A Ripstik is fun to play with, but can you go 26 miles on one? Well I set out to see if it's possible and made this video docmenting my journey. There are some ups, definitley some downs, and a whole lot more. This was quite an adventure so check it out, because I'm the first person in the WORLD to attempt a marathon on a Ripstik.

"Even though this was just a silly idea from the start, I think I proved to myself that a weird concept like this can be interesting and very much worth doing." Agreed! Fun video. Glad I came along for the ride.

0:33 Is such a goofy visual. The beautiful sunset overlooking the open water, and then there's Eric... just wigglin along.

Great video! Good job figuring out the wheel issue before actually going for the full marathon, that would have saved me a ton of hassle on my attempt.

@mattecrystal6403 Жыл бұрын

been getting into freeskates and had a similar albiet less extreme example getting to much speed that I couldn't stop and ended up eating it. Luckly landed in the grass and got away with only minor brusing. Hills (even one that aren't that steep) can be dangerous if you get too much speed and don't know how to slow yourself down.

Yeah definitely! I learned my lesson haha… glad you were able to make it to the grass!

Hello Eric! I just came across your video when I was thinking of buying a ripstik! I have a question. Which one should I buy in your opinion? As far as I understand, ripster is smaller and lighter and the other one is like yours - has a longer pipe between pedals. I am 1.70 and 72kg. I will order it on Amazon and shipping is expensive so I have to be sure about my choice of the model bc it will be a one time buy for me for a long time. I also wonder if I can use it -not so smooth roads also?

@radiras1035 4 ай бұрын

I live in Turkey that’s why shipping cost is more expensive than the product’s price 😅

@EricWalier 4 ай бұрын

Hello! I would recommend the one I have. It’s the Ripstik pro and even though it is more expensive it’s worth it. Especially on not as smooth roads. Should last longer too!

@phenowaveboarding1790 10 ай бұрын

I think it would have been easier if you had a better technique on the Ripstik, by using a lot more your shoulders. By engaging the shoulders, it's easier for the legs. But it seems lke your legs were strong enough to achieve the distance without a better technique 😁 Thanks for the video !

Yeah my technique definitely could have been better haha! Would have made it easier

If your technique was better you would progress more efficiently. Use you hips AND upper body like on Freeskates or Snakeboards/Streetboards. Only doing the whiggle is beginner movement. And the original wheels are crap. Luckily you had a helm on which has no real use. Better would be whrist and elbow guards.

True! That’s good to know
