Abstract
A skiing mechanism comprises an elongated board, a first plate and a second spring plate, comprised of two separate & fastened material(s), one continuous material, or one spring plate integrated with board at manufacture. The first spring plate includes an angled section with a first predetermined cant directed toward the tip of the board. This angled section is separated from the board by a first distance. Furthermore, the second spring includes a section angled according to a second predetermined cant directed toward the tail of the board. This section of the second spring plate is separated from the board by a second distance.
