So I wanted to go skiing with my uni … but did not want to hurt other skiers with an out of control uni bouncing down a slope after an UPD.
So I used a thin mountaineering rope (3 meters) to build a leash.
I tied each end to a branch of the fork and had my hand wrapping itself around the middle.
Riding with a leash is a curious experience, it does work and it gives you another feeling. I had the leash in the same hand that usually grabs the handle and, for the moment, was not confident enough to have one hand on the handle and another hand on the leash (but I am pretty sure that this will provide an interesting control on the uni).
Only drawback: when you fall you sometime get the leash between your legs (nothing hurt ).
as for the snow: when I arrived up in the mountain the foehn wind had blown the snow melted, all ski-lifts were closed
I have snow MUni on my to-do list, but it’s not worth buying a strong 24" for it. I bet the feeling is great, when riding amongst skiers. Any comments from them?
Depends who you ask. The resort management might not like it, but the ski bum working the lift would probably think it’s cool. It’s easier to get forgiveness than permission.
that’s a competion I could have won with my Coker!. In another thread I told how I UPDed from my Coker and it decided to go on: amazing feeling!
the Coker continued to roll without me!
