Is this possible??????maybe, maybe not.

a giant round ski that you have both your feet in and its raised up like a cone sort of. like this \____/

but all the way around like that so its basicly like a giant circle sled with a base and edges and bindings and you sit in it instead of standing in it.

the idea to me sounds pretty fun because you could go more than just two directions, technically you could 360 directions.

think about it, you could ride them straight, switch, snowboarders regular, snowboarders goofy, crooked, etc....

it seems like it could be really fun if it was made correctly

i have no idea what you are talking about, but if you could draw some pictures and put them up i would understand it better. it sounds like you have a good idea

 

[Celone]

sorta like this, but you have bindings in it, and you have edges, etc...

 

[Skibumsmith]

bad idea

how would you carve or ski at all for that matter

nice try though

 

[Celone]

lean into every turn??

 

[a--1]

it could work. fun to try

 

[skibikeclambake]

false, skis turn the way that they do, because they have sidecut. this design would work in powder theoretically, but have you ever skied a completely reverse camber ski on groomers? its like pulling teeth

 

[-Nick-]

yeah you wouldnt be able to turn or stop too well but its a cool idea

 

[onearmwanderer]

listen to this man. its not fun at all

 

[Celone]

yeah you really have to use the inside edges of your skis right under you boots and you have to push with each foot, which now that i think about it is DEFINITELY not possible on this circle thing.

 

[Celone]

yah i didnt think about stopping, that would be almost impossible.

 

[Skiing_Is_Fun]

a circle doesn't have edges, you can't turn without edges. keep the plastic sled for the children on the sledding hill.

 

[Jwalk]

its possible but would be really hard to turn

 

[TitsFrijole]

DUDE! AWESOME! lol eric me and you should just take sleds up to rose some day

 

[TerminatorX]

that would not work. if you have edges everywhere, including on the side you are trying to move to, then how would you move forward?

 

[reverendwrong]

if it was more of an oval u made powder shortboards....and that would work...theoreticly.....get mckonkey(sp?) on that

 

[skibikeclambake]

what if you took two skiboards, mounted them like on the sitskis that use two skis, so that your could carve and turn, but mounted a plate on top with bindings, so you could rotate. might not work still

 

[MC_POUTINE]

epic fail...

 

[Malcolm]

haha id love to see some redneck bombing down the hill in a homemade round sled thingy

 

[pianoman]

another cool idea that i actually did and it worked: a 2' x4' sheet of plywood nailed to some old gaper skis with leather handles nailed in. weeeeee it was fun.

 

[Duncan*]

hahha yea get conkey on this

 

[spliff.Life]

no

 

[SEABURN]

you'd probably end up doing the splits and shredding your nuts to pulp

 

[ben802]

i think he meant you had both feet in one....so you couldnt do splits

 

[sirskizalot]

ya

but i dont think it would work either way

[Celone]

lol agreed
