I can see them taking that further and being added to the extreme sports out there

look bloody cool

Funny, they've been around for years and years, but they never looked quite right to me.  Then someone does the obvious and keeps regular cranks and pedals on and it all makes sense 

[Badbaldie]

youve been able to hire these on the slopes for  years now. you see people hire em then think  then  then take em back 30 mins later

Was gonna put summat together last winter but never got round to it

I will this year.... maybe... 

[James Nada]

If I could buy the front and rear hub/ski bits I'd be seriosly tempted to but a set for these snowy occasions - just whip of the wheels, chain and chainring and pop on the skis!

I think someone with the manufacturing skills could make a decent profit selling a BMX snow conversion kit!

i think its time for me to hit the lab,piece o cake comes to mind..now where to get some old skiis

[motomagII]

only prob is you will have to tighten cvranks so they dont spin like mad ,and engineering the part that rotates on what looks like kind of spring on the ski parts bvut man they are rad fookers for sure love the vid

[kev-s]

well southsea is ment to get a whole 6in of snow tonight so i wish i had ski bike for tomorrow

if anyone does make a conversion kit ill be interested

[harris]

the springs just stop it all binding up tight,they have catch hooks to stop the skis flipping right up 
easy little number to build.

You can knock one up with old bits.

you will need -

old rim
old frame forks stem n bars
broken sk8 board
some screws
an old hub
some kind of bracket

[dirtyvans]

funny i looked in these years ago when i started snowboarding, the ones you can hire suck, they weigh a ton and looked impossible to table   

i did look into doing the bike conversion thing as you could buy the kit, but its expensive!

scotts got the right idea, knocking one up

maybe dan can machine us some of the axel thingys
