Excercise Equipment

500 bucks for that MF!?!? I could make one in my garage in 10 minutes.

 

I had one when it was called Skier's Edge (one of the earliest versions.) It was an interesting feeling, but hardly a workout and it did NOT feel at all like skiing to me. With that said though, they ( www.skiersedge.com ) have done some updates, but the one in your original link ain't gonna do a thing for you.

The only time I've seen it put to interesting use was an Olympics training clip where they losened up the belts to allow full L<->R movement, put the skier in front of a wall of buttons and challenged them to both slide back and forth while pushing the lighted button as fast as it came on, but even then, it seemed more of a party trick than a real piece of training equipment.

I should have taken the money and flown to the snow.
