Taking the phrase "getting in the backseat" to a whole new level. Love watching you rip it on the groomers. Very impressive.

I have a young son (5) that has a no chance to ski conventionally due to cerebral palsy. I have been thinking of getting him out to try something at the local bump. What is a good age to get him going on a sitski?

Great idea!

Little bugger is tough as nails and would tear it up.

Get him out there!

It might be difficult to find a monoski with a bucket (seat) small enough for him, but the school should be able to use one of theirs and pad it out for him and take him out for some turns.

**vanilla gorilla** · 01-25-2008, 11:27 PM

The size of the rigs has been the biggest concern. The school has a couple buckets that would just swallow him up. But I suppose tethered to an instructor it wouldnt matter much.

Great video, congratulations on the sponsorship

**SitSki13** · 01-25-2008, 11:33 PM

Tethered to an instructor he will be fine. The bucket and ski might be too big for him to control anyway, even if it was a perfect fit. Being tethered and kinda being taken for a tour will be great fun for him and should give him the bug.

**SunCuntry** · 01-25-2008, 11:35 PM

you are rad as fuck dude. I love that shit. The bumps in the chair look crazy hard. You're pretty much my hero. no homo

**SitSki13** · 01-26-2008, 11:35 AM

The bumps can be a bitch! The shock obviously cant anticipate the upcoming bumps so I launch and get unwanted air all over the place if I'm not careful.

**cloudpeak** · 01-26-2008, 01:03 PM

Totally awesome!!!

**bklyn** · 01-26-2008, 01:23 PM

I have had students as young as 5 in what is called a Bi-Ski, a little more stable than a Mono-ski. They make them for kids and adults and pad them up if they are too small for the bucket. I have been working with a group of kids with Spina-bifida for the past several seasons that are now 9-10 years old and they are just getting into Monos and getting more independant. It takes them awile to get used to using the outriggers to stay under control on there own without a teather. Let me know if you have any questions, I have been teaching all abilities of sit skiers for 11 years.

**Crinkle** · 02-07-2008, 01:08 PM

sweet vid. i liked the out takes at the end

few questions came to mind with sitskiing

1. do you have to keep weight centered for carving and weight back in pow (tailgunnin)?

2. did you ski before you lost the use of your legs? wondering how intuative sit skiing came to you if you had previous experience.
