Description
These snow skids for skateboards are our own development. The long, snowy and therefore skate-free winter months in the Allgäu region have taken their toll on us. The following idea arose from this hardship: Remove skateboard wheels and instead mount runners with integrated ball bearings on the same surfskate truck system. The sledding hill around the corner can already be converted into a winter skate park.
The idea was simple, but as with every invention, there were a few initial difficulties.
On the one hand, such skids were not available for purchase. So we had to use our own 3D printer to develop some prototypes. After a few iterations, we were satisfied with the shape and found that it works really well on small hills with relatively hard snow.
Die zweite Schwierigkeit war, dass Decks mit Standard-Grip nach einigen Abfahrten einfach rutschig werden. Nachdem wir auch dieses Problem durch eine Art „Spikes“-Lösung gelöst haben, stand dem neuen Winter-Spaß nichts mehr im Weg! Wir freuen uns jeden Winter, wenn wir ideale Bedingungen für diese neue Sportart haben.
But not only on small hills, also on flat tracks we have fun as passionate wingfoilers with our wings and the snowskates during winter.
