Balance and Spin Practice Board

Abstract

This device is a balance board used for core exercise, balance training, and training for rotational motion applicable to various board sports. The invention consists of a board or deck upon which the user stands having the shape and contours of a traditional skateboard deck. On the underside of the board are three half spherical fulcrum points fixed at specific locations. The primary fulcrum point is the largest and is located in the center of the board. The additional two fulcrum points are smaller and are located one each at the nose and tail of the board. This orientation allows the user to spin freely on the board on a horizontal axis. Rotational motion is possible on any of the three fulcrum points depending on the user's ability.

1 . A balancing apparatus consisting of a skateboard deck on which the user stands having on the underside of the board a fixed half spherical fulcrum point located in the center of the board with respect to both the x and y axis. 
     
     
         2 . A balancing apparatus according to  claim 1  that has two additional and smaller half spherical fulcrum points fixed directly under the curved portion of the nose and tail of the board. 
     
     
         3 . The secondary fulcrum points referenced in  claim 2  are aligned at a specific angle to allow lifting of the primary fulcrum off the ground and allowing free rotation when balanced upon. 
     
     
         4 . A balancing apparatus according to  claim 1  and  claim 2  that is symmetrical across both the X and Y axis.
