See below for an excerpt out of an article from the Southtown Star (circ. 49,587), which mentions the RipStik. One local 10-year-old wants a RipStik for his birthday, but instead of asking friends for it he’s holding a fundraiser birthday party to raise money to send mosquito nets to children in Africa to protect them from malaria.

“Now, just days before his 10th birthday, the New Lenox boy is just as adamant about helping kids. So instead of asking his friends for a RipStik or a Subskate - both of which are top on his wish list - he’s hoping for donations for bed nets to protect children in Africa from malaria.” Southtown Star, By Duaa Eldeib, Staff Writer
