Ripstik[edit]

For nearly as long as it has existed, this article has been little more than two things: first, an advertisement thinly disguised as an article, and second, a forum for apparently prepubescent "extreme athletes" to name maneuvers in a grammatically poor fashion and espouse dubious (and uncited, and therefore unallowable) original research. This article does not offer any meaningful knowledge in accordance with the aims of Wikipedia. I agree with the above suggestion that this topic, along with other brand names of the same category, should simply redirect to the generic caster board article. — 74.214.101.215 (talk) 08:02, 23 January 2009 (UTC) Text copied from article talk page. ➨ ❝ЯEDVERS❞ dedicated to making a happy man very old 10:23, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For context, "the above suggestion" mentioned by the IP nominator is:

This article (and The Wave (board) and Vigorboard and others) should all be redirected to caster board as they are all just different trade names for the same basic unit. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:06, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

and is included here as a possible alternative. ➨ ❝ЯEDVERS❞ dedicated to making a happy man very old 10:23, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I say delete with extreme prejudice. Nobody over the age of 7 cares what a "rip stick" is. A RazrScooter its not! Silk Knot (talk) 00:25, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

As long as it looks like an advertisement, delete it. Who cares about that type of skateboard? Alexius08 (talk) 02:34, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
