A ski for use on ice or snow is disclosed. The ski includes a ski body having a tip portion, a tail portion, and a longitudinal running length extending between the tip portion and the tail portion and a substantially flat bottom surface for sliding on snow or ice. The ski also includes a suspension system comprised of a substantially rigid support structure secured to the longitudinally central region of the said ski body at two attachment locations separated by a distance of at least 5 inches along the longitudinal axis of the ski body, and at least one resilient element configured to exert an opposing force between the support structure and the ski body in the area between the two attachment locations.

The present invention provides a kind of sports equipment, particularly sports equipment for water sport or snow sport, comprising a main body made of light rigid material and having at least one built-in framework that is harder than the main body. The sports equipment further comprises a deck fixed on the top surface of the main body and configured to be harder than the main body. Compared with prior sport equipment, the equipment of the invention has the advantages such as light weight, durability, collision resistance and easy handling.

A snowshoe-ski kit comprising a hybrid snowshoe-ski comprising a main body defining a bottom surface operative for moving over snow and having a snowshoe-ski traction coefficient, and a top surface opposite the bottom surface. The hybrid snowshoe-ski further comprises a binding attached to the main body for attachment to a person's foot atop the top surface. The kit also comprises a first removable and reversible sheet-like skin having opposite first and second surfaces each defining respective first and second skin traction coefficients that differ from each other and that differ from the snowshoe-ski bottom surface traction coefficient. The first skin is removably attachable to the snowshoe-ski main body with either one of the first and second surfaces bearing against the bottom surface and the other one of the first and second surfaces being exposed, for allowing the snowshoe-ski to be operatively used either alone or with the first skin installed with either one of the first and second skin surfaces exposed.

The present invention relates to a gliding board for cross-country skiing, intended to receive a shoe fastener (F) including an upper face, a lower face and side ridges, characterized in that at least one of the side ridges of the board is provided with a series of notches (11) whereof each rim (11a) defines, on the one hand, a transverse stop face (12) making it possible to stop the board in the backwards direction, and on the other hand, a longitudinal connecting face (13) between the notches (11) allowing forward gliding.

A steering system for a snowboard includes two binding interface pods, one of which may be active and one of which may be passive. Rotation or tilting of a top plate of the active binding interface pod in response to rotation or tilting of the rider's steering foot causes counter-rotation of a steering fin under the rider's steering foot. The passive binding interface pod is responsive via a linkage between the active and passive binding interface pods to cause rotation of a steering fin under the rider's non-steering foot. Coordinated counter-rotation of the steering fins causes the board to turn in the direction of rotation of the rider's steering foot when the steering fins are unaligned. Optionally, both binding pods may be active in steering, i.e. enabling two footed steering.

The present invention relates to, a sliding board, the structure of which comprises at least one lower layer, at least one upper layer, a core, at least one rail delimiting a groove with a top opening for receiving and guiding an anchoring component for a shoe fastening baseplate, wherein it comprises at least one serrated bar separate and spaced apart from the groove of the rail and designed to interact with at least one peripheral toothed sector mounted on the lower surface of the baseplate with a view to preventing its longitudinal translational movement, and to, a fastening device designed to equip said sliding board and a snowboard equipment comprising said sliding board and said device.

A snow slider with a dimensional base includes a body, with top and base surfaces. The base surface is formed with more than two dimensions, and variations of the base surface include forming it with double, triple and quadruple edges. The edges of the base surface may be symmetrical or asymmetrical. The base surface may also be formed with plural facets that have angles and protrude from the base. The facets may also be formed with angles that are indented in the base. The base may also be formed with plural grooves.
