Looks FUN!

I wonder if there is a light weight XC version...???

 

[llkoolkeg]

Nah...that's just for the hardtail class. I want suspension on mine!

 

[DHS]

cycle?
huh?

 

[McGRP01]

HT angle is too steep for me.

 

[N8 v2.0]

It's a fixed-fixed gear too...

you mean, like this:

you mean, like this:

BAAAAAHHHH! That's SICK! I'm really surprised the ski area let you take that up. If I tried something like that at my ski area (Steamboat), they'd have kittens!

We did that at Sol Vista a few years ago. Although they were "old skool" ski bikes where the seat was basically mounted on a leaf spring to provide "suspension".......

One of our buddies broke the spring riding through a drainage ditch.

I felt like I was 6 years old again. We had a hoot.

That being said, I haven't done it since. Skiing is more entertaining.

Well, credit where credit is due: that's not anyone I know. Those pics are on the site of the company that makes the conversion kit, winterxbike.


I haven't found any ski areas in NE or NM that seem like they'd open to it, either. maybe there's info on their site...

one of the local ski places here has something like those for rent.

this year, however, we have NO SNOW in the mountains. none.

That's Right!! Can't have any of those darn fool freerider types on that mountain.

 

[allsk8sno]

silver mt in idaho has something like those made by diamondback i think
look kinda fun but not worth the money..

 

[N8 v2.0]

There's even an association of Ski Biking: http://www.ski-bike.org/xtreme.html

And a listing of ski resorts where you can ride: http://www.ski-bike.org/ski_areas.html

 

[DRB]

Does that come in rootbeer?

 

[downhillzeypher]

I was really intrested in this last year, but ditched the idea cause there aren't any socal resorts that would allow it... Looks hard as hell though.

 

[IronJim]

you mean, like this:

were do they put there feet??

 

[erastusboy]

i call bs on the pics, they dont look real

 

[Sandwich]

there's a video on the website, and the BB has footpegs attached to it...it's real.

 

[Kntr]

Yes, they are real. The local ski area rents them and most of the bike shops can order the kit to change your current bike. I plan on building one this summer for next year. my buddy has an old GT Idrive he is ging to sell me.

 

[IronJim]

ya i can see the pegs now that i look harder. and they are real www.winterxbike.com

 

[Bldr_DH]

No, no, no, you got it all wrong -- it's all about the Crighton snowmoto... yes, a hardtail, but that won't be like that forever.

Been riding since last year -- kicks all kinds of @$$

 

[erastusboy]
