G1 Slideboards?

[NickT55]

Has anyone used one of the G1 slidebaords in their pads and did you like it?

[wjmurray]

I have the G1 extreme and love it. I use it regularly with pads for practice and my son does as well. It is money well spent.

Are you able to skate on them, or no?

no, they give you little shoe type things that slide well on it though

My son had a G1 for a few years and loved it, we changed to a different board that we liked a bit better and sold that one. The new one isn't portable, and doesn't store well but he liked the moves he could use on it more. StrideSlide: think outside the rink! It helped his movement a lot.

damn almost $500 for the goalie one? thats insane.

They certainly are not cheap, but he did benefit greatly from them. He hasn't played as long as others and really needed to work on his movement on his own free time. I am not mechanically inclined to build one so I just buy them LOL.
