Kids these days ride a lot of things like skateboards, ripstiks, scooters, and bikes to get to places. My favorite is the RipStik . It is really hard when you first try it but once you master it, you can do tricks and swerves since the wheels are free and can turn 360 degrees unlike the skateboard and scooter. You can take the sharpest turns and go pretty fast. The scary thing is is that both your feet are always on the RipStik, so you can’t brake on slopes but you can slow down by taking a U turn.
I got a skateboard recently and it is really cool but tough to turn and it is too slow since you have to keep pushing off the ground and the wheels can’t swivell. Scooters go fast but it is too boring now. I love riding bikes since you feel the wind blowing in your face and can go the fastest, the problem is I don’t need to go far distances so I don’t use the bike much.
The most dare-devil thing I’ve ever done was RipStik down a hiking trail. The slopes are enormous and it seems like your flying. Once five people blocked my path when I was going super fast and there was no brake, so my options were: crash into them, jump off, or crash into the patch of grass. I fell on the grass, it hurt but after a day I was okay.
What do you like to ride? Have you ever done any daredevil stunts on it? If you don’t ride anything, what would you like to ride?

I usualy ride my scooter sice it is easy to use and is easy to carry. Once in a while I ride my bicycle around my apartment but the problem coms when you have to lift it over some stairs.
I like to ride my bike, but I do not ride it a lot now. I use to ride it a lot near my house.Now my mom bought me a new skateboard,but i don't not how to ride it yet.I rode a motorcycle once
in India!it was really thrilling.
Awesome post Arjun!!!
I have a RipStik, bike, and scooter too. I think the scooter is kind of boring too. I really like riding bikes and riding the RipStik. I used to bike to school, in fourth grade, but some people kept telling me that it was too dangerous. Since I am in 5th grade now, I might start biking to school again. The RipStick is awesome too. It is really unique, because not many things that you can ride have two separate platforms to keep your feet on. And not many things have turnable wheels. It isn't really a daredevil stunt, but once I tried to bike with no hands on the bars and take a turn. It was really hard to do, but I managed to do it....sort of. =P
Hi Arjun! :) I love riding bikes! Omg! They are awesome! The wheels are really smooth! They make bumpy grounds smoother! When I was little, I used to love a scooter. Scooters make bumpy grounds even bumpier! :P I haven't done any stunts on my bike because those of you who know me, I am afraid to do certain stuff! Hehee! :D Anyways, those are my favorite things to ride! :)
Nice post Arjun! :D
I used to ride bicycles. My chinese school teacher said when she was our age, you start on an adult bike. No training wheels, no safety pads, just an adult bike. Scooters are also cool. You can zip around and go really fast. The problem is that once a blade cut my leg. My family's garage has a scooter but we can't find it. We can't find the bicycle helmet either. The wheels have no air so I can't ride them. It's really fun to ride scooters and bicycles.
When I was little, I did stunts. It was all based on the scooter. I could make a scooter into a skateboard and do wheelies, too. How to make a scooter into a skateboard:
1)ride on it sideways
How to do a wheely:
1) ride on it
2) lift the handle
3) FALL
My favorite thing to ride is a bike
and skateboard. The most daredevil
stuff I did on the skateboard is go down this big slope. I almost crash a girl. It was kind of scary, but now I good at avoiding people. It is to yell out loud ,"Excuse me." The most daredevil stuff I did on a bike was come down this big slope and up a ramp. I flew over a trash can, my brother(lying down pointing a lasergun at a boy), and a toy car. When I land I almost fall off, but I didn't.
Great post, Arjun!
I don't have a RipStik, but I transport by uuuummm...bike? My bike tire is now basically dead...but now I have my po-go-stick, i can go anywhere except for the house which will make the floor dirty. So ummm...I guess I don't really have any transportation...HA!!! But for far areas I do force my parents to take me by car. THAT COUNTS AS A TRANSPORTATION!!!
Nice Post!!!
Great Post Arjun! I don't think a scooter is boring, I still have one in my backyard and still ride it. You can still do FUN tricks on it like, jumping in the air while riding, or do a 360 turn with your scooter while you are in the air. These tricks might sound easy or hard.. well... I can only do the first one... I'm still working on the second one (I don't think I can do it anyway).
My favorite thing to ride is my BIKE! I love riding it about every Sunday with my dad and brother! I can ride with one hand but not two! I think it is really hard to do it without two.
As you can see (boring ending) I love to ride scooter and my bike! :b =P :D :]
I have a RipStik, bike, and motor scooter. My brother has another thing that he rode on a long time ago, but we threw it away. It was too small for my brother and I. I like riding my RipStik. I don't really ride my bike because it is small and I don't really use it. When my family goes to the park, I usually ride the motor scooter or the RipStik. I like the motor scooter because it can go fast. If you aren't careful, you might go too fast and bump into something. You have to charge the power if it runs out and it won't work if it is out of energy, so that is kind of annoying. Now we don't go to the park because my family is too busy to go but I still like the things I ride on.
Nice Post Arjun!
I usually like to either ride my ripstik or my scooter. The thing about my ripstik is that I always have trouble keeping on the sidewalk because I keep on going off it. On of the craziest thing I have ever done was riding it into the pool since I was trying to see how far I could go while riding it.
I prefer using my scooter of the two. I am usually best at doing tricks with my scooter I once managed do a 360 jump with a ramp. I think the craziest thing I have ever done yet was once I saw a really big hill at a camping site and I decided that I wanted to go scootering down it. The thing is, is that the brakes on my scooter were really dull from all the previous riding on it (ITS 5YEARS OLD!!!), but I did it anyways. Bad luck, because just as I started going down the hill a big group of people got in my way. Like Arjun I had three choices: crash into the people, bail out, or jump into a patch of grass of grass near by. I decided to jump into a patch of grass but when I did I miscalculated my jump by a foot. So instead of landing into the patch of grass as I wanted to I jumped and scraped a tree, then hit a rock.
P.S. Great post Arjun!!!!!!!
I like to RipStik and I saw many videos about it I can do a nose and tail manual it is cool. I tried to ride it very fast down a hill. I went fast. One time my friend sat on it and rode down a hill. With my scooter, I could go fast. Once my friend rode down a hill with it. At Calabazas Park, there is a very cool bike place with a lot of ramps and curves. There is a big slope between two ramps. Once I was riding so fast that I crashed into a tree. I have a skateboard but I don't ride it very much.
I have a waveboard, very much like the ripstik but was harder to learn. It took about 2 months. I can go on tan bark infected ground. I started to learn at the late summer of 2010. I haven't ridend on it for 1 month and I don't think I'm that good at it any more.
I like the scooter a lot because you could go really fast. I used to ride on my bike, but it is really boring.I once saw this guy going really fast and went on one wheel with a scooter on the street.
Nice Post,Arjun!
Nice blog post Arjun I have done a daredevil trick before and that was on the scooter. See I was riding on my scooter when I had to jump of the scooter when someone was in my path and he was a dog who loved chasing things so he chased me so then I kept on going really fast and then when I saw grass I jumped of the scooter onto the grass and the scooter kept on going. Just kidding none of this hapenned but there was a daredevil I did.!!.
Once in a while I ride my bike. There is a lot of space at Collins, so I like to go there. I like to chase my dad with my bike for the exercise. Once I rode my bike through a large patch of grass. I got like five meters through the grass, but then my bike stopped. My cousin used to ride a motorcycle to school since his dad was a policeman. Nice post Arjun!
