Merge with rola bola?

I don't think the balance board should be confused with the rola bola. The balance board is destined to a medical use. The rola bola seems to be used in leisure, sports, entertainment.

Further, I would like to point out that the word for balance board in French is "plateau de Freeman". It would be interesting to find out who this "Freeman" is, it seems more an anglo-saxon name than a French one.

I agree. The merge template's been up for 4 months, no comments in support of merging, I'll remove the template. --Darkwind (talk) 22:54, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think this balance board and a rola bola are exactly the same things: the two articles should be merged. I never heard of “plateau de Freeman” but I know we sometimes says “rouleau américain” for rola bola in French. A2 (talk) 01:49, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unencyclopedic

Wikipedia is NOT a manual, guidebook, or textbook, this article reads like a how-to in many sections. Cavenba (talk • contribs) 02:03, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, this page is absurd. It's way too long, has far too many pictures, and is more like a guide to living life based on balance boards. 209.6.221.159 (talk) 05:16, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rola Bola again

Rola-bola = balance board. they are exactly the same thing, which you do the same thing on, the only difference is the philosphy one takes. Merge it with rola bola. Hell i'll do it if noone else will.

If anything, rola bola should be merged into balance board, because a rola bola is one type of balance board. 209.6.221.159 (talk) 05:16, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the rola bola should be merged into balance board, because a rola bola is one type of balance board.--Mick The Surfer (talk) 07:50, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Original research

I marked the article with Original Research. I see no citations (at least none regarding the actual topic of the article), and the article looks like one long "how to" page anyway. --67.97.118.4 (talk) 16:36, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ridiculous

This article is ridiculous it sounds like a guide and just sounds unprofessional in general. Ill be attempting to clean out pictures and clean up the text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.254.35 (talk) 21:26, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
