Performance Benefits
Core Activation: Maintaining balance on the roller forces constant engagement of the abdominals, obliques, and lower back.
Proprioception Development: Improves the body's ability to sense its position in space, which translates directly to better performance in sports like skating, surfing, and gymnastics.
Scalable Challenge: The adjustable stops make it accessible for children and beginners while providing enough dynamic movement to challenge elite athletes.
Joint Stability: Strengthens the small stabilizer muscles in the ankles and knees, which can help prevent common athletic injuries.
Maintenance and Care
Surface Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the DuraSoft top. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution can be used, but avoid saturating the board to protect the internal core.
Roller Care: Keep the roller free of dust and debris to ensure a smooth, consistent glide. Periodically wipe the roller with a dry cloth.
Stop System: Ensure the Magswitch stops are clear of lint or metal shavings to maintain their magnetic hold.
Storage: Store the board and roller in a dry environment. While durable, prolonged exposure to high humidity or standing water can damage the finish and structural integrity.
Warranty Information
Limited Warranty: Revbalance products are generally covered by a standard 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Coverage: This warranty applies to the original purchaser and covers the board and roller under normal, intended training use.
Exclusions: Does not cover damage resulting from misuse, environmental damage, or normal cosmetic wear and tear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 101 Mini only for kids? A: No. While its smaller size is great for children, it has a 350 lb weight capacity and is frequently used by adults as a space-saving alternative for office use or travel.
Q: Can I use this on a hard floor? A: Yes, but for the best experience and to protect both the floor and the roller, it is recommended to use the board on a thin exercise mat or a low-pile carpet.
Q: How do the Magswitch stops work? A: They are magnetic blocks that attach to the underside of the board. You can slide them to any position to limit how far the board can roll in either direction, providing a "safety net" for new users.
Q: Does it come with a training guide? A: Yes, the 101 Mini typically includes access to a digital training guide to help you master the basics and progress to advanced movements.
