that's a really clever idea for the steering, the whole rig looks really stable.

looks to me as the same general steering idea as PL's snow buggy. looks like this one would be more floaty on powder.
BTW-you stated PL's new buggies are to have a deeper seat. any other improvements on PL's buggies.
have you heard anything about the new PL Race or the composite rear axle?

Mood: They're ALL good ideas. Right up until they become BAD ideas.

You'd think with a little more engineering you could set the skis on cams that also carve as they are twisted? Of course the simplicity would go right out the window and the weight would probably surge skyward. Cool stuff for sure!
