    Ride report

    I went out riding today with my little invention, the ski that straps to the tire....IT SUCKS

    actually it was pretty sweet and i could turn on a dime, but i need to build walls for it or something becuase the tire kept slipping off the ski when i went through deep snow and tried to turn.

    So, i ditched the ski after about 15 minutes. and I just used my crappy ass carlisle turf buster (that ive been meaning to change) the thing is like one of the saucer boards that you go down a snowhill with...i was all over the trail. Had about a mile turning radius.

    I tipped it on the side once and flipped it backwards right on top of me when i was being stupid.

    I found that if you lean to the outside of your turn you can turn a lot tighter in snow (until you roll like i did)..its the same way in water actually. on dirt i always lean in tho.

    I say build one. Just figure out a better way to attach it. more rachet straps or whatever it takes... but if you can get it to stay on, its awesome. Weight isnt an issue either.. the front was floating above the snow when i was in some foot and a half stuff..not plowing like my tire...I could make it through everything, just had to inch my way through it in some spots.

    I zip tied my front brake lever on, no problems there. I even wheelied with the ski on.
