Title: Sport equipment for snow ride
Technical Field
This technical solution relates to sport equipment intended for
ride on snow or on artificial surfaces.
Background Art
For snow ride there are currently used either ski where the
longitudinal axis is symmetrical with longitudinal -axis of
rider's shoe, or snowboard where longitudinal axis is orientated
asymmetrically to the long axis of the board and where both
shoes are attached to one board.
The disadvantages of the first concept lie in impossibility to
sidle the skis and to simultaneously fully distribute the weight
of the rider onto the edges of skis. The rider is therefore
unable to take advantage of ride with use of lateral cut out
radius.
On the other hand, the second concept implies the use of such
radius because the binding axis is asymmetrical to the
longitudinal axis of the board, but the problem here is the
rider's stability when stopping on the slope. That is given by
the fact that both shoes are steadily fixed to one board.
Moreover, if the rider does not untie at least one shoe, it is
almost impossible to move on flat ground or uphill.
Disclosure of the technical solution
The disadvantages of current stage are overcome with sport
equipment according to this technical solution, which involves
two boards having lateral cut with radius on both side of the
board that is flexed upwards on at least one side and where shoe
is attached to the board with binding, provided that the
longitudinal axis of the board is horizontally asymmetrical to

the longitudinal axis of the binding. Such construction enables
the rider to take advantage of snowboard style ride while having
secured the stability in all phases of the ride and during
stand. The proposed sport equipment also enables the rider to
move on flat grounds by bringing the balance on one board and
pushing off with another, thus without the need to untie the
shoe. Another advantage is the possibility to move uphill
without the need to untie one or both shoes.
Disclosure of figures
The sport equipment for ride on snow according to this technical
solution is further explained by following figures enclosed with
this document.
The Fig. la shows binding of sport shoes to the boards, which
are identical and are flexed upwards on both sides and have
radius shaped lateral cut. From the figure it can be seen that
longitudinal axis of shoe tied by binding to the board is
horizontally asymmetrical to the longitudinal axis of the
boards, while only one shoe is steadily tied with the binding on
each board.
The Fig. lb is side view of embodiment displayed on Fig. la.
The Fig. 2a shows binding of shoes on two boards, which is
another option of the embodiment of the boards with lateral
radiuses, but here having bottom end lifted up on one end of the
board and rounded tip flexed upwards on the other.
The Fig. 2b is side view of embodiment displayed on Fig. 2a.
Example of the embodiment
The embodiment as presented on Fig. la consists of two identical
and symmetrical boards 1. The boards I are made-up using
combined method where improved wood is surrounded by foam. Each
board 1 is provided with steel edges and skid on the bottom side
and its length is 70 cm.

On front and rear side according to the ride direction, the
boards 1 are identical in terms of size and shape. They are
rounded with rounded tips 5 which are 29cm wide and are flexed
upwards to the height of 5cm against the horizontal level of the
board. Both longitudinal sides have cut in radius of 15m and
each board 1 has vertical flexure of 3mm in transverse axis of
the board 1, and the flexure is made upward so that the steel
edges are in touch with the snow surface when the rider puts on
the board 1. The boards 1 have soft snowboard type binding 3.
The center of the binding 3 is situated in the geometrical
center of the board 1, and the binding 3 axis is on both boards
and in the same direction horizontally turned by 450 against the
longitudinal axis of the board 1. According to the Fig. 2b there
is also another embodiment where the boards 1 are provided with
bottom ends 4 lifted up on one end of the board 1 and rounded
tips 5 flexed upwards on the other.
Industrial utilisation
This technical solution is utilizable in sport and entertainment
industry.
