The Product - 'SYCO BOB'
Product Description
The product is actually a hybrid of several board sports and the conventional swing. The result is a product which is not confined solely to board sport enthusiasts, but can be used by anyone who wants to defy gravity. The beginner does not need any previous sports experience to ride Syco Bob. The product can be used by young and old, male and female, and even persons with disabilities like amputations and the blind. The greatest feature of the product is that it is fun to use; in fact it is so much fun that it actually becomes addictive. And regardless of the fitness benefits one would use it for the enjoyment factor. Syco Bob defies gravity similar to trampolines except with far less impact or danger.
Bob is totally driven and controlled by the rider's muscles and in doing so the operator gets an all over body workout. The intensity of the cardiovascular workout depends on how hard the rider goes. There are no motors or electronics involved. The operation is simple, smooth, controlled, safe, fun, and addictive. Once you see someone using it you want to have a go, and soon as you get off you want to go again. It is the feeling a surfer gets at the end of a good wave, or a snowboarder at the end of a clean run. The sensation experienced is similar to that felt by the participants of extreme board sports, but unlike those sports the ride is safer. This exhilaration is very addictive to all that have experienced Syco Bob.
Some of the maneuvers that can be performed include cutbacks, bottom turns, top turns, 360's, inside outs, rail grabs, stalls, aerials, reo's, re-entry, grinds, and floaters. The list is limited only by ones imagination. New moves will be developed that have never been possible before.
The product can be used in any weather in any season in any location. With Syco Bob you don't have to worry about: tides, winds, swell, wetsuits, rips, sharks, stingers, winter, snow, dry conditions, lift passes, lift lines, frost bite, skate bowl, crashing, broken bones, the list goes on and on. You can ride it with your ipod on to listen to your favorite music while you have an exciting workout.
Product Background
While working on an idea for a safe surf board training device, the inventors came up with a prototype they code named “Syco Bob”. It soon became evident to the inventors that they had made a major breakthrough in fun fitness equipment. The prototype has the unique ability to straddle three of the fastest growing markets in the world today – fitness, sport and entertainment. Syco Bob is the way of the future. By definition Syco Bob is a sport in its own right, and as it can be operated in a controlled environment. The implications for these three industries are enormous.
The response from test trials has been extremely positive. Syco Bob has put a smile on the face of everyone who has ridden it. An independent fitness equipment advisor who appraised the product was greatly impressed “I believe the device is of cutting edge design currently unavailable in the exercise/conditioning equipment marketplace.”
The concept and design of Bob appears simple but its development to a fully functional easy to use, reliable and robust piece of equipment was complex. The production model has been designed to be easily adjusted to accommodate different users – from children to large adults.
Free Standing Frame
Syco Industries is currently in the testing phase of a unique free standing full portable exterior frame. Preliminary results are positive and we are extremely optimistic that we have achieved our goal.
The whole frame fits inside a cardboard carton which makes it easy to handle. The frame can easily be erected by two people without the need of tools or a ladder. The only tool required is a small spanner which is supplied with the kit. The frame does not require any permanent fixtures and can be easily moved around by one person if desired. Once the frame is erected Syco Bob can be used straight away. This means that you can put the frame together and be experiencing this surf, snow skate board simulator in a very short period of time.
Experience this exciting, addictive, safe sport in your own backyard any time in any weather and in any season.
