We see a lot of great concepts here. But the questions remains: where can we buy them (when they become available)?

Hi there.
Great invention that would give you two edges from one ski.
It is interesting concept but already invented. I´ve seen in ‘80 snowboards with this kind of mechanism…It seems too complicated and it gives me impression that there is no contact with the surface.

Then when I think bit more…I do ski for around 30 years…You cannot edge the ski as much as you want, you cannot press on the surface.

Ignoring the fact that a skier’s load distribution is completely ruined by this, it still won’t make it into the rack of a serious racer, or likely even a hobbyist. Skis need to do far more than dig their edges into snow; they also need to bow and flex to maintain a constant carve in snow surfaces as variable as can be imagined.

The very mechanic of a parabolic design is that during a turn, the ski (now tilted on an edge) is flexed upwards along its relative Y axis. (See the following image, look at the outside ski: http://bomberonline.com/vbulletin/attachment.php?s=3f4d03e2941cb268a01c72ffbb49fcb1&attachmentid=5352&stc=1&d=1160950368 )

This design will be nonfunctional in such an environment (occurring less dramatically during every turn made by any skier), and will likely cause an absolute loss of stability.

In short, this design overthinks the wheel, and fails.
