To say that gamers haven’t really been blown away by the new Tony Hawk Ride game and its skateboard controller is an understatement. And while the Wii Fit balance board can be used with snowboarding, skiing and skateboarding games, it also lacks a certain something, which I think the FriiBoard remedies.
It’s nothing more than a curved plastic base that attaches to the underside of the balance board allowing it to rock slightly in all directions. Not enough to make balancing difficult, but more than enough to make most balance board compatible games more entertaining and slightly more realistic. I would almost call it a must-have add-on if you already have Wii Fit at home, but the $45 price tag is a bit steep for a piece of plastic. (Available soon!)

This would be better if if came with the balance board for that price. You could just glue some tennis balls to the bottom of the balance board and get the same effect.
Note to self: Do not buy this because you don't have a Wii.
That's a pretty big price tag for an accessory. I mean yea it's a very nice add on, since the snowboarding game is pretty hard with a regular one. Some how I see myself hurting myself more with this add on. I'll be leaning back and woosh it flies out from under me…
