SnowBull (it's no bull?)

When I first saw a pic of this sled, I was hoping your could sit up and kite in it - but it's more about luge I'm afraid....

Kober- The snowfer has been around since 96... fun tool for sure, grab any chance you get to play on one!

Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

Kober that buttboard video was my inspiration for my "#@%$#!roach" buggy just a seat on a skateboard with blades. I changed mine a bit and put a bladed hinged footrest off to the side , in its present form I expect it will work pretty well.

2.6 , 3.9 , 5.3 , 6.8 PL Vipers
5 , 7.5 HQ Apex II
14m HQ Montana VII
5m naish element
7m ss turbo diesel
10m pansh blaze

5m beamer dearly departed into a tree
3 "snowspider" homebuilt kite sleds
3 homebuilt buggies
1 skate board with seat on wheels or blades (the c0ckroach)

I'll be at Tug Hill , kites are in the van already. I'm hoping Crystal lake just west of Adams Center will freeze up enough for those of us who feel the need for speed , it could be a nice little addition to the festival.
