[Gingerjoe]

[Gingerjoe]

[Lukie-J]

I think i'm too big for that! :-P
haha, i cant actually afford £5!!!
Got MOT soon so gotta save the pennies!

[Gingerjoe]

haha, asif, the fingerboarding scene is massive now, they take a while to make, but a fiver here & there, I cant complain. so do you skate then?

[Lukie-J]

not at all, ive tried skating but i just cant co-ordinate my feet!
I'm terrible at football as well.
i saw something similar to this balance board at NASS in 2005. it was more sturdy and used a wooden cylinder with a slot cut out which fit into a piece of wood attached to the bottom of the board.
I had a go on it and was great fun but they were knocking on £100!

IndoBoard? for practicing your balance?

[JohnGordon]

That is a great idea! I wish I still had an old deck

Yeah, dont think the name was indoboard but was the same thing.
something like voo-do or view-do

This is good enough though essentially for the cost of a coke bottle!!

John Gordon, my friend has done it with a £5 skateboard from Argos, just rip the wheels off and away you go!!
I found it much more challenging if you fill the bottle completely to the brim with water (and make sure the lids on tight!)
Bottle doesn't compress as much.

I find it quite tiring after a while so i count it as my excersise for the day!!
