	03-21-2009 06:36 PM #1Non powered toy... that I could get hurt on
 
 I'm trying to build a type of street louge, but made unconventionally, by the same physics used in alpine skiing, also using old alpine skis as part of the design... what I'm trying to build is just a simple non powered kart, that rolls on casters, ans turns without changing the angle of the of the front castors, as parallel to the frame of the louge ( the casters won't turn )... on the snow, if you put your weight down on 1 ski, you will turn that way.. my thinking is that if I cut the skis in 1/2 and mount them up paralell to the frame on the outside, and put 2 castors on the tips, if I push up or pull down on the tip of ither, changing the weight ratio on the castor and louge itself, I will be able to get it to turn.... the project consists of 4 old alpine skis.. there decently stiff rossignol Cut skis, from the late 1990's,. I have 2 130 CM and 2 140 CM, and the main frame/ seat will be built from a Rossignol 159 Widebody snowboard, and a couple 2x4's.. rear wheels will be mounted near the tail of the snowboard, on the snowboard.. total cost is $7 for the castors ( 90# rating each, and there 2" castors ) cause I got everything else free........ any idea's? am I gonna end up hurt?  You don't know what you've got til it's gone
