Ripstiking Around

Here's a clip of Luke and Daniel demonstrating their moves on Luke's Ripstik. I hope it comes out OK.

Wow! I'm impressed. Timothy has talked about a ripstik, but I have never seen anyone use one. I guess all that pavement comes in handy for that, huh? How long have you had it? Enjoyed the video update. (by the way, April, movies can be played on the Digital Photo Frame too)

Hey Jackie. Luke got the ripstik for his birthday nearly two months ago. They play with it a lot. Thanks for writing.

I haven't been able to see the video yet, but I'm still trying! I'm not sure what the problem is...on one computer there is a white block where the video should be which makes me think the district's filters are blocking it. But on another (also district) computer, there is an image, but the video won't play. Not sure what all that is about, but I hope to see it soon. :)

Okay...everything I just said...forget about it! :) I tried the video again and it played fine. What a cool thing!!! I've never seen one of those. How many wheels does it have? The kids here would love it, I'm sure. Great job, Luke and Daniel! I liked getting to see your neighborhood a little bit too. :)

Hey Kimberlee, our internet is really slow sometimes so first I get the white box, then after a few minutes I get the picture, then after I click play, it starts buffering. If I get impatient then I click too much and everything freezes! Not the way everything "freezes" up where you are...but you know what I mean. :)

Hey Kimberlee, I forgot to say that the Ripstik has 2 wheels and it swivels in the middle. I tried it a couple of times. It takes a little getting used to. The wheels are rubbery so they could probably go on the gym floor. We bought Luke's at Wal-mart and a friend carried it in his suitcase to VN for us. :) Love ya! April
