Power and stabilizing apparatus

Abstract

A power and stabilizing apparatus for rolling or sliding-based recreational activities is disclosed. The apparatus may include a shafted body coupled to a biased member. The biased member may be a bowed biased member or any other biased member configured to store and release energy during use of the apparatus. The apparatus may also include a shoe coupled to the biased member opposite the body, the shoe having a traction element coupled thereto. The body may be a shafted telescoping body configured to lock in an extended position and lock in a retracted position. The body may be coupled to the bowed biased member with a coupling member having a first leg coupled to the body and a second leg coupled to the bowed biased member.

1 . A recreational power and stabilizing apparatus, comprising:
 an elongated handle body;   a bowed biased member coupled to the elongated handle body, the bowed biased member comprising a first end positioned proximate the elongated handle body, a second end opposite the first end, and an arc extending longitudinally relative to an axis of the elongated handle body; and   a shoe coupled to and supported by the second end of the biased member.
