A snowboard trainer (SBT) includes an SBT platform, a slide rail, slide supports, a central stand, and a front interface. The slide rail extends from a first end to a second end. The slide supports connect the slide rail to the SBT platform. The slide supports are configured to support the slide rail relative to the SBT platform. The central stand is positioned relative to the slide rail on the SBT platform and positioned between the first end and the second end of the slide rail. The central board receiver is connected to the central stand. The front interface is configured to be secured to a front portion of a snowboard. The front interface includes a roller bearing sized to be retained in the central board receiver such that when the roller bearing is received in the central board receiver, the front interface three-dimensionally rotates relative to the central stand.

Detachable propelling apparatus to be fastened to a snowboard in order to propel it uphill. Said apparatus is equipped with foldable or removable tracks, being these tracks powered by either an engine, or a motor or a turbine. The apparatus is integral with an apt adjustable attachment plate, that is directly fastenable to the feet rests (boots attachments) holes of the snowboard. The invention is completed by a rucksack for transporting tracks and batteries, with an opportune frame for protecting the back of the wearer in case of fall and a remote control, in case equipped with movement sensors. The invention is a solution for the technical problem of powering a snowboard limiting the impact of such fixture on the snowboard itself.

A locomotion apparatus that has a base that secures a skateboard platform to a snow ski as a combination. The base is secured into position by bindings of a ski. A brake mechanism is provided that has a brake seat, a lever arm and a spring arm that cooperate with each other to enable the brake mechanism to move between a deployed brake position, at which the combination brakes to prevent its locomotion, and a non-deployed brake position, at which the locomotion is enabled.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and configurations for an apparatus for identifying a maneuver of sports equipment. In one instance, the apparatus may comprise a housing to be attached to the sports equipment; two or more sensors disposed on or in the housing to sense acceleration or rotation of the sports equipment during the motion of the sports equipment, and to output motion data associated with the acceleration or rotation of the sports equipment; and circuitry disposed in the housing and coupled to the sensors to receive the motion data and to identify a maneuver performed using the sports equipment, based on the motion data. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

A snowmobile has a suspension with a spring. The spring has a central loop portion and an elastomeric bushing disposed in the central loop portion. A limiting cable is disposed adjacent to the spring. The snowmobile also has a rear snowmobile suspension with a torsion link structure. A control arm is pivotally connected to a first end of the torsion link structure. A wheel assembly is pivotally connected to a second end of the torsion link structure. A first slide rail is attached to the wheel assembly with a sliding mechanism. A track around the rear snowmobile suspension has a paddle oriented substantially perpendicular to the track. A first gripping element is disposed on the face of the paddle.
