It doesn't snow on Cape Cod

[Graylock]

All you guys that are socked in and all we get is cold damp wind. We do have clear ice but this may change tomorrow. I just made this in a couple of hours, just browsing through the bone yard. If it works out I'll weld up something more permanent. It started as a shiny Dyno BMX and a fork off a 26" road bike. Some motocross style bars and an exercise bike seat. Footrest to complete the build was a piece of oak beaten in tighter than a bulls..... :shock: .......and this didn't cost me a cent. My oldest daughter's first comment was " Holy crap dad, is that what I think it is? ". I hope it snows on the Cape so we can try this bad boy out.

Looks like some Olin Mark IV's. I took a scooter with 12" wheels and did something similar when I was 13.

Now you just need to wax them boards. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Cman you have a good eye there! I cleaned out the cellar last weekend and found these on a Klondike Derby sled I made for the local Girl Scout troop ten years ago. The sled's going into a burn but the Olin Mark IV's have a new life.

It didn't snow that much here but my daughters found a glaze of it at the Ocean Edge Golf Course at dusk. The snow bike was a big hit with them but they said they want to try it in deeper snow so they can carve some turns

The great new england ski bike competition is on. As I type this Nicolette and I are building a ski bike from material left behind from a neighbor. Pictures to follow!

You tell your niece that she rock's.
A couple of pointers if I may CJ. The steeing head angles may need to be raked out by putting on a fork from a larger bike or extend the forks or add more blocks to the front skis or less blocks to the rear. This may help the way it handles. IMMHO.
Beki has more time on this Dyno Snow Bike then I do and she loves it. Love to see those pic's
