My husband is an amputee on his L leg below the knee from motocross. He grew up snow skiing but couldn't anymore once he had his accident. He now has a ski bike and loves it.

Spine issues here. I tried to snowboard again this season and felt defeated AF. I was sitting mid run just contemplating life and soaking in the beauty when a ski bike went blazing by. It was like a light turned on. Hoping Monday to get my ski bike out for the first time, see how I feel the next day.

Disabled Veteran, i love my SnoGo Type 3 tripod ski bike that i use for Adaptive Equipment ❤ . It gets me out and enjoying life!

[@thesweetone]

I have ankles of glass so this really caught my attention

[@largedoglover99]

I bet this could be knees friendly, love it

[@calvin2032]

I’ve got one and you are right, it is very easy on the knees. I end up worse fitness wise because it is so plush compared to skiing and boarding

[@WeatherManToBe]

I would LOVE this

[@MeetJohnnyNg]

Now this is something I can do

[@floatingleaf9672]

This looks fun!

[@robertpeters6108]

Looks really fun!! I snowboard but also mountain biking so this of course looks appealing. Yet to try it, never seen resort that rents them to tryout. Only down side is how many resorts allow these on their slopes? Snowboarders went through this before in the beginning, so not sure if would want to go through that again... But yeah , definitely would love to try this before buying this

[@daggius]

do you save your strava as a bike or a ski tho?

[@SoundDesignMusicProducer]

How hard is it on the knees?

[@BryceA-fe5et]

I was 25 when I learned this is a thing. May only accept jobs out in Western USA... lol😍

Ski biking is a bad name for the sport 🎿⛷🚲🚵‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚳. Should be called the sport of touching another mans nads.
