I love it. A friend of mine has one of these and I tried it. I had to have one. The fitness part is great but the pure entertainment quality is priceless. This is great fun!!!

Better than ever, February 8, 2010
|
By
"Bongo Pro"(Los Angeles)
I grew up with a Bongo Board and wanted to get one for my godson and his brothers and sisters. I knew it would provide lots of fun and lots of good exercise at the same time.
Before I ordered one, though, I was surprised to see that my Bongo Board had changed--but it got better. The construction quality is higher, the design changes are improvements, and the new board is sturdier. It's also tougher to master. I know because I tried it out right after it arrived and found it more difficult to achieve left-right balance.
But it's still lots of fund and good exercise. Highly recommended!

Fun & Challenging, January 10, 2010
|
By
Nancy & friends(Philadelphia, PA)
A fun and challenging way to train for sports requiring balance. Well made, and the elastic band works great - keeps the wheel from getting lost.

Amazing, November 3, 2009

By
Snowboarder(New Jersey)
Love this board -- there is so much you can do with it -- as he demonstrated also doing push ups -- you can also do squats in it phenomenal for core and better balance. Bought it about 5 years ago -- still doing well -- practice spins on it and aerial tricks.

Great Buy, August 24, 2009
|
By
the balancer(oakland, ca)
The bungee cord at the bottom is a window/wall/leg saver! The 1st board I had didn't have the cord and 1st time users would send the board flying.
The price is right too!

Old School, August 15, 2009
|
By
Craig(Lancaster, OH)
I know nothing about this most recent design, but I love the one that my Dad had in the '60's. I love it so much that I still have it and it's in great condition considering its age. I have recently introduced it to my in-laws and we have a blast on it. If the new model is anything like the old, then I would say that it's a great purchase.

great indoor fun and practice, February 24, 2009

By

My kids use it constantly to increase their snowboard/skateboard abilities indoors. It is solid well built and doesn't take up a lot of room even when they are using it.

great product, February 21, 2009
|
By
jnrj60(Denver, Pa)
I feel that working out on the bongo has improved my workouts 100%. Not only is it fun (and unusual in the gym) but has helped me improve my core strength, and balance. I am sure that it will help in my interest in surfing this summer, but also works those muscles we don't work on a regular basis....thank you for a great product.

Fun for all ages, February 14, 2009
|
By
Senator Wind Bag(Tacoma, WA)
I bought this as it reminded me of my youth and the original Bongo Board our family had. My father was a former Soccer Goalie and when he became a coach he had the goalies use it for footwark and balance.
The new design is beyond my wildest imagination as to its abilities for my kids that snowboard and water ski. It gives the user the ability to make is go in many directions with the tapered wheel that adds to its fun.
Great product and it works better on hard floors and cement then it does on carpet but it is good to start on carpet until you are used to it.
My youngest son is leaving for Marine Corp. boot camp this summer and wants to take it with him it is that good.

Bungie cord that holds stone on fraying in first weeks of use. Other than that this is an excellent device

Excellent exercise, January 26, 2009
|
By
Chris(Long Beach, Calif.)
This is an excellent exercise. It looks intimidating at first, but then you get the hang of it. Don't get too complacent though! You can fall even if you have mastered it!

don't know bout this one but, (have not tried this particular one), January 19, 2009
|
By
Gligger(Elmira,NY)
back in the 80's we used to have one with no wire or anything like that and therefore was a lot more challenging, do to the fact that either the board or person could easily be thrown from the thing. also there were only nine made in the U.S.
