nowt fancy or special, but my father in law had 2 a these up attic, been there since wife was young, few new slats an a coat of paint an my kids love em    

I wonder how much a cheap pair of second hand skis are?   Be a piece of piss to screw them to a bit of 12mm ply raised on some lengths of2x4 for ground clearence. I imagine that would fly!   f**k

I knocked this one up the runners are made out of plastic arcitrave it was very fast and the missus and kids all managed to injure therselves on it.

Few bad sledging injuries in the paper today, one lad leg cut wide open and another in intensive care with head injuries after hitting a tree....

 

I think we should be getting a fair whack of snow over the next few days, so the body boards will be out on the weekend...

Made a set of runners which replace the wheels on the lads go-cart. Goes like stink and very maneuverable with the steering wheel still operational. Also has adjustable seat so usable for all.

 

any pics pal, i got 2 kettler go karts in me shed, never thought a that :D

 

Here you are, Just made from some off cuts of metal bed frame I had lying round. Like I said I need to replace the ply that was attached to the bottom of the runners (stops snow melting to them). Had to cut the front stubb axles off but one was bent anyway. and can be converted back when the snows gone.

the seat is fixed to a discovery seat runner so fully adjustable.

My son tried some down hill racing but the brake only does one wheel. anyway, he ended hitting a small tree and bent the axle and broke one of the back wheels. Not a scratch on him though. bought the bits but the snow hit before i got to fit them. Still, it can be returned to go-cart if needed at some time.
