Slideboard for indoor "skating"

Morgan1 started this discussion · 2/23/2010

Has anyone here or their SO ever used or built a slide board for exercise? After watching the Olympics speed skating and seeing their rocking built thighs and rear-ends ( I personally looove a big booty!) I'm looking to construct my own slide board to mimic speed skating indoors. I love roller skating ( used to play roller derby) but winter sucks and sometimes in the summer it's too busy to skate outside. Anyone into skating or hockey and know the best way to build one? Thanks!

I remember like a little over 10 years ago after the step thing came the indoor slide /skate thingy! I wanted it and thought it looked so fun, never got it and it didn't seem to last long,, what it was was a flexy sheet of something with "stoppers " at the ends and you wore booties over your shoes. I have seen something more expensive and substantial in a phystical therapy setting where your shoes are placed in holders that slide over a track but I don't remember if also rocked side to side or stayed still while you moved.

that looks like it but the price seems way better than it used to be, seriously like 100.00! It also seems like it is fairly long too. I think it would be fun!
