Better Hockey Extreme Slide Board - Portable IceHockey Training Aid, For Stamina, Endurance, Strength, Agility and Speed - Used by the Pros, Adjustable Length, With 3 pair of Booties, Size S, M, and L

When my family moved away from the hockey-crazed town I grew up in, I thought my hockey days were over. There's a dilapidated basketball court I would never dare skate on, and apart from occasionally slapping a pick around there, I was right. Then I discovered this product.I discovered slide boards on YouTube, looking for a good way to put some hockey back into my workout routine, and if you search "office hockey rink" you're likely to see the same video. It was for a different slide board but the idea was the same. And this guy had these tiles for stickhandling, and a fancy dangler and passer, and I was fascinated. I've never had a home gym, but I really wanted a "home rink"! And that's what I got in this slide board (I don't have any of the other stuff yet, but can't wait till I can swing it lol).It works fine on carpet, but I don't recommend it if you can avoid it. I've been using it in my bedroom, and today I noticed one of the ends had moved on me. I was pushing the end off the slidey part with my stride. I expect this is because, when used on a hard surface as they suggest, the rubber base grips the floor better than it would carpet.Anyway, the product is as advertised, pretty pricey but worth it. I've been using it in my room for well over a week now, and I've even been stickhandling a foam ball (and using the box the slide board came in as a poor man's passer). I still want to buy some of those tiles so I can use a real puck, and (like the guy in the video) some tiles to put under the slide board, but honestly I'm EXTREMELY satisfied with the slide board by itself! Sliding around on it feels very much like skating, and I love that you can adjust the width (I don't have near as wide a stride even though I'm a pretty big dude). The "booties" fit snugly around my sneakers (I use the biggest booties and wear a size 12 shoe), and the slide board is easy enough to pack up once you get the hang of it. Packing it up does take some figuring out at first, but I've gotten to where I can set it up AND put my sneakers/booties on in ~4 minutes (the same goes for packing it up and taking my shoes off).Bottom line, this is a DANG good piece of training equipment. If you love hockey but live in an area where there are no rinks for a hundred miles, you gotta have this. If you're a serious hockey player looking for some off-season training, I would recommend it to you too (MAN do I wish I had this when I played in college!). As for me, I feel like I'm playing hockey again! And someday (Lord willing) I'll get to a real rink and skate like I never stopped playing. :)

I was surprised at how good of a burn your legs get from this. Only reason I did 4 stars is because the ends move a little more than I would like. I'm a 200 lbs guy so I'm sliding with a lot of weight towards them but wish the ends would move so much

Sturdy, adjustable, slick. Only recommendation would be to allow varying order size of the booties. I wear 12 1/2 shoes. The larger booties provided do fit… barely. Great slide board! As a runner, I use it for cross training

This does everything it says it does. Works great. Easy to use

Broke a part very quickly. I used it with the provided booties over my socks and my feet kept sliding under the bracket that holds the board together. I kept tightening it but it kept happening. Also the stoppers would not hold in place. The stoppers would get wider and wider. Again I kept tightening and that didn’t solve the issue.Then I tried wearing shoes and the provided booties would not fit over my shoes. I used hockey socks over my shoes and this seemed the solve the issue with my feet going under the bracket but the bracket would still get wider and wider. I kept tightening until the bracket finally snapped from tightening.

Makes training at home possible. My 11 year old figure skater is benefiting from being able to improve power strokes and general strength. Appears to be very durable. Moving it and folding/rolling it back into storage is not easy and fast but it is manufactured to last.

The end boards creep and if the board is on carpet will also creep. Best to use on a hard floor surface.

Pros:✔Durability - you can pass this on to your great, great, great grand kids✔easy to adjust - just twist the knobs and slide the end adjusters✔mat does not slip (on my gym floor which has typical foam flooring material), the end pieces are extremely heavy so I doubt it will slide on just about any surface✔The sliding surface is quite slipperyCons:✔yes, the end adjusters do slide out of adjustment as you use it, after 5 minutes they're way off...✔If you don't wear shoes, your feet will get caught under the end adjustors (that have a gap under them)✔How on earth do you store this thing? Big, heavy, floppy, hard to roll up (unwieldy and does not roll tightly), you need a huge bungee cord, and once you roll it up - where do you put it?✔Oil used to make it slippery comes of on my gym floor - making it slippery (a huge consideration if you are going from board sliding to some other floor exercise).So you have several problems to solve, if you plan to keep this thing.

I received the slide board this evening! 3 minutes to remove from box, unroll on hardwood floor, couple of seconds to adjust length, put slider socks on, and slide. I read some of the other reviews where people had issues with slide board didn't sit well, slid on them, and other issues. I am a former player, weigh 200 pounds, have used slide boards for over 35 years, and this by far is the best slide board I have used. I bought this thing for my 14 year old daughter, who plays elite level hockey, and she loves it. This board is an excellent product and would highly recommend it for anyone wanting to develop leg strength for all sports!

Sehr gutes Produkt und sehr glatt. Dadurch das es in der Länge verstellbar ist ist es für alle Altersklassen geeignet. Wenn die glatte Oberfläche nach lassen sollte, einfach mit Silikon–Spray nach sprühen. Ich bin mit dem Produkt sehr zufrieden. Ja, leider muss ich sagen das ich beim verpacken Probleme hab, ich bekomme es nicht hin, 5 Sterne, ist mein Problem.

Santa brought this for my hockey enthusiast 10 year old, it is a great workout and he loves it. My only complaint is that I find it hard to roll back up so it is best if you have a permanent home for it to stay setup. It takes 2 people to put this thing away. I really like how you can adjust the width to match their size and stride. We had a 17 year old using it and within seconds my 10 year old is on it, super easy to adjust and comes with different size boots which is unique to some of the other brands.

The media could not be loaded. Stick handling on Sliding Board🏒🛹😄:It helps the stick handling and the legs working indipendently. Stick handling is much more precise on ice during striding after this off ice exercise compared to the stick handling practice in stationary position.

Only had it for two days, but all my hockey kids ( 5, 9 and 11 Y/O) love it. It took like 5 mins to get used to it and it works us hard. I did 20 mins slide board workout today and all my kids did 15 mins side-2-side, and it was more fun because you are "skating".Ordered the hockey mat from em too and it should work well with this board for stick-handling. Good decision so far.
