A flexible figure in the form of a human engaged in a particular athletic or
recreational
activity, such as snowboarding. The figure further comprises arm and leg sections
connected at realistic joints, and joined to the torso by couplings all of which
realistically simulate the flexibility limitations of the human body. A length
of elastic material functioning as an artificial muscle, which is connected between
the upper leg and the lower leg behind the knee joints, and an resilient covering
over the elbow joints, automatically return the figure to a preselected starting stance.
