0:00.0	This episode is brought to you by Grasshopper Climbing. I have tried all of the training boards on the market.
0:08.6	I love them all. The moonboard, tension board, kilter board. They're all great. They're all so much fun.
0:13.2	But the Grasshopper board is my personal favorite. I really do think it is the best training board out there.
0:19.6	And I cannot wait to buy a house or
0:22.1	property someday just so I can own one of these things so I can train on it every day. Why is that?
0:27.7	Why is this thing my favorite of all the training boards? Well, first things first, they got the
0:32.0	basics right. You can actually warm up on this board, which is super critical if you're thinking
0:36.7	about putting a board in your
0:37.8	garage and that's the only thing you have to train on. The LED lights are in the right spot and are
0:42.5	easy to see when you're climbing, and the wall angle is easy to adjust. Just those three things
0:48.4	already set the grasshopper board apart. But more than that, I absolutely love their holds. As soon as I climbed on the board,
0:56.0	I could tell the folks at Grasshopper put a ton of thought into the hold shapes and the layout
1:01.9	of the board. The holds are also mirrored, which I love. It's really cool to try a hard
1:07.8	boulder problem, climb on it one way, and then flip it around in the app and
1:11.3	see if it feels different to climb it the other way around. That's a great diagnostic tool,
1:16.1	and I love that if I find a cool boulder problem to try, I immediately have two boulder problems
1:20.4	to work on that are equally good for training. As always, though, don't take my word for it,
1:26.0	because the folks at grasshopper climbing just want you to try out their board for yourself.
1:31.3	Be sure to check them out on Instagram at Grasshopper Climbing if you want to see the board in action.
1:36.2	And you can visit their website at Grasshopperclimbing.com to learn more and contact their sales team to find out which board solution is right for you.
1:43.7	And if you're ready to pull the trigger, the folks at Grasshopper are offering you guys,
1:47.9	listeners to this podcast, $500 off when you order a fully kidded out 8 by 10 foot grasshopper board,
