- 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.
Thank you 🙏
0:33 Is such a goofy visual. The beautiful sunset overlooking the open water, and then there's Eric... just wigglin along.
The contrast is poetic 😂
How does this not have more views production quality insane
I’ve been saying this haha
this man needs more subs this is a MASTERPIECE ❤
Thank you! I appreciate the support 🙂
When the world needed him most, he vanished💔 Waiting for the king to return
I’ll be back soon! I have a few videos filmed just editing them slowly but surely 🫡🫡🫡
Nice one! I've loved it, pretty well scheduled and edited, it felt like a 5 minute video, enjoyed it a lot!! Keep on with this original/crazy ideas, you will crush it 🔥
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
No lie i didnt look at your subs untill the end of the vid, and i was surprised you dont have thousands of subs. I can definitely respect the dedication and commitment. All in all great work man!
Thank you!
Glad I found your channel , I really relate to you and have some things to work at
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.
Haha yeah that really surprised me. Was not expecting that… Thank you!
That's sick! Very creative!
Thank you!
Hey Eric! It’s the kids who sold pink lemonade🍋 nice video!👍👍
Thank you! Loved the lemonade
pretty sick. and inspirational
Thank you! Wait till you see what’s next 👀
Glad to see some people still using ripstik I frickin love them lol.
They’re great! So underrated
I just bought one and should be arriving today! I had one as a kid but it was an off brand tiny one that I outgrew so I'm hoping it's like riding a bike and I can hop back on and roll at 29 years old haha 😅
@@lmargraves195 you definitely got it haha! Might take a little practice but it’s basically like riding a bike
Shout out to the production team! Those guys are cool
Yeah really! Where would I be without them?
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!
and freeskates are way faster than a Ripstik !
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?
I live in Turkey that’s why shipping cost is more expensive than the product’s price 😅
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!
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
Dude! I have the same rip stick and I live in Buffalo!
Heck yeah! Shout out Buffalo
I LIVE IN BUFFALO TOO!
I live in buffalo. It is a great place
Yeah it is!
Now i want to do a 50k
Do it!
@@EricWalier My ripstik is delivered to my house June 27. After some training I hope so!
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
Actually I did it first, didnt have a dope production team though 🙄
That’s why you need a production team ready at all times
