  2. how would you move? With the ski on the front of a bike your rear wheel
    still powers you.

  3. You would have to go downhill, then it would just pretty much be a
    snowboard with a seat.

  5. I was trying to figure out how to build one last year. They already
    have similar things for people missing a leg. My idea was to get one
    of those little snow blade things, and put a frame and seat on it with
    some pegs just above the ski. Think It would be nearly impossible to
    ride though. one other idea I had was to put to small ski at a 30-45
    degree angle on each side, so when you lean to turn it touchs balances
    and helps you turn. mabye with a couple people working on ides we
    could get something that would work.

  6. You would have to go downhill,yes, but it would be interesting to see it
    be done.

    I may not be stupid enough to try everything, but I'm dumb enough to try
    anything.

  8. USA founder Bill Jenack used to have one. He called it the Uni Ski. It
    consisted of a seat attached to a single ski (this was before
    snowboards). There was a picture in an old USA Newsletter of somebody
    (possibly Sem Abrahams) taking it down a hill. I don't know how it
    steered.

    You could stick a seat on a snowboard, but it would be a variation on a
    snowboard and hardly a unicycle...

    You can't get up and try it again if you don't fall first.
