Abstract
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a snowboard or ski or the like comprises a base body having at least one edge, a top surface and a bottom surface; wherein the edge comprises at least one channel formed therein to provide two or more edge elements to contact a medium during use.
Claims15
An apparatus, comprising:
- a base body having at least one edge, a top surface and a bottom surface;
- wherein the edge comprises at least two or more channels formed therein to provide two or more edge elements to contact a medium during use;
- the edge having a cavity formed therein;
- a sidewall disposed in the cavity, wherein the edge elements are attached to the sidewall, the sidewall comprising a shock absorbing material, wherein the two or more edge elements may move into or out of the cavity due to flexing of the sidewall;
- wherein the two or more channels engage the medium as the base body is tilted at greater angles with respect to a planar surface of the medium.

- wherein the edge comprises at least two or more channels formed therein to provide two or more edge elements to contact a medium during use;
- the edge having a cavity formed therein;
- a sidewall disposed in the cavity, wherein the edge elements are attached to the sidewall, the sidewall comprising a shock absorbing material, wherein the two or more edge elements may move into or out of the cavity due to flexing of the sidewall;
- wherein a first channel near the bottom of the base body engages the medium and an edge element of a second channel near the top of the base body does not engage the medium if the base body is tilted at shallower angles with respect to a planar surface of the medium, and the edge element of the second channel engages the medium if the base body is tilted at greater angles with respect to the planar surface of the medium.
