outlaw Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Yip, works pretty good in most snow conditions, can change the angle of the V to suit different snow or adjust the side grip. I made a similar one in antarctica 2009- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Does it still scrub speed when you turn?? Peter made his "MECS" (Multi Element Curved Ski) system that doesn't shed any speed, but I haven't seen if he developed it any further than just the patent. http://www.peterlynnkites.com/vehicles/buggies/kitesled.htm There was a couple of Aussie guys here in NSW who have taken the idea and progressed it further in the form of a long distance touring sled. Not sure if the boys are still playing with it, or gave up after a few practice trips in the upper sections of Canada. And is that suspension on the rear?

ssayre Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 That looks pretty damn cool! I see two ski's on each point of contact? I assume that's to prevent side slip. I'm really wanting to try a conversion this winter. I was thinking about the V pointing down instead of up like shown or using snowboards with a blade attached to hold a line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
