Indo Rocker Board?

gnargnar · Guest

Has anyone tried one of these indo boards? I can't seem to find any reviews online, but it looks like a pretty good tool to use indoors practicing for skating and snowboarding.

they are fun, but dangerous for your non boarding friends to think they can do it. they are actually great core and leg trainers, along with balance.

fill a 2 liter coke bottle for the roller and use an old skateboard deck. just as good and you save $130 Laughing

loganhursh, If you're using it inside I'd make sure you don't fill it with water... Take my word for it. Laughing

i have a regular shaped indo board i use it when i can't skate. pretty fun and builds balance. you can do shuvs and stuff on them too.

be prepared to have the board shoot out on shuv's. it's a good idea to make sure nothing important is in the room.

thanks for the feedback. Living in Colorado means there isn't much of a wakeskate season or skateboarding season, so I like to exercise for the boardsports in any way I can when the ground is covered in snow. Also, definitely used to rock the 2 liter but I'm not a broke college kid anymore and I thought the rocker indo might improve my skate and snow game. A friend has one and he loves his, but it is not the rocker model. My girl would be getting it for my birthday and I wouldn't spend that much on myself.

thats retardly expensive... get a thick pvc pipe and use a skateboard, works exactly the same.

Well, if you want to put rockers on a skate deck its not hard, just get some scrap wood and a few screws!

I love actual indo board decks, don't mind spending the extra money at all. skatefilly and I used to do some intense 5h!t on those things, never had to worry about it breaking. I think I'm getting one of these!
