"It enhances balance and coordination, core strength, transferable to any board sports." "I wanted to try and create something that allowed people in the cities to try a new boardsport in a safe and fun environment," adds Dent. The brushboarding ramp can be installed in shopping malls, business centers, sports clubs, theme parks, beaches, and parks.

The concept is modular and easy to install anywhere, and the ramp sizes can be extended in width to provide a larger riding area. "We've tested it with many people of different ages and abilities and even incorporated blind children and a paraplegic person riding in a kayak." "Brushboarding appeals to a very wide demographic," notes Kyle Dent, founder of Extreme Sports Zone and developer of Brushboarding. When they're ready to ride, the brushes start rotating at high speed, and the sportsperson jumps on it.

The finless boards used vary in shape and size, and you can even put a kayak on the brush ramp.

Riders are invited to wear helmets, knee and elbow pads, and gloves. With brushboarding, the goal is not to replicate these sports' feel and experience but to complement them. The sport blends and simulates aspects of surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding and can be practiced indoors and outdoors. Nevertheless, instead of water, it features a cushioned brush system similar to street sweepers. The concept probably reminds you of flowboarding/flowriding surfing machines. If chess, bridge, and cheerleading are governed by sports federations and officially sanctioned by IOC, anything is possible.īrushboarding is a multi-board sports fitness and training machine that allows riders to glide across a wave-shaped bed of rotating brushes. You could call it a sport, even though it has not yet been recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Can you imagine riding a static wave that, when you fall, you never get wet? Here's everything you need to know about brushboarding.
