It's the most fun I've had indoors (ok, no wisecracks,. You know what I mean and let's just leave it at that). Fairly easy to stand on snowboard style, with feet 90 degrees to board. Much harder to use tele style, with feet in line with board, one in front and one in back. It's challenging and fun. Added challenge is getting it away from snowboarder daughter Laura (celebrating her 16th today, which you could care less about but as a proud poppa, I cannot resist mentioning). Other neat thing about it is seeing the expression on non-skiing wife Barb's face. She gave it to me--very generous and thoughtful; it really was a total surprise--but she had no idea it moves around so much. She's terrified of it. I mean watching. Using it is out of the question. She wants to send it back but Laura and I said no way. Anybody have any fun tricks, tips, things to try on a Vew-Doo? --telenaut
