Snow capable recreational platform
A board for downhill winter sports forgoes the use of bindings for holding a person in place. An elongated rigid frame receives a foot board on a top portion and a base board on a bottom portion. A steering board allows for a person to direction motion. The elongated rigid frame also receives a rotatable steering column, which is secured through an arm and steering collar. A bearing assembly, including inner race and outer race, allows for rotation of the steering column within the steering collar. The steering column has a control end which includes a first handle and a second handle that serve as a user interface. The steering column also has an actuation end, the actuation end being a fork which is mounted to the steering board. A person can use the handles to rotate the steering column and thus the steering board in order to change direction.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL TRANSPORT
A multifunction transport is designed to provide transport over snow, ice, grass, or ground which being towed or pushed. The transport may also function as a shelter or chair when raised on end. The transport may be equipped with kits or inserts to facilitate different uses. The transport may include a harness which may be used with the transport or may be used as a trailer without the transport.

Multi-piece sled
A multi-piece snow sled designed to be transported in a compact form then assembled into a full-sized sled, and more specifically a multi-piece snow sled designed to be transported in a compact form then assembled into a full-sized sled having a rigid floor. The multi-piece sled comprises a front sled body piece, a rear sled body piece, a front interface edge, a rear interface edge, and a plurality of removable fasteners securing the front interface edge to the rear interface edge.
Scooter with rotatable platform
A scooter having a riding platform rotationally engaged to a front steering assembly is provided which significantly increases the ability of riders to perform tricks. The riding platform is rotationally engaged to the steering column which itself may be employed as a riding platform. An optional mechanism may be employed whereby the riding platform is rotated by a spin of the steering column with the handlebars. The scooter may also be equipped with skids to allow employment in the snow or on ice.
Ski bike with multiple steering components
A ski bike for gliding across a slick surface that dampens shock forces on skis and provides precise maneuverability on a slick surface. The ski bike is configured to turn through either: a rotatable handle bar sub assembly, by shifting the weight of the rider, or through a carving technique involving digging the skis into snow and following the formed carved path to turn. The ski bike dampens shock forces on the skis through a dampener that absorbs shock forces from a front ski, a front shock pivot mount that that enables lateral pivoting to absorb lateral shock forces, and a swing arm tower that enables lateral pivoting of a pair of rear skis. A stomp plate provides stability by gripping footwear of a rider and enabling passage of moisture. A frame includes a lift bar that enables the ski bike to be lifted by ski lift.

KNEELBOARD FOR TRANSPORTING ACROSS A SURFACE
The Kneelboard device is for transporting a user across a surface, including handrail parts, runners and a multi-point harness attached together upon a user's kneeling legs, thighs, calves and/or hips, that are configured to be operable for generally maintaining balance and control. A plurality of side wall section(s), a seat portion, and one or more shin well segment(s), wherein the one or more shin well segment(s) are configured to provide a resting position for a user's legs, knees, shins and/or feet. One or more instep portion(s), wherein the one or more instep portion(s) are configured to provide a resting position for a user's instep. A raised back edge portion disposed at an end of the device's interior, and a plurality of underside edge section(s) where each underside edge section may considerably taper inward to allow for at least one of a controlled steering, deceleration and stopping.

SKI-ATTACHABLE UPRIGHT CONVEYANCE
A ski-attachable upright conveyance can have a swept-back handle, an upright frame, strengthening members, ski clamp attachments, a braking system, and a plurality of standing plates. The ski clamp attachments allow simple attachment to a variety of skis (skates, wheels, etc.) to form the base of the conveyance so that it can slide across snow, ice, etc. The standing plates provide a non-slip surface upon which a user places his/her feet, allowing the person to stand upright while operating the conveyance. A braking system can allow a user to safely control their speed, stop, etc. The upright frame sweeps upwards before joining the swept-back handle. The frame locks the ski clamp attachments together and provides rigidity. Additional rigidity and support can be added via strengthening support members. A user can vary the pressure and forces exerted on the swept-back handle to assist in steering.
