How to Ride on One Ball

These steps are based on a goofy foot rider. A goofy foot rider places his/her right foot forward when skateboarding, snowboarding, or surfing. A regular foot stance is when the left foot is forward. If riding regular foot, change the directions from left to right and vice versa. See RIDING PRECAUTIONS for instructions with a spotter.

• Step 1: Put the board on the floor and the ball to the left of the board.
• Step 2: Place the ball under the board and inside the rail on the left side of the board. Do not place the ball in the center of the board or under the right side. The right side of the board should contact the ground and the left side should be up in the air supported by the ball.
• Step 3: Place your right foot on the board near the edge. Use the rail bolts as a guide. If your foot is placed too far inside of the rail bolt it is difficult to balance because the ball will roll to the outside of your foot. Keep your feet pointed forward.
• Step 4: With your weight on your right foot place your left foot on the board near the edge. You should have a wide stance that is comfortable for you. Again use the rail bolt as a guide.
• Step 5: Squat down and shift your weight slowly to your left foot. As you balance your left foot on the ball the right side of the board will lift off the ground. Put your arms out to the sides for added stability.
• Step 6: Shift your weight from your left and right to move the board on the ball. Your motion will come from your hips while your upper body maintains a center position over the board. Squat down for added stability. For beginners, it is best to do this while holding onto a counter top. With this movement sequence you will learn your coordination. While holding on move left and right, forward and backward, twist your hips and then move your hips in a circle making the board move clockwise and counterclockwise. Now stay centered and gently let go of the spotter. It will be easier for you to react and keep your balance. Check out the video.
• Step 7: At first you will look at the board for visual feedback of the board placement. As you progress and gain better balance, look forward and keep your eyes level as you would with other board sports.
• Step 8: After you feel comfortable with the board movements, ride the board like you would your sport board. Rip the waves, carve the slopes, thrash the concrete..

How to Stop

Just like any sport, falling off your board is part of learning better balance and skill. Here are some suggestions to stop or fall gracefully from your Si-Board.

• Step 1: If you feel yourself getting unbalanced and the ball is under the right foot shift your weight to your left foot and ground the left side of the board. If you feel unbalanced on your left foot, shift your weight to your right foot and ground the right side of the board.
• Step 2: If you feel unbalanced because the ball is moving to the front of you and your toes, push your toes down, move your hips backward and lean your shoulders forward. If you are still unbalanced grab the front of the board and ground the board backward. The board will be at a steep angle as you hang on. Step backwards and off of the board.
• Step 3: If you feel unbalanced because the ball is moving to the back of you and under your heels, push your heels down, move your hips forward and lean your shoulders backward. If you are still unbalanced and the ball is under your heels ground the board forward and step off forward.
• Step 4: Advanced riders can jump off the board for safety.

How to Ride on Two Balls

Si-Boards can be used with two balls for another unique ride. There are several ways to ride the board using two balls. When standing on the board you will feel like you are floating. Or you can ride with your hands and feel like you are in the tube while surfing- this will also give you a great core stability workout.

Standing on Two Balls

• Step 1: Put the board on the ground and place a ball at each end of the board.
• Step 2: Place a ball under the board and inside of the rail. Place each ball close to the end as possible. If the balls are close together, the ride is more difficult.
• Step 3: Place your right foot on the board near the end and over the ball. The board will feel like it is floating forward and backward. You can place your left foot on the board if you feel more comfortable.
• Step 4: Steady the board and shift your weight to your right foot. Step up using your right leg and place your left foot on the board. You should have a shoulder width stance.
• Step 5: You will feel the board floating left and right and forward and backward. You can move the board in small movements. You will learn how to balance on your toes and heels.
• Step 6: Advanced users can step in the middle of the board on one foot and balance on one foot.
• Step 7: You can cross step or change foot positions like you would long board surfing. Start at one end of the board and squat down for added support.
• Step 8: Cross your right leg in front or behind your left leg and make contact with the board.
• Step 9: Move your left leg forward and contact the board.
• Step 10: You should now be at the other end of the board. Move back and forth.

Add Your Upper Body

• Step 1: Put the board on the ground and place a ball at each end of the board. Place a ball under the board and inside of the rail. Place each ball close to the end as possible. If the balls are close together, the ride is more difficult.
• Step 2: Step to the side of the board. Place your hands at the end of the board. Level the board with your hands. Your hands and shoulders will help you maintain balance when on the board.
• Step 4: Put the foot closest to the board on the rear of the board and steady yourself. Then put the other foot on the front of the board.
• Step 5: Hold on tight and use your upper body and legs for balance. The board will shift from side to side. You can switch your feet while your hands are on the board. You can also stand up from the position after you set your feet to a comfortable position. Or you can put your knees on the board and maintain balance. Try maintaining balance with one foot on the board.

On Your Belly

• Step 1: While on your belly on the board balance yourself with your feet on the floor. You will pop up like on a surf board. While in this position, you can incorporate stretch bands and simulate upper body motions.
• Step 2: Get in a push-up position with your hands grabbing the side and front end of the board. Push up quickly and move your feet under your body.
• Step 3: You should have your feet in a stance that is comfortable.
• Step 4: Adjust your feet and stand from this position.

Combining Motions

Train your upper body, core stability, and legs at the same time. These exercises require great core strength and stability. Do not attempt these exercises unless you are able to do them on the ground on a stable surface. Use a spotter when necessary. Adding other exercise devices increases the risk of injury from the devices and complex movements. Always follow the safety precautions of the exercise devices. Placing two balls under the board makes the exercises easier. Here are a few suggestions. Be creative and think outside of the normal routine exercises. The possibilities are endless.

• Step 1: Use the board for push-ups. Keep your back straight and avoid sagging your stomach toward the ground. Increase the difficulty of all push-up positions by balancing on one leg, foot, or knee. Put your feet under an unstable surface like a balance disc or pad. Change the position of your feet from a wide to narrow stance to increase the difficulty.
• Step 2: Change your hand position or shoulder position while doing push-ups. Narrow your hand position to work your triceps or widen your hand stance for more chest strength. Try a diamond or military push-up with your hands above your head for even greater shoulder stability. You can have your hands on the board top, grabbing the side of the board, or both.
• Step 3: Challenge your shoulders with movement, stability, and strength at the same time. Try moving the board from left to right, forward and backward, or in a circle. Next, move the board while doing push-ups. If you want an even greater challenge, lift one foot up, or put your foot on an unstable balance disc. These exercises require great coordination, upper body strength, and core stability.
• Step 4: Train your upper body coordination, core strength, and lower body balance simultaneously. Maintain a centered position and throw a weighted ball to a partner. Squat down for added stability. Move the weighted ball in various positions. You will feel the board shifting you. Try getting in a basketball free throw shooting stance and holding your balance. Bounce the weighted ball, and then motion to shoot a free throw. Mimic your sport movements such as swinging a bat, racquet, or stick, volleyball passing or setting, catching a ball, throwing a ball, or martial arts. You can incorporate board movements with your sport skills. For example, after every ball pass you can squat down and touch the board or you move the board from left to right and then re-center.
• Step 5: Incorporate strength training with balance. Use our Resistance Band System and move your arms and shoulders in various patterns. The weights or bands can be connected to cables or on the wall. Try bicep curls and tricep extensions with hand weights.

Ultimate Fitness Board

• Step 1: Secure the long loop strap through a hole in the board for the resistance bands. Hold the loop strap with the first metal O-ring at the end of the strap furthest away from the board. 
• Step 2: Thread the long loop strap through the top of the board until the third o-ring touches the top of the board.
• Step 3: Thread the first metal O-ring at the end through the strap loop. Do not thread the loop strap through the metal O-ring. Pull the strap tight and the three O-rings are free for attachment.
• Step 4: Attach one or several resistance bands to the O-ring. Attach the other end of the resistance bands to the handle or the foot strap.
• Step 5: You can use the second or third O-ring without having excess strapping touching the board. Connect the resistance band to the first and topmost O-ring. Then slide the first O-Ring to the bottom of the plastic clip toward the band. Fold the strap down and clip into the second O-Ring. Repeat this process for the third O-Ring. To release the strapping follow the directions in reverse.
• Step 6: You can also attach the long loop strap around a stable object, such as a table leg or pole, using the same procedure.
• Step 7: For maximum longevity of your resistance bands take caution in overstretching the bands past 300%. All bands are 16” and can be stretched up to 48”. Overstretching, hand oils, lotions, UV light and heat will deteriorate the band life. Do not leave the bands outside in the heat and with sun exposure. Always check the resistance bands for cracks, tears, cuts, splits or any abnormal condition before using. Do not use a damaged band.
• Step 8: If you are doing overhead exercises take some tension out of the band and clip it into the first O-ring at the end of the strap. To increase tension use a heavier band or use several bands. If there is too much slack, use the second or third O-ring closer to the board. Again, if you need more tension, add a heavier band or several bands. Do not gain more tension by overstretching the band. You can also change your position on the board.
• Step 9: Place the Half-Balls under the board in any configuration. Place one in the center or under the left or right side. Place two in a straight line along the length of the board or along the width in the center or under the left or right side. Place two along the length in a diagonal line one toward the front and one toward the back of the board.
• Step 10: Depending on your Half-Ball configuration and how you stand on the board relative to the Half-Balls you have a wide variety of balance movements. Since the Half-Balls are not fixed it is possible for the board to lift up if you have a lot of weight at one end. To avoid the end of the board lifting up, counter balance the board with your other foot. Get into a wider stance, lunge position or push down with your toes or heels.
• Step 11: Step on the side of the board touching the ground first. Steady yourself then slowly step on the other side. This teaches you better body control and muscular coordination. Stepping up quickly may result in too much board movement for beginners.
• Step 12: Always use a spotter for new movements. Always spot beginners and supervise children.

Creator Kits

Create your own Si-Board using our rail kit. You may prefer to place the rail directly in the center of the board or closer to the nose or tail. Leave enough room at the end of the board to stand directly over the rail bolt. Placing the rail at the very edge of the board may result in the ball rolling to the outside of your foot causing you to fall.

• Step 1: Use safety equipment when using tools and supervise children. We are not responsible for damage to your board top. Use a board top in good condition and at least a 7 ply skate deck or 9 ply flat wood. Individuals above 200 pounds should consider an 11 or 13 ply wood. The bolt threading is 10-32 if you require longer bolts.
• Step 2: Connect the rail and place it over the template. Insure the rail and template have the same hole pattern. Cut out the template provided and tape it to your board platform. If you do not have a template you can put the rail together and place it on your platform and mark the holes.
• Step 3: Mark the hole placement on your board top using a pen, hammer and nail or drill directly through the template. The rail holes are marked by a black rectangle on the template. The rail is designed with a slot for the bolt and nut for hole variance. If you don’t drill exactly in the center- don’t worry about it!
• Step 4: Drill a 3/16” hole through the board top. You may want to put a piece of scrap wood under your board to avoid splintering the bottom. You can countersink the top hole slightly so the bolt is flush with the board top. 
• Step 5: Place the bolts in the board top and turn over.
• Step 6: Connect all rail pieces and place it over the bolts. The rail has some give if you need to bend the rail to fit over the bolts. Push the rail down against your board. It is best to place the entire rail on the board rather than in sections.
• Step 7: Place the nuts in the bottom of the rail recess and directly over the bolts. The nut slots are tight to provide tension and keep the nut in place. It may be easiest to turn the nut on its side (90 degrees and perpendicular) to the board and push it in.  Then you can turn it back 90 degrees and flat against the bolt. You can also slightly thread a secondary bolt through the bottom of the nut to capture it.  Then tap the nut in the slot and back the secondary bolt out.  You can also use a pair of narrow pliers to hold the nut.
• Step 8: If you are using a bent board and the rail does not make direct contact use a clamp to secure the rail and board. Then slightly tighten the bolt and nuts using a phillips head screwdriver.
• Step 9: Using a phillips head screwdriver, tighten all the bolts and nuts slightly- just enough to catch. If you completely tighten one bolt the rail may shift and make it difficult to tighten the rest of the bolts. Finish with tightening all bolts and nuts until the rail is secure.
• Step 10: Check to see if the bolt is sitting higher than the rail.  If this is the case you may need a shorter bolt or your countersink hole is too deep.
