Abstract
An apparatus designed to allow the user to simulate some of the basic skills, balance and movements of snowboarding. The apparatus has a modified snowboard with foot bindings attached and is mounted on an inclined platform, using a flexible rubber joint. The snowboard has rounded rocker blocks under each foot binding, extending from one side of the board to the other, which allow the user to simulate rocking from edge to edge on the snowboard as he/she pivots around the rubber joint attached just behind the front foot binding. The rounded rocker block under the front foot binding contains small wheels which along with the positioning of the rubber joint, allow the snowboard to pivot around this joint freely when the board is flat and the user's weight is concentrated on the front foot, thus simulating the movements required in a basic turn on a real snowboard.

DESCRIPTION
This invention relates to a simulator and more specifically to one for learning and practicing some of the skills, balance and movements required for riding a snow-board.
It is common that learning to snowboard begins with buckling a snowboard to one's feet at the top of a hill then standing up and attempting to turn while sliding down-hill. The use of an actual snowboard on a snow-covered hill for learning often results in bruises and can even result in a wide variety of more serious bodily injuries. Injury and the threat of injury prevents many people from ever learning or even attempting to learn how to snowboard.
There is, therefore, a need for a device which enables beginner snowboarders a means of learning the basic skills, balance and movements of snowboarding in a safe, non-threatening environment by removing the danger of injury from falling while slid-ing down a snow-covered slope on a conventional snowboard. The applicant's snow-boarding simulator is such a device.
There are several existing U.S. Patents and C~n~ n Patent Applications for snowboard simulators. The United States Patents include: US Patent No. 5,192,258; US
Patent No. 5,545,115; US Patent No. 5,496,239; US Patent No. 5,152,691; and US
Patent No. 4,966,364. There are two C~n~ n Patent Applications on file: Application No. 2069197 and Application No. 2011310. These two C~n~rlian Patent Applicationsare identical with US Patent No. 5,152,691 and No. 4,966,364 respectively, mentioned above.
None of these existing devices helps the beginner to understand the basics of snowboarding accurately by simulating how a real snowboard being used on a snow covered slope really works with respect to weight distribution and placement of the pivot point.
All the other snowboard simulators are merely devices for practicing general bal-ancing skills which are not specifically related to the requirements of simulating the behavior of a real snowboard. These other snowboard simulators have no fixed fall-line, do not have a pivot point or do not have the correct pivot point, no railing and do not simulate the timing and coordination of edging and pivoting.
CA 02209030 1997-07-1~
The behavior of the applicants' snowboarding simulator is designed around the Teaching Progression established by the C~n~ n Association of Snowboard Instructors (CASI). The CASI Teaching Progression distinguishes between five different skills.
These skills form a five level pyramid. This pyramid structure illustrates the CASI
teaching philosophy that one can not properly develop a skill without first developing the ones at the lower levels of the pyramid. The base of the CASI pyramid consists of "Stance and Balance". The next levels, in ascending order, consist of "Pivot", "Edging", "Pressure" and the combination of "Timing and Coordination" at the top level.
The single biggest hurdle for most beginner snowboarders is to overcome the fear/reluctance to place most of his/her weight on the front foot. The shifting of one's weight to the front foot is what causes a snowboard to turn downhill and is necessary for the proper execution of a turn. This weight transfer in addition to the rotation of the upper body are the key elements in performing a properly balanced turn on a snow-board. The applicant's device simulates how a real snowboard responds to this weight transfer and edge control and helps to encourage the correct movements of the upper body by means of the guidance provided by the semi-circular hand railing.
The applicants' snowboarding simulator has the added advantage of simulating the positioning and weight distribution needed to maintain a stationary position on a real snowboard on a real slope.
The applicants' device achieves a more correct simulation of the behavior of a real snowboard in several ways. It uses a platform on an incline in the same way in which a real snow-covered slope on which snowboarding takes place, is stationary and inclined. It uses a modified snowboard mounted on this stationary platform by means of a flexible rubber joint. The flexible rubber joint is fastened under and slightly behind the front foot. The positioning of this flexible joint causes the surface of the rear rocker block that is in contact with the platform, to unweight when the user's weight is trans-ferred to the front foot. This unweighting allows the user to easily rotate the board through a simulated turn in which it pivots around the flexible rubber joint.
The flexible rubber joint in combination with the rocker blocks, also fastened to the underside of the modified snowboard, simulate the movement from edge to edgenecessary in turning and carving a real snowboard.
The ability to interchange the standard rear rocker block with one containing unidirectional wheels simulates the impossibility of initi~ting a turn on a real snowboard while the "uphill" edge of the snowboard is in contact with the snow. In other words, it simulates the necessity of flattening the snowboard, so its base is flat against the surface of the hill, to initiate a turn on a real snowboard.
CA 02209030 1997-07-1~
The device is designed to use any commercially available bindings used on real snowboards. This fact allows a user to test various bindings and snowboarding boots and combinations thereof without need of a snow-covered slope. In addition to provid-ing a realistic environment to test bindings and boots, this simulator provides the user a means of learning the basic skills and balance of snowboarding using the most realistic means of foot mounting.
The device has circular hand railings encompassing approximately 240 ~ of the inclined platform. These railings not only provide the user with a safe means of balanc-ing but serve to promote the type of smooth upper body rotation needed to properly exe-cute a turn on a real snowboard by acting as a guide.
To use the invention the user may assemble the device in an open area on a levelsurface. The user, wearing snowboarding boots, slips each foot into the foot bindings and fastens them. Then, standing up with the help of the hand railing, the user simulates the weight transfer, pivoting around the front foot and moving from edge to edge experi-enced on a real snowboard sliding down a snow-covered slope.
Further objects and features of this invention will become more apparent by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying figures, in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the novel apparatus showing the turning radius potential, pivoting off point A;

The applicants' novel snowboarding simulator will be described by referring to Figures 1 to 7 of the drawings. The snowboarding simulator is generally designated numeral 10.
The basic components of the snowboarding simulator 10 are the modified snow-board 12, the inclined platform 14 and the semi-circular hand railing 16.
The modified snowboard 12 has a front foot binding 18 and a rear foot binding 20, a flexible rubber joint 22 attaching the modified snowboard 12 to the inclined plat-form 14, a front rocker block 48 and a rear rocker block 50, both of which are mounted directly beneath the front and rear foot bindings respectively.
The front rocker block 48 contains two wheels 52 and 54 set on axles 60 and 62 recessed into a slot cut into the bottom of the front rocker block. These wheels 52 and 54 reduce the friction between the inclined platform 14 and the front rocker block 48 when most of the user~s weight is being exerted on the front foot and the modified snowboard is level with the surface of the inclined platform 14.
The rear rocker block 50 contains two wheels 56 and 58 set on axles 64 and 66 rotating on self-locking, uni-directional bearings 68 and 70 recessed into side of rear rocker block 50.
CA 02209030 1997-07-1~
The semi-circular hand railing 16 with fastening gate 46 has six legs 21, 24, 26, 28, 30 and 32 with threaded nuts 72 fastened inside the bottom of each leg. The legs 21, 24, 26, 28, 30 and 32 insert into holes 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 cut into the inclined platform. Each leg inserts into a hole in the platform and through a sleeve 74 fastened to the underside of the platform. The height of the railing 16 can be adjusted by means of a number of holes 76 in the railing legs 21, 24, 26, 28, 30, and 32 that match up with holes cut into the sleeves 74 and removable rods 78. The length of the individual legs 21, 24, 26, 28, 30, and 32 can be adjusted by means of bolt 80 and recessed nuts 72.
While I have described our invention in connection with specific embodiments thereof, it is clearly to be understood that this is done only by way of example and not as a limitation to the scope of our invention as set forth in the objects thereof and in the appended claims.
