Hi.

In this year we have insane cold winter in Latvia, so I ride with my trialbike really rarely . I like active sports - so I decided to make ski bike for jumping in snowparks.

I used 90cm Revel8 skiboards

Some oldschool front metal hubs. Remove spoke rings and wholaa, you have hubs for ski mounts.

Mounts made from random metal sheets, You can buy them in any building materials store.

It`s time to start to made rear forks. All parts cut from 2mm sheet metal with angle grinder and drill.

Soon will change that grammy seat to normal one :)

This is demo bike, riding, jumping a lot, testing it hard. Works brilliant. I know, looks like really ghetto project, but soon I will start to make my study project about ski bike, and then I will make something more quality and lighter.

Comments for sure welcome.

Thanks!

looks good, you might want to consider moving the footpegs to the main frame instead of the swingarm to improve the rear suspension action

still cool though, i wish we got enough snow here to justify me building one! :lol:

Pegs are one piece with main frame. Swing arm is working between them. All works perfect :)
