Ripstik vs Skateboard?

OK, don't get the ripstick. I had one and now i just use it to Ollie over with me skateboard. It's a piece of crap. And skateboards are much easier for tricks and riding. You can ollie and kickflip, and all that great stuff. Ripsticks are very hard to learn how to do tricks on. I can ollie on a skateboard but not a ripstick. So yeah, don't waste your money on a ripstick and get a skateboard.
