Simulated Ski Motion Machine provides training to offer the best possible ski simulation without actually being on the slopes.
Inventor has a prototype available upon request.
• Helps improve a skier's balance, endurance, coordination and reflexes.
• Enhances the use and movement of a skier's entire body when skiing.
• Helps the user train to get into skiing on the slopes.
• Enables the skier to exercise their lower body and stretch muscles in an even manner.
• Offers less resistance and a quiet atmosphere.
Tens of thousands of skiers enjoy the sport every year, however few prepare for the rigorous physical demands that it places on the body. Skiing involves inherent risks and the possibility of serious injury. Lack of training or improper physical preparation can lead to unexpected injuries. These injuries may be prevented by proper physical preparation.
Simulated Ski Motion Machine provides a training apparatus for skiers prior to going on the slopes. The ski machine can have two arching rails that are parallel to each other on a sloped plane. They can be elevated at an angle of a variable degree and joined to the frame structure which can include the handgrips, cross rail and arching rails providing the track. A carriage can ride in side to side movement on the track and can be mounted around the axis. A platform can have two cradles mounted around its axis and cradles wherein two rocking footrests are nested. Dampening member can extend from the front section of the frame structure and join to the midpoint on the transverse bar. An assembly of rollers can be mounted on the frontal sides of both of the cradles, whereby the rollers guide on the cross rail. A rod can extend from the front section of the frame structure to a point where a mounted ball can be reached by the user’s knees. Once the user is standing on the device, they can hold the top of the handrail and move their feet effortlessly either to the right or left of the original position. There is power beneath them that can pull them back to the center rails. The approximate dimensions are 4’4” in height, 5’ in length, 3’ in width and 5’4” in diameter. The exact specifications may vary.
