Then we'll all grab one of these...

looked pretty sweet so I couldn't help but posting. They have some pictures and a video on their site.

 

[Eren]

im buying one!

 

[ktown.freeride]

looks super sick, i assume they are a bit pricey though.

 

[Heidi]

Yah, I'd be totally down for one if someone else bought one

 

[bent^biker]

yeah, i think they're advertising at just over 1k a piece but that ought to come down as they come of age. It'd be so sick to have a mob of people on those.

 

[Garrett 0 P]

haha i can see some sick ass **** thrown down on that

 

[MinorThreat]

I'd much rather have one of these setups:

[dirtmover]

That is sweet. Wonder if they will sell just the attachments

 

[MinorThreat]

^^Yes they do. Then you bolt on a set of child's shape skis. Mt. Spokane Ski Swap is coming up - - might have to go.

 

[bent^biker]

ya, those are pretty sick, might have to get a set for the hardtail

 

[Borneo]

hmmm, I guess I'm the only one here who thinks this is pretty gay. Several versions of "Ski-bikes" have been popping up for several years now. The Pass even rented them for a while. but, they gave up on that. I'm surprised people keep trying to make a buck at it.
That they are that expensive is even crazier.

[bent^biker]

[bent^biker]

[Eren]

^^ yea from me, cept there not great theres just a lot to ride for all skill levels

 

[Liquid10]

That North Legion bike looks sick . According to the NSMB article they did everything they could to make it feel like a mountain bike. I will have to verify this in the winter:biggrin:

 

[bent^biker]

they certainly made paying for it feel like a mountain bike....cool all the same

 

[deweydude]

Don't just talk about it guys ! you've got to try this I've been ski-biking for years and it rocks. We do lots of sic back country steep and deep on both Mt. Hood and St. Helens and Resort stuff at Hoodoo with groomed runs and terrain park :biggrin:

It rocks




I run an azonic love seat on it in the winter and its getting a new set of 99cm snowblades this year...I can't wait for snow

 

[bent^biker]

where did you pick up those pegs? the ones that come with the winterx don't look so big

 

[Toshi]

why would one ski-bike instead of just skiing?

Those are actually just Red Line stunt pegs the kind the bmx guys put on their axles, they are just bolted together through the bb hole and I add the braces back to the chainstays when I can. (hardtail or that urt on the warp) it gives a very large stable platform for your feet.

You'd have to try this to understand. It is unbeleivable I have turned several hardcore boarders and ski'ers on to this that now prefer the ski bike.. and it is much easier on you body

sounds like that would eff up your bb. what do you use to keep the bolt from going all over the place?

 

[Fast&Smooth]

yeah snow biking is pretty dang fun. it's like nothing else. if anyone wants to like meet up this seasn and try mine or somthing, by all means. i think it would be great to have more people on the slopes.

about stevens not having 'em, i wouldn't sweat it. most of the runs there are probably too steep for snow bikes i would imagine. but like it's been said, you have to try it to see what i mean.

The pegs are tapered enough on the ends that they cant move around, if you need more of a bevel take them to a bench grinder before bolting them on. And haven't tried putting a bb back in , I biuld my bikes out of old retired parts that will never see wheels again so I don't have to tear my wheeled bikes apart to go ski-biking. That warp frame is an awesome ski bike and it sucked on wheels its on snow for life:biggrin:

(edit) I have had the pegs back off both of my bikes and the frames and threads looked fine. I think I could put a BB back in , with no problems.

Perfect! Thanks for the picts Deweydude. Now I know how I'm going to fabricate my ski carriages. And thanks too for the tip in the pegs. I have an old URT frame begging for this treatment. Hope my friend was able to find some kids' skis at the ski swap this weekend.

Yeah, just don't believe the Silver Mountain (ID) info. I called Stephen Lane about it last year and he said they do not allow them (dang!)
