5.0 out of 5 stars Balance me out..., November 27, 2000

I remember when my father brought his original balance board home after he packed up his parents house. All three of us took to the challenge of being able to stay up on it. Just when we started to get bored with it, our renter from our garage taught us to stretch the limits - first, merely learning to jump and then keep your balance. Within weeks, he was doing a 180 degree jump, and then a 360 degree turn. I am looking forward to our kids (8 and 6) working on their balance skills with this toy.

This toy needs a smooth, hard surface to work well; linoleum, very smooth concrete or hardwood floors are recommended. For long-term durability, I would not recommend using it on typical street concrete as the wood roller beam can get dinged up a bit with loose pebbles and then not roll as smoothly.

Friends had a board like this in college. I used it so much it ended up at my apt. It is fun, challenging and good exercise. It is hard to surprise teens with a fun gift but this was a great choice for our kids. Their friends enjoy it too. It is good skiing and snowboarding conditioning. It works fine on carpet as well as hard floors. The product is well built and easily supports large adults.

I grew up with a "bongo board" which is the same as the balance board. Except the "base" (ie the thing the board rolls on) is terrible. It comes in multiple pieces of circles you have to assemble to make it. The wood shreds when you roll on it. It also doesn't feel very stable. I wished I had spent a couple extra dollars and gotten the "all plastic" one or the "pivet board". We haven't even really used it because it makes a mess and I am scared it will break. This is one item I may have to bring back. I LOVED my bongo board growing up and it was so much fun. I thought it would be fun for my children too. Unfortunately I picked the wrong one.
