Exercise device for action sports training

Abstract

An exercise device for action sports training is introduced herein. The device is configured for training and conditioning of the muscles associated with moto-induced CECS or “arm pump”. In various embodiments the exercise device can be configured for self-standing; mounting to a stationary object; or a combination thereof.

1 . An exercise device for action sports training, comprising:
 a rigid tubular frame having a front side and a rear side;   a seat assembly;   a handlebar assembly; and   a shock absorber;   the seat assembly being coupled to the rigid tubular frame at the rear side thereof;   the handlebar assembly being coupled to the rigid tubular frame at a pivot, the pivot being disposed between the front side and the rear side of the rigid tubular frame and configured to promote pivoting movement of the handlebar assembly about the rigid tubular frame;   the shock absorber having a first mount and a second mount, the second mount being disposed opposite of the first mount, the first mount being coupled to the rigid tubular frame near the front side thereof, and the second mount being coupled to the handlebar assembly;   wherein the exercise device is configured to provide resistive training during translation of the handlebar assembly in each of a forward and backward direction.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , further comprising an adjustable hitch adapter for engaging the device with a hitch receiver of a motorized vehicle. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , comprising one or more standing braces for maintaining the device in an upright position on a flat surface. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise device of  claim 3 , wherein one or more of the standing braces are adjustable about a plurality of angles within a horizontal base plane. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , further comprising a dynamic foot peg assembly extending outwardly from the bottom portion of the handlebar assembly, the dynamic foot peg assembly comprising one or more elongated structural elements, and a pair of opposing foot pegs, wherein the foot peg assembly is configured to extend from the handlebar assembly at a fixed angle therebetween, and wherein the foot peg assembly is configured to communicate resistance of the shock absorber. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , further comprising a static foot peg assembly, the static foot peg assembly being configured to adjustably engage with a vertical structural element extending between the seat assembly and one or more rear standing braces. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the first mounting point of the shock absorber comprises an adjustable shock mount configured for positioning vertically about a vertical portion of the rigid frame. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , further comprising a wheel assembly for portability; said wheel assembly comprising a wheel coupled to the device at a wheel bracket. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , the handlebar assembly comprising pivoting handlebars configured to pivot the handlebars about a yaw axis and a roll axis. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , comprising a handlebar pivot lockout configured to engage a pin extending through the forks for locking the handlebar assembly in a fixed position relative to the pivot. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , comprising a handlebar pivot lockout configured to engage a pin extending through the forks for locking the handlebar assembly in a fixed position relative to the pivot. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , further comprising a resistive pedal assembly. 
     
     
         13 . The exercise device of  claim 12 , wherein said resistive pedal assembly is removeably attached to the frame of the device. 
     
     
         14 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein said shock absorber is an adjustable shock absorber for providing adjustable resistance about the pivoting handlebar assembly.
