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.
