This instructable will show you how to change your RipStik into a RipStik G!  The only other instructable about this involves cutting, making the rubber part irreplaceable and lowering any resale value it might have.  This shows a fully replaceable way to remove the rubber part.

This is my first instructable so please rate and comment!

Or More Specifically, the the hole where the Allen Key goes.  Simply place it in the hole and unscrew it until the screw is all the way out.

Remove the Foot Paddle

First, remove the plastic clip near the now open side.  Keep this.  Push down on the open end, while sliding up the rubber part.  Once it's far enough off, take it off.

Put the Paddle Back On

Or something like that.  Just put the screw back in, check to make sure the foot paddles are the same distance apart, and go grinding!
