Abstract
A system, configuration, and method for converting a pair of skis to perform as an emulation snowboard is provided. The system includes a pair of skis, and a coupling device including a platform having an upper planar surface with a plurality of mounting locations with mounting system therein. The mounting system couples the skis together and provides a surface on which a pair of bindings may be affixed. The steps for conversion include providing a pair of skis, removing a ski binding from each ski in the pair of skis, if a binding is installed on either ski in the pair of skis, providing a platform with a mounting system, utilizing the mounting system to affix the platform to each ski in the pair of skis, and attaching a pair of snowboard bindings to the platform.
Claims30
A system, comprising:
- a platform having an upper planar surface with a plurality of mounting locations wherein each mounting location is configured to receive a mounting system;
- each mounting system configured to affix said platform to a pair of skis thereby forming said pair of skis into an emulation snowboard, wherein said platform combines each ski in said pair of skis in parallel allowing each ski to flex independent of each other;
- and
- said platform including a plurality of binding apertures, whereby said apertures are configured for receiving mounting screws for snowboard bindings.
A method for converting a pair of skis into a mono single-board for emulation of snowboarding, comprising:
- providing a pair of skis;
- removing a ski binding from each ski in said pair of skis, if a binding is installed on either ski in said pair of skis;
- providing a platform with a mounting system;
- utilizing said mounting system to affix said platform to each ski in said pair of skis;
- and
- attaching a pair of snowboard bindings to said platform.
