SPRI Slide Board (71" L x 20" W) with End Stops, Sliding Booties, Mesh Carrying Bag and Exercise Guide for Low Impact Balance Training (Skating, Hockey)

After reviewing the negative ratings I was concerned with buying this, but after a week of heavy use, I am pleasantly surprised. Great length, not sure why people find it difficult to get the whole way across - if you apply some spray lubricant (sold seperately), it’s just a matter of effort. It lies perfectly flat, so no issue there. One time it slipped a little (pun intended) to one side when my foot came into contact with the edge piece. It’s perfectly wide enough that you don’t slip off, and it rolls up nicely for storage. Good value for the price, very functional, fits the desire use perfectly. I’ll update over time if anything changes but one heck of a workout can be had with this product.

I can't speak on durability over time but I've used 2x and it's a great workout. You may be surprised how quickly you tire. The quality is really nice for the cost. Doesn't feel flimsy. Comes with a nice drawstring bag. I definitely feel it in my thighs after using it a few minutes. I tried it on carpet and it's does work but will not stay put on rugs so, as instructed, use on bare floor. On a rug it will shift left or right and you'll find yourself trying to re-adjust it over and over. It has a pad underneath that's sort of like gripping shelf liner that works well to keep the mat in 1 place with minor to no sliding around on bare floor.

I always read reviews before I order things. I read the reviews on this carefully and decided the negative feedback might not apply to me. Years ago I had a rebok slide and loved it. I used it often and over the years it degraded. So 20 years later I'm looking at another Chicago winter where I need a good indoor workout to supplement my spin bike. I remembered the slide and lo and behold here's one reasonably priced on Amazon, shipped and sold by them so if it doesn't work out I can return it. First it came in one day, probably just lucky where I live. Yes it wants to curl because it's been stored in a box, so role it the other way to store it or fold it over for storage so you don't need to roll it. The bag and booties are good and the slide itself is very slick. It needs to be slick or you can't slide. Now, if you have animals, dog hair, floor dust etc., you need to be careful not to transfer this to the board with your booties or by rolling it up. Keep it clean it should stay slick. I am a 5'5" female, 59 years old and very fit. If the board were any more narrow it'd be too narrow. If it were any longer I would probably have difficulty getting myself from one side to the other. A little push off and arm movement is needed, you can lift and twist a knee and get a good ab workout. This is an excellent workout for legs, specifically inner thigh, excellent core, balance and cardio. I recall it will not work well on carpet, so some kind of hard surface is really needed. So I got 45 minutes in on it within an hour of it showing up at the house. Ice storm outside. Very pleased with the purchase, and I will update if I encounter any negative issues. UPDATE: After using this just two times it became difficult to slide. I washed the board and rinsed out the booties and was really surprised how much dust accumulated. Anyway, I have a simple solution to getting the board "like new." Take a piece of waxed paper and rub it on the slide and on the bootie bottoms. Use the bootie bottoms to move the waxed paper. Then very CAREFULLY begin sliding again, super slick. If you've been pushing hard to navigate the entire less slick board, just know the waxed paper will make it "like new" slick again and you won't need to push off as hard to get to the other side. Still very happy in Chicago with another indoor workout option. It's still stupid cold here.

My SPRI Slide Board arrived yesterday evening. I opened the box this morning and found a neatly packaged product. Everything seems to be well made. I first unrolled the product onto a carpeted area. As expected, because this product has been manufactured and shipped rolled-up, so it wanted to curl. I reverse-rolled it to take out the curl. It then laid flat. I put on the supplied booties over my street shoes and started to slide. It's very slick. It didn't perform well on the carpet because the slide material is fairly thin and tended to sink into the carpet because of my body weight, making my slides awkward. I then moved the slide board to a tiled surface. The underside of the board has an anti-slip material that works well. As I began sliding on the tiled floor, everything came into place. Sliding was effortless. The board didn't move as I exercised. When I ordered this board, I was concerned that a six-foot long board would not be long enough, but after my first exercise, six feet seems to be just about right for my 5'9" frame. I think I'm gonna love this. **UPDATE** April 20, 2020 Following multiple uses I can say that this product continues to perform well, and the interesting thing is, by modifying my movements a bit, I transformed my workout into a perfect bump skiing workout. If you watch the many slide board YouTube videos, you'll see that everyone crouches down bent at the waist, keeping their feet apart, and their heads centered between their legs. To go into bump-skiing mode, stand up tall, hands in front, and as you slide, leave your head centered exactly in the center of the board. Instead of keeping your feet apart, bring your feet together as you slide, bending at the ankles so that you're in a crouch (with your upper body still erect) with your feet together as you reach the end of the board. This is perfect bump-skiing form and will kick your *ss is a very short time. Another note: I keep a bottle of Pledge furniture polish with this board, and do a quick "dusting" prior to each workout. It keeps the board super slick. I am delighted with this purchase.

Lo compré para mi esposo que practica hockey y le fascinó, le ayuda mucho a mejorar su resistencia y fortalecer sus piernas, resbala bien y no ocupa mucho espacio en casa

Easy to set up, the board includes booties that are slick enough to make advanced athletes work hard, but not too slick to scare off those that are new to the drills. Rolls up nice in a travel pack. Love the product and so do my athletes and staff. Great buy. Only caution is that it’s not heavy duty, so don’t expect Olympic athletes to vibe with it. Go make your own in that case.

Slide Board for $66.27 Haven't used a board like this before but I wanted to get this for my son to work his legs to improve his skating stride. The board sticks pretty well on the hardwood floor and it was fun to use. I could feel the stride uses all the same muscles your using when skating. My muscles got a great workout! My son's kind of young, so the boards a little too long for him, so he has to push off a lot harder to get to the other side. Eventually he was able to do it and I can't compare it to other slide boards but for the price I think it works very well. The other specific hockey slide board I was originally looking at was more than quadruple the price. It also comes with a exercise guide which is handy to have. Overall , for the price, it's a great deal. Only thing that could have been better was if they added a couple extra shoes covers.

Llegó antes de lo programado. Buena calidad del producto. Excelente ejercicio para fortalecer piernas y abdomen y como ejercicio para cardio.
