Hey guys.

I'm a student from Cal State LA and I wanted to do some research to find out if there are any adaptive Snowboarders out there with great new ideas in terms of equipment.

I know for some of you it kinda sucks having to be asked these questions like you're some kind of "experiment" but this is pretty legit. What I'm trying to do is gather information as to what kind of equipment y'all might what to see in the future and try to put the production of this equipment into motion. So these questions aren't for some 21 question paper. I actually want to implement these ideas...

Any questions for me will be gladly received as well...

have a great day

joe

I have seen photos/video of people who monoski and just stick snowboards on their rigs instead of a ski. I think a lot of people who used to snowboard before their injuries just use monoskis now. Monoskiing is awesome. Go to the DSES website http://www.disableds...sternsierra.org, and maybe email someone from there for info because they are one of the best adaptive sports organizations out there. They are based in Mammoth Lakes (right at Mammoth Mountain), California.
