Barbara: I can't remember those letters and for those reasons I'm out.

[@sdnmkhn]

Barbara mentioning how the ski-bikes would take up too much space on the ski lift and would be burdensome for everyone else was a good point

[@meganpare8998]

If anyone is wondering why this is not blowing up its because Ski slopes and other businesses like them have very strict insurance rules so these “bikes” are not covered under their policies making them not allowed at ski resorts

[@TheRusschannel]

yep, will NEVER work .. not on public slopes anyways

[@bwilkesiii]

People use them at all of the resorts here in tahoe

[@subservient8]

@@TheRusschannel to be fair, thats exactly what they said about snowboarding. eventually though, the market changes and so does the rules to allow those changes. It would be rather easy to set up a "lane" for these bikes if the market was there for it.

There is a BIG issue when you come up with something that needs NO prior lessons to learn it. Mainly you get dangerous people on mountains who are out of control most of the time.

[@slorgdulschmodus]

I have to agree with everyone else: if a skier or snowboarder collides with another person, most of the impact is jelly-to-jelly, body-on-body impact. If you hit someone with this bike, the point of impact is a tiny area of tube framing, which could easily snap their bones/spine. It's a bit iffy

[@LeoTomass]

If you wanna die on snow , this is the thing you need !

[@davidtaylor111]

I'm an avid mountain biker and I wouldn't buy this because one it is way too expensive and to the smart way to do it is just to adapt the skis to your current bike so you don't have to spend that amount of money again

[@gusespinosa1107]

Are t mountain bikes a couple of grand?

[@chrisbarry9345]

I immediately thought that it should be a kit also but I'm sure a mountain bike weighs more unless you're already spending a lot of money on a mountain bike. A cheap mountain bike would be difficult to carry on a chair lift with the added weight of the skis

[@reinabrowne]

A good mountain bike is up to 7k these days

They get banned when someone runs into a skier and breaks one of their bones. Clumsy on a chair lift and possible to drop on someone. Imagine a bunch of these at the lodge. Cool, but dangerous to others.

[@Eddiediaz23]

You realize plenty of ski resorts already transform there resort into a mtb park during non winter months?

[@mf8615]

Yes, with dedicated chair-racks or hooks replacing every 3rd or 4th chair. Carrying capacity in the summer is 1/4 what it is in the winter. This lift equipment change only works with the smaller summer crowds.

I've never heard of a ski bike until I saw this video. Mark pointed them in the right direction: they should be working with the other ski bike manufacturers to deal with the challenges in the marketplace: collision risk, insurance, resistance from resorts, lack of portability.

[@-Legacy]

Looks tough to take up a ski lift

This is nothing new. I mean i remember seeing some concept of this in the late 90s, but ever since then. Many tried, and most failed to make this commerical.

Probably can't take it on a standard lift which is the problem.

Wait, i don't know much business but 40% means he owns the company since each get 30% separately???

[@Winamp_]

Great audio quality. Nice.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

What Barbara said regarding it taking away revenue, is completely false. The ski bikes aren't there to replace ski'ers and snowboarders. People do not pay each time they take the gondola. There will always be people purchasing lift tickets, and if ski bikes are allowed, that more people purchasing their tickets.

[@sdot5389]

It will limit lift capacity…which 100% affects operations

[@MusicalMemeology]

These guys still haven’t changed their logo or name.

[@AkireMaru]

Why on Earth would you accept the offer? They must be really desperate for cash. Robert can now effectively kick them out and he’s made no guarantee about bringing in the influencer. They basically sold their business for nothing.

[@502opz346]

No kids can ride it , since there are no real brakes... The breaks are issue ! Since it goes down really fast...

[@hiimmidas]

I think you can stop ok if you have enough room to make big turns. Otherwise, you're hitting something or falling over. Imagine hundreds of these on a mountain and how bad it would hurt to crash.... no way this becomes successful. Too dangerous, and it takes away too much lift revenue and space.

[@mordmartin]

Mark's advice is to call their competitors and work with them. 😂 Wonder if he did that with his own business?

[@sdot5389]

Businesses do this all the time to lobby the government for their industry. Ever hear of a trade association?

[@hiimmidas]

Would you ride one of these bikes on a packed mountain during spring break?

[@Jammin-thru-Life]

The sharks are thinking...wait a minute, the peasants can escape on these!

[@SuperLegolover23]

Honestly looks like a cool concept. Will say, they’re not bad in terms of price range, less than some higher end skis. One thing I have a concern with, the ski bases aren’t detachable, how are you suppposed to repair/ replace them? Get a whole new bike? If the bases go on those, you’re kinda screwed.

[@michman2]

They don't detach on the slopes, of course they come off with a wrench for maintenance.

[@kidShibuya]

Yeah its like bikes. The tyres aren't detachable so when they wear out or you just get a flat, you have to buy a whole new bike. Its outrageous.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

takes a few minutes to remove 4 screws to detach them. I own one.

[@theempire00]

Did the deal go through? Hows the business doing now????😮😮😮

I was riding a snowbike 20 years ago. They are not new, they just didn't take off. They are niche product, the market is not that big. On another note, Sean White will probably want nothing to do with this deal.

[@RedHawk.Sokotra]

Difficult for me to see a reason it won't catch on like snowboards, but I'm not an expert. You are probably right, I would imagine someone like Sean White already heard about it long ago and decided he didn't like it for some reason not mentioned here... then Robert will change his mind and the deal won't go through. Maybe not, guess we'll find out...

[@wintercame]

@@RedHawk.Sokotra Apparently they're a liability if they fall from the lifts. That's a show stopper.

[@joech1065]

It's an investment, not a charity. If he believes that some business is socially important, he can just donate pro bono. They had 500k in total sales, IIRC. It's possible he won't even make his 100K (split between another partner) back.
