Whereas, Ultraslide is the grandaddy of slide boards - sustainably made in the USA for over 35 years. You can buy Brrrn Boards on Amazon Prime (5-star rating!) or from Brrrn website. The solid, high-quality material makes them very durable and a pleasure to slide on.īrrrn started off a few years ago as a cold temperature slide board gym in NYC and now sells their Brrrn Boards direct to the consumer. The two best slide board brands by far are Brrrn and Ultraslide, and good news I believe these are made by or at least designed by the same team of people. If you're going to invest in a slide board you probably want one that has a solid sliding surface as opposed to the flimsy cheapo ones that a lot of places have for sale. Once you're moving, balance is no problem. Just be a little careful as you step on or off the board. If you're worried that you'll slip and fall, don't be. That's why I love toggling back and forth between the two. You work out different lower body muscles than a trampoline but the slide board can be just as intense. There's a lot more advanced stuff you can do as you gain confidence.

This helps make the surface extra slick, and basically you just slide back and forth. To slide on a slide board you wear special booties over your sneakers. I don't know why they stopped using the slide boards. Both songs were new and pretty common back then so for a short while Phish did this quite often. Trey and Mike would slide on them while performing the songs It's Ice or Glide. Phish briefly used these as stage props around 1993. My other favorite home gym cardio choice is a slide board, which you may or may not have heard of. I don't think you need a handle to hold onto.

If you're worried that you'll get going too fast and accidentally jump off I haven't found that to be the case. Rebounding is now a regular part of my home gym workout routine. Eventually I got a 44" fully-customized bellicon and I'm glad that I did! It has folding legs so storage is a breeze, and the jumping experience is unparalleled. There's even a rebounder-focused gym in NYC called The Ness that uses JumpSport rebounders. I started last year with a 39" JumpSport rebounder and these are awesome trampolines. I don't know what brand of rebounders Phish uses on stage, but I've tried both JumpSport and bellicon and can recommend both.

Long-time fans may recall that Phish would also jump on the mini trampolines during Mike's Song.Īnyway, these little trampolines are called rebounders and they are great exercise! You definitely break a sweat and get your heart rate up. They did this as recently as last Sunday, Augin front of a crowd of 30,000+ (COVID.what COVID?) on the beach in Atlantic City. If you've ever seen Phish perform You Enjoy Myself then you've likely noticed that there's a section where guitarist Trey Anastasio and bassist Mike Gordon do a choreographed bounce routine on little trampolines.
