Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My SPRI Slide Board arrived yesterday evening. I opened the box this morning and found a neatly packaged product. Everything seems to be well made. I first unrolled the product onto a carpeted area. As expected, because this product has been manufactured and shipped rolled-up, so it wanted to curl. I reverse-rolled it to take out the curl. It then laid flat. I put on the supplied booties over my street shoes and started to slide. It's very slick. It didn't perform well on the carpet because the slide material is fairly thin and tended to sink into the carpet because of my body weight, making my slides awkward. I then moved the slide board to a tiled surface. The underside of the board has an anti-slip material that works well. As I began sliding on the tiled floor, everything came into place. Sliding was effortless. The board didn't move as I exercised. When I ordered this board, I was concerned that a six-foot long board would not be long enough, but after my first exercise, six feet seems to be just about right for my 5'9" frame. I think I'm gonna love this. **UPDATE** April 20, 2020 Following multiple uses I can say that this product continues to perform well, and the interesting thing is, by modifying my movements a bit, I transformed my workout into a perfect bump skiing workout. If you watch the many slide board YouTube videos, you'll see that everyone crouches down bent at the waist, keeping their feet apart, and their heads centered between their legs. To go into bump-skiing mode, stand up tall, hands in front, and as you slide, leave your head centered exactly in the center of the board. Instead of keeping your feet apart, bring your feet together as you slide, bending at the ankles so that you're in a crouch (with your upper body still erect) with your feet together as you reach the end of the board. This is perfect bump-skiing form and will kick your *ss is a very short time. Another note: I keep a bottle of Pledge furniture polish with this board, and do a quick "dusting" prior to each workout. It keeps the board super slick. I am delighted with this purchase.
