Abstract: An apparatus designed to allow the user to simulate the action of a snowboard during dryland training. The apparatus has a cylindrical roller that has tapered or angled surface at the outer portions of the roller. The tapered sections may have slots cut into them which would allow for a stepping effect from one tapered surface to the other. Attached to the lower surface of the receiving board are spacers. These spacers provide stability to the apparatus, while at the same time permitting unconventional radial, lateral and yaw motions to the receiving board and roller. The receiving board is attached to the lower surface of the upper deck by using vertical lifts attached between the receiving board and the upper deck. The receiving board may also include a gripping surface material between the lower surface of the receiving board and the roller. The upper surface or deck of the apparatus has a concave outer edge to provide increased surface contact with the feet of the user.

Abstract: A portable motor skill development low beam formed of an elongated generally flat base having, on the upper surface, spaced apart, paralleled short vertical height ridges and an elongated beam member of generally inverted U-shaped cross-sectional configuration providing a top generally planar upper surface and integral, opposed, downwardly extending side portions each having a lower edge that rests upon the base member, the lower edges of the side portions being received by the base portion vertical ridges so that the beam member is supported on the base portion providing an upper surface for use by a gymnast, the beam member being easily detachable from the base member so that the device can be quickly disassembled for ease of transportation.
