Looking Great, January 10, 2011

By
Bongo Gal(Eureka Illinois)
I had the original Bongo Board in the 50's. The current version is great but will take me a while to "master" this one. I was in my teen's when I had the original so now in my 70's will take it slow but hope to be able to 'ride' again.

Fun and Active!, January 3, 2011
|
By
Mother of two active girls!(Colorado Springs, CO)
I have two daughters ages 11 and 9. My 11 year old first discovered the bongo board at the fitness center in her middle school. She really wanted one for Christmas and I initially balked at the price. In search of last minute gifts, my dad ended up buying this. Both of the girls use it and are getting very talented at balancing and doing some tricks! They use it even while watching TV! It is defenitely worth the price. I think it is a sturdy, compact piece of workout equipment to have available to the whole family.

I bought this for my 10-year old son. He makes it look so easy. Just gets on and has lots of fun while watching TV. I tried it when he wasn't home -- I'll keep my cell close by next time I get the nerve to try it to call rescue!

I have found that in order to use this product I need to hold on to something to use the Bongo Board. I'm sure with more practice I will be able to use this without holding on. The quality of the board is very good.
The only problem I have faced so far is the instruction booklet was wet when I received the package so I can't read the booklet.

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.

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.
