trick vehicles on caster wheels. Each of them allow great flexibility and creativity of movement for riders. They both are powered by twisting the feet, and not by pushing. The most obvious difference is that the PowerWing has handlebars, and the Caster Board is held upright only by balancing. If you want to buy a PowerWing or a Caster Board, consider the skills of the person that will be riding. If you are buying a gift for a child who is very agile, the Caster Board may be the best gift.
