Have you seen Razor's new Ripstik? The front end is the opposite of a
bicycle front end. The caster is leaned backwards. Search Youtube for
Ripstik demonstrations.
I understand that if you lean a caster forwards or backwards, the
wheel will try to keep itself pointed straight ahead. But I don't
understand what happens when you lean to the right (or left). I've
read that the reason a bicycle wheel turns to the right (when leaned
right) is to help put the bicycle back in its lowest position.
But, getting to the point... When I put a rear caster on a Ripstik
that is leaning forwards like a bicycle caster does, when the Ripstik
is leaned to the right, that back wheel is going to turn to the left.
Anybody disagree?
Thanks.
