This commercial is about 4 years old, but is by far the best Nike basketball commercial ever made for the U.S. market.

how to ride the ripstik basic video

Growing up I was big into skateboarding, but I haven't ridden in years. But over the past month, I was thinking of buying a new board and rekindling my days of yester year.

A close friend of mine mentioned she saw some kids riding flexible skateboards (casterboards) in her neighborhood, and they let her try one out. The kids didn't know where their mother had purchased the casterboards, but my friend chanced upon them at the Stadium sports store inside KLCC.

So last Monday I went back to the store with her to check them out; only four left. So we each bought a board on the spot (RM159 - 10%). The Malaysian 'Super Sale' is on; I had to take advantage.

Now that I have spontaneously entered the world of casterboarding, I figured I needed the delinquent advice of teenagers to show me how to ride this thing. Although the guy narrating the video looks like he is in his late twenties - early thirties.

For lack of better words, I just recently acquired this "thing". After doing a web search, I now know that it's called a snake-board, which is a hybrid between a skateboard and snowboard. But unlike a traditional skateboard, there are just two wheels in parallel alignment. The front and back of the board are separated by a tubular axial, that allows the two halves of the board to rotate at a sharp radius clockwise and counter-clockwise.

I haven't had a chance to ride it yet. But when I do, I'm sure my next post will be about how I ended up in Glen Eagle Hospital with both my legs in traction.
