Abstract
A recreational device with the shape of a dish or plate that can be manipulated to rotate and track over a bearing surface requiring considerable skill from the user. The dish device includes a platform that is rotatably mounted over a contact plate and a locking mechanism that allows the user to lock the rotation or allow, selectively, to rotate in one direction or the other. The platform in the preferred embodiment has substantially the same diameter as the plate member. In one of the alternate embodiments, however, the platform member has a smaller diameter and a static platform member is added to provide the user with an area that is rigidly mounted to the contact plate member.
