ABSTRACT:
A flexible figure in the form of a human engaged in a particular athletic or recreational activity, such as snowboarding. The figure further comprises arm and leg sections connected at realistic joints, and joined to the torso by couplings all of which realistically simulate the flexibility limitations of the human body. A length of elastic material functioning as an artificial muscle, which is connected between the upper leg and the lower leg behind the knee joints, and an resilient covering over the elbow joints, automatically return the figure to a preselected starting stance.
