The Ripstik G is a much smoother ride, faster and turning is much easier. This is a very solid and durable product made of high quality material. This product is made and intended for tricks. For little children who can be pretty harsh, high quality products are essential.
The late RipStik G is smoother and more robust than the original Ripstik. The G tube makes it easier to grind, which is really wicked. There is a product called Ripster (smaller ripstik made for early age kids) which would be a perfect product for younger kids just starting out.
It took probably around an hour of practice to start riding smoothly. The video lessons are a big help and they also can be seen on YouTube. It is very much advised for you to watch and follow the instructions closely. With those videos, you should have no problem riding and there was barely a learning curve.
