5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Star product, July 23, 2007

By	Zai - See all my reviews

I love this slider, awesome workout and its fun! I love that it's light weight so it's portable and it comes with a bag to carry it in. Learning curve is 15min or less. If your already into speed skating, roller blading or ice skating I would recommended the 10ft version, but no matter what length you get the workout is intense!! One great thing about it is that it strengthens your legs without making you sore to the point of discomfort. I love it! Spray some pledge on it and do it with sneakers as it gives you more speed.

4.0 out of 5 stars 8ft Powerslide Slide Board Lateral Exercise Trainer, February 27, 2008

By	Francene P. (Bethel, CT United States) - See all my reviews

I just received my Powerslide and had a chance to test it out. It was easy to assemble and took no time at all. I must say it was great fun, and a good low impact cardio workout. The 8 ft slide was plenty long, and I am glad I did not get the 10 ft. one. I do suggest to use Pledge to make the surface more slippery for better movement.
This slide is not for beginners. I have been a skater since childhood so I picked up on it pretty quick. I could imagine this being dangerous for those with less experience or coordination. Also, for those with lower back stiffness, don't lean too far forward because it can put some pressure on your lower back.
Overall, I feel this equipment was worth the price and a more thrilling option for a cardio workout. I have to admit, at one point I felt like a kid again.
Great job to Athletic Innovations, Inc., who shipped my order the same day I placed it, and had it at my door the next day!

1.0 out of 5 stars Be Cautious!, May 24, 2008

By	Radiant Smiler "Still smiling radiantly !-D" (Upstate, New York) - See all my reviews

I returned this product after 3 weeks and, like the previous buyer, I was charged about $50.00 too. The quality is not worth it. The slide does not stay on the ground properly. It is rolled when you receive it and for some reason I could never unroll it so that it remained flat. There was a permanent curl at the end and it would end up rolling at each end automatically! This was dangerous because I nearly fell several times trying to slide and the curved ends were not secure. The company should put the rubber backing on the entire product not just the end. Anyway, save your time and money and research other products because you will be charged for shipping and restocking too...if returned.
