Shakes Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 So my girlfriend surprised me yesterday with a new blue Ripstik for my Vaentine's Day gift. I have to say that this little gizmo has allowed me to have the fun that I've missed since my childhood (Only 2 points of contact with the pavement= hellafast street surfing). I've been riding it all over campus and it's become my new mode of transportation to and from my classes, and man it's proven to be a great conversation piece. People stop me to talk about it or to give it a try, we start talking about other cool gadgets, eventually I bring up the hookah and they end up coming back to the dorm for a smoke session. In less that two days I've picked up 6 new hookah buddies, and I owe it all to the Ripstik. For anyone on this forum that doesn't have one yet, I highly reccomend it.

Elky Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hahah, I almost got plowed over by some asshole last year who decided it was a good idea to do that right from class to class. Not such a good idea considering how densy packed people are between classes here. They are fun as hell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
