How to Slow Down on a Ripstik

Posted by – May 4, 2008


Ripstiks don't have brakes, so always keep that in mind when you are riding. With that in mind, there are, however, ways for you to slow down to a speed where you can hop off of the board.

How to Slow Down on a Ripstik

  • When you are going fast, start to make wide carves and turns. Making wide carves is a good way of controlling your speed down a hill. When you are going slow enough, make a full circle turn. Turn uphill to get yourself to stop.
  • Learn how to powerslide. A powerslide is what snowboarders do to stop. To powerslide, kick out your back foot so that the back of the board slides across the ground. This takes some practice.
