ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to a balancing board of an advanced nature which allows unique maneuverability and whose design renders a smooth performance on virtually any surface conditions both in and outdoors, to promote balance and reflex coordination skills, while providing means for recreation and freestyle maneuvers. The user stands upon a longitudinal deck which engages a precision roller assembly, with means to manipulate the deck so as to achieve linear, pivotal, and sweeping radial motions. The roller assembly contains two independently rotatable wheels mounted to a common axle, each having an interchangeable polymer tire to permit use on diverse surfaces. A special, stepped rail centrally mounted to the lower side of the deck, guides the deck along the roller and furnishes the method whereby the deck is manipulated. A limiting cable maintains the contact between the deck and roller assembly, and defines the longitudinal travel of the deck, producing a desirable stopping action at its boundaries.
