Revolution Core 32 Advanced Balance Board

I used the Basic Revolution Balance board at my gym. Even at my age (45) I got good enough that people would ask me advice on how to use it and get better... so not bad if I do say so myself. Enjoyed it so much I went for the Advanced Board for my home. Well it is definitely Advanced.I am glad that I went for the Advanced Board, but there are some things to consider. The Basic model doesn't really move forward and back (just side to side) unless you work to do so. Mr Advanced does, a lot. Also the surface area touching the roller is much smaller allowing for much more precise control, the trade off being - much quicker to "out of control".I can stand on the Basic board doing Taiji (Tai Chi - yes really =), and never come off and find a very meditative state of relaxation in balance. I can not do that on the Advanced Board "yet". I will get there, but it is much more of a challenge.If the Basic Board is a 6 in difficulty then Mr Advanced is something like an 18. All I am saying is that it is a BIG step up.Great product. I am certainly a fan, but if you bought Mr A before you were ready it may bum you out and end up sitting in the corner rather than teach you the joy and mental acuity that comes from practicing balance related arts.I hope this helps with your choices.

I bought this for my wife and I to work core when surfing isn’t an option but my 6 and 9 year old boys have commandeered it. It’s much trickier than the 101 version of the board but even if you surf and or wakeboard as opposed to skateboard, you’ll still pick it up quick. It rolls really fast but I was easily able to immediately hop on a skateboard and repeat the shuv it I’d practiced in the tutorials. I found it best to perfect the tricks on a rug in the garage before upping the ante and adding the roller. As the directions say, you really do have to have the balance down solid before attempting any tricks. Overall, we’re completely satisfied and will likely order more so we aren’t waiting in line.

This board is awesome. I have used different types of balance boards in the past and I have to say that this is my favorite so far.Pro's: you can do many tricks and land back in a balance such as ollies, kickflips, 360 flips, etc. Gives you the balance feel of snowboarding or skateboarding.Cons: within the first couple times using it, the graphins started to come off on all the edges. I have only had it for a week and it already looks really worn. The black balance tube also loses its material frequently. If you have it on carpet, the carpet will be covered with black material.

The boards WILL break. Nothing. Special about them.Other problems:- felt covered roller is poorly designed and wears down very quickly- grip tape on underside of board eventually peels back and renders the board unusable.

A RevOlution in Balance(DGIwire) – What can you buy a kid who lives and breathes skateboarding? Certainly a skateboard, trucks, wheels, bearings, grip tape, t-shirts, protective gear and a helmet are all good ideas. Then, of course, there are sneakers, which are a complete necessity about every three weeks thanks to the effects of grip tape and sidewalks! But what if the kid is turning 13, already has a board sponsor, a pro skateboarder has given him trucks, a few companies are all offering him t-shirts because he’s got online videos tre flipping an 8 stair?! Like I said, what is a fun present, besides a summer at Camp Woodward, for an athlete that thinks skateboarding is as important as breathing?ReviewLoft decided to research this question. Where did we start? The internet, of course! After seeing all the usual options—which don’t get me wrong—would have all been very graciously received, we stumbled upon a site called RevBalance.com which was offering balance boards.According to the RevOlution website, balance boarding has been around since at least the 1950s. Likely, we’d guess it coincided with the advent of Cali surfing which soon spawned skateboarding when the drought of the 70s dried up all those pools leaving the ultimate vert drops for adventurous teens to explore. Over the years many different kinds of boards have been introduced, likely also to coincide with the moves from pools to streets. Traditionally balance boards have been a tool for sports trainers to help athletes in all sports to develop their balance and fitness needs. The RevOlution videos were cool. They demonstrated remarkable feats of balance on their finely crafted boards, but also kick-flips and more. Frankly, all of us at ReviewLoft who don’t skateboard but appreciate fitness and skill all wanted to try it!The balance board package arrived in perfect condition, and we were impressed when the same day we also received an email from Brendon, the owner of RevOlution, asking if our board arrived safely. We responded that it was perfect—but we’d have to wait a few days for the birthday recipient to open the gift.Last night, the board came out of the box. Three teen boys looked at it skeptically. But then, they got on it: The fun, stumbles, tricks, balancing challenges, shoves, kick-flips and SKATE games started! The RevOlution Balance Board was a major hit!Best of all, balance boarding can be done just about anywhere, any time, especially indoors which is totally awesome—particularly if you live in the northeast where you have snowy winter days or anywhere when it rains, which is not good for skateboard trucks...or skaters lives!Without a doubt, this is an excellent present for the skateboarder in your life—or for yourself or any athlete that wants to develop their balance skills. All of us at ReviewLoft will certainly be popping on it: We want a set of those 6-pack abs that look so fine on skateboarders of all ages!Note: ReviewLoft purchased our RevOlution Balance Board via Amazon and we love it. So, we felt compelled to write a review!

Excellent for board skills and core strength.

Very well-made and good quality. I also have a Vew-Do balance board. While Vew-Do's rail and groove system works better for kickturns, the Revolution boards are far better for ollies and kick flips. I'd recommend this board.

It looks good and seems to be of high quality. I'm still new to balance boards but wanted to try one I can practice skateboard tricks and this seems like the only option so far.

Really challenging balance board. High quality product.

Quality product, stable base and a deft feel to it.
