A support assembly for use with snow sports boards includes a base configured to be attached to the snow sports board. A frame has a first portion extending downward and a second portion extending rearward from the first portion. A seat is mounted on the second portion of the frame. A shock absorber extends between the base and the first portion of the frame. During use, the support assembly is configured to support a rider sitting on the seat in a face-forward position with the rider's knees vertically below and forward of the rider's hips.

Disclosed is a support and suspension assembly for a snow sports board. The assembly includes a base configured to be attached to a snow sports board and a frame above the base. The frame includes a first portion extending vertically upward or upward and forward to an upper end. The frame further includes a second portion extending generally rearward from the upper end of the first portion. A seat is on the second portion of the frame. A shock absorber is connected between the base and the frame. A linkage assembly is pivotably connected between the base and the first portion of the frame.

An apparatus for adapting a single-track vehicle for use on a chairlift is provided. A first adapter portion may be configured to be removably coupled to at least a portion of a single-track vehicle. A second adapter portion may be pivotably coupled to the first adapter portion. A space formed between the first adapter portion and the second adapter portion may be configured to receive at least a portion of a chairlift seat of a chairlift.

A snow bike's three (3) piece chassis includes a frame disposed about the chassis' center. The chassis also includes an elongated, front fork, rotatably secured at an upper end of the frame's front end. A lower end of the front fork carries an elongated front snowboard. Lastly, the chassis includes a spring loaded swingarm that is pivotally secured to a rear end of the frame furthest from the front fork, and projects rearward therefrom. A distal end of the swingarm carries an elongated rear snowboard. A hole, that pierces the rear snowboard adjacent to its attachment to the swingarm, receives one end of a V-shaped plate that is rotatable so the plate's end projects beneath the rear snowboard into snow therebeneath. A coil spring, disposed between the swingarm and the V-shaped plate, draws the V-shaped plate's projecting end out of snow.

An apparatus for transporting objects over soft and hard surfaces is disclosed. The apparatus includes a cart and a sled. The cart includes a base plate, toggles mounted at a top surface of the base plate, wheels mounted at a bottom surface of the base plate, and a cart handle mounted to the base plate. The sled includes eyelets and cables drawn through the eyelets. Further, the sled includes clips mounted at sidewalls of the sled. The sled is used for holding objects during transportation. The cables are used for pulling the sled over the soft surface for transporting the objects. Further, the sled holding the objects is placed over the base plate, and the toggles are mounted to the clips to mount the sled to the cart. The cart handle is used for pulling the cart over the hard surface for continued transporting of the objects.

The present disclosure is directed to a ski instruction method including the use of a stabilizing assembly during the instruction. The stabilizing assembly may include a balance bike that may provide stability to a student skier during the ski instruction process. In some embodiments, the student skier may be in a seated position on the balance bike, while in other embodiments the student skier may be in a standing position while straddling the balance bike. During the ski instruction method, the balance bike's rear ski is used to demonstrate the fundamentals of edge movements, rotary movements, and/or pressure movements.

The invention concerns a device for controlling a monoski (1), in particular for snow, by means of the combined simple rotation and simple tilting of a single control member such as a handlebar, simultaneously by lateral inclination and by longitudinal twisting. It therefore combines the necessary mechanical functions of a pair of conventional fixtures with the ease of use of a bicycle, and does not require a specific monoski. It makes it possible to move freely on the snow, controlling with both feet held but not locked, or indeed to use one foot to help push on flat terrain and provide stability. The lever arm provided by the control member is considerably superior to that of a pair of conventional fixtures, greatly improving ease of use and the maximum capacities of the device. Finally, it can be quickly folded for ease of handling and storage.
