LeeW Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Are those gadgets useful for carving/racing training as well as conditioning ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I used one a little four years ago rehabbing my knee (ACL). My gut instinct i sthat they will help develop muscles, but won't really help tecnique. they don't truly represent enough of an edge angle. furthermore, you have to be angulating, keeing the upper body vertical due to the lack of centrifugal force. you cant inclinate. no extreme carving here...

willywhit Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I got one at a Sharper Image auction for $20 years ago and they're kinda silly.We'd bring it out at parties for the drunko fun factor. ncer is right , no technique help at all. I gave mine away to the ski club. If you see one at a yard sale for cheap, pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think a wooble or Rolo board would be more useful and infinitely cheaper...says he who is now spending time rehabing his ankle...I will never escape the injuries of my youth....thankfully I just rolled it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
