For anyone wondering, the weird thing Hubris is standing on/falling off is a Vew-Do balance board.
Need a toy to stand on in your home and hopefully work on your knees and balance as you stave off The Decrepitude?
Click on the photo and shop a balance board, for heaven’s sake.
Saw a balance board on the old “That Girl” show with Marlo Thomas back in the ’70s (yes, I’m that old, but to be fair I was a kid and it was probably a rerun.)
Love the comic! Showed it to my daughter and she read them all in less than a day too!
Do you remember those balls, well it was a ball in the middle of a disk and you would hold it with your feet and bounce up and down? It came out around the time Skip-it did…I think… pogo ball or something? Whatever happened to those? Kids got Nintendo DS didn’t they? 🙁
I remember those. There’s even a sturdier version now they have for football training.
My kids take circus arts training. They call those balance things rolo bolo. One of the kids in the troupe can do it stacked three high (about 20 inches).
