snow scoot prototype

[ISCOOTPA]

This is just something im working on before the winter months. Im sure many kids know you can get some bad snow in PA so i need something to do. Im having problems trying to figure out how to get the back to work. The front is just a stock fork bolted with 2 bearing spacers to a snow jack front ski thing. Anyone who has made one of these before, if you could help me out in making the back i would very much appreciate it. =)

i know it won't work cuz the fork. but best of luck
or it might work who knows

Looks solid, but griptape + snow = shit
Try to put some deck pins on that, or just put some small ass screws in and hammer the tips flat

thanks for the reply's guys and im pretty sure it will work cause the clearence is good all the way around but i just cant figure out how to attach the back. Oh and yea ill try the deck pin thing, it sounds pretty legit

 

[Tanner!]

yeah deck pins will grip amazing. check out AJ Iorio's tutorial on how to do that in the Super Scooter Modding thread or whatever... the sticky at the top of the scooter section.

That back ski needs to be skinner fer sure

 

[Michael Rankin]

both skis need to be a bit skinnier. but good job so far. hope it works

 

[Thom Cat]

drill holes and bolt it. but you need to counter sink the ski and use flat head bolts, that way its flat on the botom

 

[ISCOOTPA]

thanks man, i knew i would have to countersink the holes so they would be flush with the bottom of the ski hopefully it works out.

for the back do what you did in the front with bigger spacers though i think that would work

 

[Chris Vincent]

ebay sells it for like $20

it has special skis and bolts and is tight

No, no deck pins. Find some boat or wake skate griptape. It's 1/4-1/2 inch thick foam griptape. Even when it's wet, it will be grippy.
Is the front board rigid or does it rotate around when you pick the front end up? Because I wouldn't try riding it if the deck rotates in the fork...

where do you get those crossbar extention things?

It's just a round pipe, bolted in place. Aussies have been doing it for years, haha. "Trollie Bar" if I remember correctly.

 

[ISCOOTPA]

the font doesnt move, if it does its very slight so it wouldnt flop around in the air josh. Clearence is good all the way around so far so the scooter is able to bar and whip lol without that it would be useless. i saw that slip tape stuff at home depot like a week ago and i was wondering if that would work, so ill try that i guess

looks pretty sketchy.
