BYG Slideboards by Dave Perri
When it comes to resistance training for hockey players, there’s no piece of equipment more versatile or more iconic than the slideboard. They’ve been a staple of every speed skater’s workout regimen since they were invented in the 1980s. It’s hard to find a resistance training exercise more similar to a skating stride than the exercises an athlete can perform on a slideboard.
As a niche item, I find that commercial boards are often overly expensive or poorly designed. That’s why I’ve been making my own since 2008, both for myself to use at Build Your Game and for individual players upon request.
We currently are offering these for Twin Cities metro area local delivery and curbside pick-up, but if you are from out of town, please contact us and we can figure in shipping.
Why Choose My Slideboards?
- The sleek design gives my boards a very small footprint, allowing them to be slid under a bed or behind a couch when not in use
- Harder plastic than most commercial models makes my boards more slippery and helps them stay that way longer
- Special treads allow my boards to be safely used on any carpeted floor, preventing them from “walking” into nearby furniture, a common problem with many commercial models
- Angled bumpers with thick foam cushioning are more comfortable for feet when pushing off
- My boards are a full 8 feet long, not that weak 6 foot stuff
