Its resilient cushion member allows the stationary device to simulate the tipping, sloping and standing angles requiring acute balance when participating in snowboarding. A leading foot mounting unit and a trailing foot mounting unit are detachably mounted on the top surface of the snowboard-like frame. There is also structure between the bottom surface of the snowboard-like frame and the top surface of the cushion member that allows the snowboard-like frame to rotate through a range of 360 degrees.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 1.
A snowboard simulator comprising an elongated board having a longitudinal axis, a front end, a rear end, a top surface and a bottom surface; a resilient cushion disposed beneath the board proximate the middle of the board, the cushion having an upper surface; an anuular channel on the upper surface of the cushion; bearings located in the annular channel; a bearing receiving frame mounted on the bottom surface of the elongated board to surround the annular channel and ride on the bearings to allow 360.
degree.
rotation of the frame relative to the cushion; a leading foot mounting unit and a trailing foot mounting unit on the top of the board, each mounting unit having a toe and heel; pivotal means for removably mounting the foot mounting units to the board; and means to locate the foot mounting units on the board at a first position with the toe of each foot mounting unit on one side of the board longitudinal axis or a second position with the toe of each foot mounting unit on the second side of the longitudinal axis of the board.
2.
A snowboard-like simulator as recited in claim 1 further comprising cushioning means mounted on the bottom surface of said elongated board at its front end and at its rear end.
3.
A snowboard-like simulator as recited in claim 1 wherein said elongated board has a main body portion having a planar top and bottom surface, and a front tip porttion that is curved upwardly from said body portion.
4.
A simulator as claimed in claim 1 in which the pivotal means comprises a post attached to the foot mounting unit; an opening in the board to receive each post; and fastening means attached to each post on the bottom surface of the board.
5.
A simulator as claimed in claim 4 having a spring suroounding the post and between the bottom surface of the board and the fastening means, the spring urging the post, and thus the foot mounting unit, upwardly
