my older brother has been a runner for years, the past twenty years or so he has been running on and off again for one primary reason, to stay in shape for surfing...especially since he's moved inland a bit...lately he has entered a few ultra marathons, but strictly trail races, he has no patience for running on the street any more, luckily he lives in a hilly area with tons of trails that picks up some snow do to its slightly higher elevation...I've been telling him how much "speed hiking", I do when I go
powdersnowskating on a local toll road... explaining how light and easy it is to travel with a
powdersingle versus a snowboard, and how easily it it would be for him to ride on all his downhills throughout his ten mile runs, I believe it would break up the monotony of the long slogs...he agreed, we talked about a 35" mini-version of a
powdersurfskate, that had four holes and one string that would act as a wooden 'string' backpack...he told me the trails by him open up to great big grassy meadows in the middle of a heavily wooded Forest, he added that they were real steep in spots, we both daydream for a minute about the
possiblities before we agreed upon a size.....I can picture him running for miles in anticipation of discovering the next great slope which lied around every bend...here's the '
lunchtray' with a computer-aided string mock-up...(i
kno this crazy idea is way out there, but
steve's game)
string has a quick release button
