Damn, I use to do this too when I was kid, the only problem was if there was a car coming because you kind of had to swerve. I still have my ripstik from when I was 8 (I'm 24 now).
This is nostalgic for some reason. Kids 10 years ago had better trends, higher energy and would actually go outside and do things like this. Man do I miss those times
I usted to ride downhill with my ripstick, it was much more stable than a skateboard but it was also scary as fuck because I couldn't slow down. I was even faster than the cars, the safiest way to use it was sit down on it so I can use my shoes to break the speed.
@@aileens2960 if you can, try jumping off. Usually works for me because it often immediately stops once I hop off. If not either let it slow down on its own or drive into the grass for a soft landing.
When I was growing up we had a huge hill to ride down on skateboards, scooters, ripstiks, bikes, roller blades and stuff and man oh man. We picked up so much speed and couldn't slow down. The bottom of the hill was a T and so we had to turn one way or the other to slow down. Surprised we never hit or got hit by a car haha.
I did something like this but at a school. There was a super steep hill that cars would sometimes use to access the lower schoolyard. It’s Bonny doon school btw. I went down most of the hill, there is a playground that’s right in front so when your going 25 mph on a thing that’s designed for nine year olds to ride at 8 mph, and you have to make a turn before you hit this 6 inch tall barrier with about 25 feet between the hill and the playground, you gotta be clutch. Not to mention this thing is super hard to keep steady at a high speed. It’s super hard to turn without dying and the worst part is that it doesn’t have brakes. You have to do as many turns as you can to slow down in the schoolyard and then go through a tight hallway kinda thing into the back parking lot. It was an awful idea. Way more terrifying than I expected.
I love the speed of shooting downhill on a board with two wheels. The only thing is, the hills surrounding my house are filled with uneven pavement so I have to make sure I don't hit one. Otherwise, I die.
I always loved riding down hills on a ripstick despite it being the most terrifying experience as there’s no way to brake I once had an accident where I jumped off trying to match speed I come off at only for me to faceplant to the concrete 💀 I’ve tried to install v brakes off a bike it does work but interferes with the swivel motion of the rear wheel so unfortunately may need to redesign it also doubt it has much braking force
I did this once, but a car started coming and I didn’t have any way to stop at that speed and kinda panicked so I just rode off the road and wound up taking a tumble in some gravel. Have some scars on my elbow from it lol. Pretty unsafe thing to do tbh. The hill I was on was much steeper but shorter than this one though. Oh and the car actually turned before it would have got to me and just didn’t use a turn signal so I would’ve been fine just riding so long as I didn’t hit a rock lol. I was a kid tho so just kinda panicked mostly lol
I remember when I was in elementary I would pull a friend down a street in my neighborhood with my bike. We stopped doing it when he hit a puddle then crashed into someone’s rose bush.
Yeah they work but they do not really slow you down. Only way to slow down is to ride up a bit with each curve. But once you are to fast do do that it is over
lean either to the front or back while putting some weight on either side so you don’t fall then you will gradually slow down and then you can just skit it on the floor or jump off

I can just imagine him hitting a rock
U must be slow right? Bc he hit many rocks but at that speed it won’t effect u
swevvy yes it will I ride a ripstick and it will knock you right off course if u go over any rock or pothole or even deep cracke
Starbunny MSP but you weren’t going the speed he is 🤣. learn before talkin
YT_ COOLPlayz lmao a pebble shouldn’t bother u at this speed, but a big rock would
YT_ COOLPlayz what?🤣
Everyone Gangster until there's a pebble on the road
😂 bro when I was riding my ripstick I did not know how to turn and there is a huge pothole where I skate
"Hi my name is Marty Mcfly Williams and im about to bomb this master hill"

Ong I had a stroke trying to read this
But idk how to stop :/

@@zombies4evadude24 okay thankyou
I have a big slope where I live and my first time going down it was hell I could remember the fear of not being ready once it wouldn’t stop 😭
That happened to me at first and I could just see my life flashing before my eyes

That guy is truly going fast
I've thought of doing this but the only hills around where I live have intersections at the bottom of them and I don't wanna get hit by a car
Neglected child: Grandpaaaa
Grandpa: Good job Nathan
If I did it would just be
Me: casually bombing hill
Random rock that appeared after I checked the road 37 times: *I like ya cut g*
looked slow buy very fast
Ripstiks look fun as hell to ride but just one thing.... I DONT EVEN HAVE ONE
Matthew Kolonics They are really hard to ride. But look cool
I broke my wrist on one
Matthew Kolonics ripstick?!?! I call it a rip- I can't even get on the fuckin thing
Matthew Kolonics cheap as hell nowadays
@@hellarepublican8923 no they aren't
Cool bro

not too many drivers use turn signal in the usa btw

I did this but tried to turn like a snow board over and over to reduce speed and I absolutely ate it
I mastered the turns while going downhill. Definitely requires practice 😂

@@The.Mentalist yeah
I have been in business and the rest of the day
So cool
Rock to the kid: Well hello there!
Kid’s face to the ground: Hi!
I did this in February of 2023.
Broke and fractured my left wrist, wore a cast for 3 months. We had to saw it off
saw what off?
@@Nezzen- the cast 😅 (not my wrist)
The funny thing is, he's an adult now
:o
I went down central park bike lane today on my ripstik and I went well over 20 mph with no helmet
hell yeah
How do you even stop with you ripstick... I don't even know :/
lean either to the front or back while putting some weight on either side so you don’t fall then you will gradually slow down and then you can just skit it on the floor or jump off
Hey at least you don't get speed wobble
hella Republican no but you get horrible vibration that causes your feet to slide across the platform
@@WNCAINTLOUD and make ur legs go numb if u ride for too long and that's not good
Hey at least your last two brain cells aren't running into each other.
if u dont want to fall then get a bigger ripstick
how
1 pebble is all it takes
I'm gonna be posting a video of me going down a big hill 2
Good for you nathan
I personally have absolutely ate shit on a ripstik going down a massive hill, and I know that if you fell it would hurt like a bitch
One rock and it’s over
I wonder where this kid is at now? 😂
I was going down a hill once on a rip stick and I hit a rock and I crashed
SEND IT
One wrong thing happens you are toast
He’s not riding it correctly but cool
??
He didn't swivel at all
@@Randy-ms8ui there’s no need to swivel while going downhill on a ripstick. That’s counterproductive.
@@ADeeManz oh I know, i was joking around.
Just cut the video he fall due to pebble 😂
Jesus is returning soon everyone!
Hello
*car comes*
This is the easiest thing to do
i done this on a bigger hill like everyday i done it about 6 times ;-;
Nice English lol
He was NOT going fast >:(
Relax
@@Ya_mamma L😂L
It doesn’t look fast but when you do it it feels fast trust me
kneepads please 😢😢
Lol that's an amateur hill
Should have got him a skateboard
I WENT DOWN A 200000000000 DEGREEANGLE ON A HILL AND I SURVIVED
Looked slow
look cool but one day i broke my hand and legs
I guess you can call it a
RIPstik
