It was three years ago When in the middle of winter I had the urge to ride my bike so bad!
I Have been Designing and building proto type bike frames for a couple years now, and I though to myself I need to ride NOW!
When watching some skiing on TV I saw some guy doing tricks on these little skis? I ordered a set built some Stands Drilled some Cold Rolled steel put it all together, whent to my local ski resort went to the top of the hill and went for it!
At the bottom (after I almost pissed my pants from going so fast.) I was hooked.
Check it out, I will be going to the ski resort in a few weeks and I will take photos.....
Enjoy....

My 10 yrs old son, My wife says he can have his own this year!

That rules!

Any footage of it in action on the BIG hill?

Two weeks and the resorts will be open and yes there will be!

Your resorts aren't open yet?


Doug

No this is the first snow of the year! Only two inches.
Not enough as of yet..

Cool!

$$$2.00$$$2.00$$ WHARES MY $2.00AAAAHHHHH...
Remember that movie.....Kiler Scoot......love to try one......

Sweet! My friend had a pos Haro Blammo that he turned into a ski-bike, then some douchebag stole it.

That is so cool

even though i hate cold weather and snow, that looks like so much fun. i might have to try it this year if we go anywhere with snow.

Anyone Comes to northern michigan Drop me a line and we will go riding!!
This is a blast and very fast!

I have an old Haro Group One with a couple of slabs of 4x4 in the drops with cut down skis I trash picked. This will be my third winter on it. I am looking for new skis to make a 16" for my son!

It'll probably make the olympics before BMX Freestyle does.

my first set of ski came from the GOODWILL for 3.00....

then I got on ebay and bought ski boards for 90.00

Nice, looks all out fun!Have you tryed bunny hopping?

HOLY CRAP SENSEI!!!!!!!! That looks like it could be one hairy ride, one speed, wide open. Props to you for having the stones to try it.

looks like fun!
good to see some familiar names over here!.. i guess over here im still a noob!

I love the idea because you don't clip in and out like skis and boards. This could be the next big thing. Flat pedals might help, too. Make sure to send pics!

back in the 80s i was in taos new mexico and a guy had a powerlite that had a ski for the front wheel and the rest of it was still a rideable bike he let me ride it you crank at the top of the hill then carve your way down it was a blast I can only imagine what the bike with both skis would be like have fun

For anyone who is interested Durango Mountain Resort is going to host the International Ski Bike Festival on February 22-24. Events are: timed Giant Slalom gate runs, Best Trick/Air, and a 4 man MTN cross so wax em up. Check out their website (www.durangomountainresort.com) for more details. The MTN cross could be big this year, we got 8 feet of snow the first week of December and one storm a week since then so there is plenty of jump material

That IS rad.

I was thinking about doing that mod about ten years ago...and still might.

Only:
I'd have a crankset and BB and pedals on it, no sprocket & chain naturally. I think you'd have TONS more comfort and control that way.
