User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great Product
I set this up by myself in about ten minutes, it was very easy. Good quality parts. Very happy with purchase.

2 Stars No Assembly Instructions
This item came in a generic box which was the shipping box. It was difficult to confirm if this was the exact thing (model?) that I ordered on Amazon. No assembly instruction came with the item so it was difficult to know if all the parts needed were in there, and of course it made it challenging to set-up. It crossed my mind if Amazon had sent me a used product????

Unfortunately, I just don’t have the time to package it back up into the shipping box to send it back to Amazon. I’m also too busy to take a trip to the Post Office. To begin with, I was too busy to go to the retail stores in my local area to buy a badminton set locally; hence, the Amazon order.

If you decide to buy this item, good luck. Be prepared to be disappointed.

4 Stars Good Solid Badminton Pro Set
This is a solid buy. Can’t go wrong. Set is easy to assemble, raquets have performed quite satisfactory. Structure is solid and of decent quality. A good value for the money. Everything fits in the bag and easy to carry around and to store. I def recommend it.

4 Stars Great Set for everything but the rackets and shuttlecocks
Nice set. Easy to setup and nets and poles and borders are great quality. I have my own racket and use feather birdies so i really didnt care that it came with cheap rackets and birds but everything else was top quality. I play weekly and have had no problems with this set. It would have been nice it they just offered it without the cheap rackets and birdies and charged a lower price.

4 Stars Excellent Net & Poles; Racquets are mediocre
Easy set up. Poles and net are sturdy and likely to last. The racquets *seem* flimsy but we haven’t had any problems. Looking forward to summer evenings of family badminton.

RipStik Caster Board Pink

April 1st, 2010

RipStik Caster Board Pink




Best described as a cross between a skateboard and a snowboard, the RazorX Ripstik caster board is the perfect ride for kids looking for the next big thrill. The board is distinguished by its pivoting deck and 360-degree inclined caster trucks, which offer a snowboard-like carving ability. A simple weight transfer lets you turn or accelerate without pushing, just like when you’re carving down the slopes

5 Stars Grandaughters Rip Stick
My oldest granddaughter, Cara, loves her Rip Stick…she has some good moves….good construction on this products. Has held up well

5 Stars Great!
I bought this for my 12 year old son, and he loves it! He learned how to use it very quickly and uses it a lot. Two of his friends also have them and they’re out on the Ripstiks constantly! It seems very durable and well contructed. I’d like to try it myself, but I’m afraid I’ll break something!!

5 Stars Ripstick Review
We ordered our Ripstick at Amazon.com because we wanted to choose a color that wasn’t found in stores. It also happened to be a better price than local stores. We recieved our ripstick and my daughter got on it immediately, she was on it for about 2 hours and only had it for 2 days when the rear wheel crumbled apart. I called Amazon right up and they explained there must have been an air bubble or some kind of defect in the wheel. We have a new set of wheels sent out to us right away, free of charge of course! I was very pleased with the ease in ordering this item online

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Very Good Helmet; Great Value
This helmet is well-designed. It’s as cool as a helmet can be (I wear one only for safety, not as a fashion statement) and the dial adjuster is excellent. It fits snugly and comfortably. The visor is a plus. I wish Amazon’s Super Saver shipping was faster. I know they can expedite the order for the same cost.

5 Stars Sizes Small to Large
You won’t need to worry about this helmet fitting you unless you have an exceptionally large head. Fitting anyone with 54cm to 61cm That would be small to Large. Helmet fits snug without binding and is comfortable, airy and light. AAA rating in my book.

5 Stars Saved my head
Excellent helmet…comfortable, easily adjustable, and most importantly it save my head in a crash. Not even a headache! I’ll be replacing my broken helmet with a new Giro Indicator.

3 Stars Decent
Overall a good helmet. There is a plastic piece in the back where the straps mount; it sticks out slightly causing discomfort to the back of your head.

5 Stars Nice Helmet… Useful, good fit and good looks…
A nice helmet that I use to commute around town… very useful with excellent looks and fit for its price…

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Lock – OK. Lock bracket – JUNK!
During the first ride I had with this new lock attached, it flew off after I hit a bump. I had it mounted horizontally on my top bar. It was dragging underneath my bike, and thankfully there were no cars coming. Most of the rubber got scraped off a section the u-bar and sections of the cable, and the lock rattles now. I have since moved it to my seat post, which allows it to be mounted vertically. In other words, the bracket is total junk. As far as the lock goes …we’ll see. I still have my bike, so far.

2 Stars Lock might be strong, but everything else is cheaply made
This lock is being returned to Amazon. I’m surprised by the cheap quality of the accessories that go with this lock.

Problem 1: The keys are made of plastic and painted silver to look like metal. Plastic breaks, which is why some people are having problems with the keys breaking off in the locks.

Problem 2: The key light lit for 3 seconds then went off permanently.

Problem 3: The attachment to hold the lock to the bike is large, ugly, and poorly made. There is no ring of metal or plastic with a rubber inside that is used to attach most accessories. Instead, this is a large piece of plastic and a thin nylon strap that you tighten to the bike. Unfortunately, it flops around while riding. Also the attachment to the lock itself is cheap plastic that can easily come undone going over bumps.

Overall, I’m taken back by the cheap, inferior quality of the keys and bike attachment. The lock would definitely need to be carried inside a bike bag, and a person would need to be careful not to break the keys, especially as the plastic stresses over time. The lock itself might be secure, but the overall quality of the package I received was surprisingly bad.

Edit: After looking at other inexpensive locks from companies such as Kryptonite, I’ve noticed that these sorts of problems are actually pretty common. The solution I used was to get a much more expensive Kryptonite lock.

5 Stars Excellent, Safe Lock
The Lock is VERY sturdy both in design and material.

The thick cable gives extra-assurance your bike is safe.

Of the 6 keys provided, one has an LED light attached.

The attaching bracket is functional but could be better in both instruction and design.

Overall: The Lock is excellent for any medium to low scale bikes. For better protection I would recommend Kryptonite New York Fagettaboutit U lock. A definite must buy for the price.

4 Stars Great lock
I would give this 5 stars but I have only had it one month so hard to say if it holds up in the long run. So far I find it well constructed and doing the trick.

4 Stars 1st Bike Lock
This is my first bike lock for my Diamond Back Response Sport 08. The reason I got it is because I usually ride my bike to the lake and like to jog also so I have to leave it locked some how. So I saw the nice price and got it. The U lock is heavy, the piece you attach to the hold the lock to your bike in place is really poor its basically a strap that you tighten to your frame and and a clip that holds the u lock in place while riding. The strap/clip item failed. It doesnt lock in place and the u lock falls out BUT thankfully I found a better way to attach it to the bike just by locking it to the frame and using the cable from one end of the bike to the other. This is my first lock, so as far as the holder it all really depends on your frame of bike so larger the frame the easier it is to fit/attach the strap to it, but the clip part is weak is made out of plastic.
