It was on SR :)
Scooter: don't reply here, because it's an old thread
Videoclip: local big-air box

About the scooter, it's taken apart for the summer. I might rebuild it when the snow comes down and i might put my white 22" tall rad bars on it, but i may as well put on a regular steertube with a modified BMX stem and bars.
Another idea was to build a whole new deck for snow, no dropouts or anything.
Btw as in the scooter thread i said those double-nose skis were in manufacturing. Well, we got them, and they were shitty. They were smaller, thinner and appearantly weaker too, so after riding 2 hours for them, i bent my back ski with a flat whip. Version#1 skis for life. Grip sucks. Regular skateboard grip just collects snow and feet may slip off. In the winter i was thinking of glueing a door mat on the deck, but never got into action of doing it really. Maybe i should.

The big-air gap was the shit. I loved it but i never cleared it. I ate shit and snow many times so i quit it after two days of trying because my knees got really swollen for a week and i couldn't w even walk like a normal human. Advice: wear pads even if you think that snow is soft. Appearantly when i rode, they weren't powder snow days.

btw, i'm gonna re-edit the video and add a few clips more. Nothing much.

even worse than griptape, if you are talking about the fabric kind...they'll collect all the snow, and then it'll freeze and become as slippery as a freshly zambonied skating rink lol. The snow scooter that you made is pretty cool though :D

Mnyeah, depends what kind of doormat i could glue on. It would make it heavier too, not to mention it's already as heavy as f*** because of the steel skis.
Maybe some rubber would help, i've seen snowskates with some rubber-kind tape on it.
