		Now here’s a little secret of the monoski, it’s less demanding on the lower body than two skis and especially in powder where very few skiers, again two, ever get the time or opportunity to learn to powder ski.
		On a monoski you damn well know where the ski is because there is only one to keep track of.
		Monoskies typically use ski bindings, boots, poles and accessories and that means a lower cost to you.

		The transverse plate itself is adapted to rest on the upper surface of the monoski and is moveable on the upper surface of the monoski at least along one direction component transverse to the longitudinal axis of the monoski.
		Transverse plate 17 itself rests on the upper surface of the monoski, and it is moveable, at least in one transverse direction to the vertical and longitudinal plane of symmetry of the monoski.

		Monoskiers are pulled by motorboat, since 1962 also by cable invented by Bruno Rixen (GER), in different speeds.
		Monoskiers have a longer way in the slalom-course than the motorboat (cable), therefore between the buoys very high speeds with extreme slanting positions are reached, an incredible feeling with incredible pictures.
		Concave means the longish, egg-shaped identation along the edges at the underside of the monoski, where the water flowes through.

	Blackburne MonoSkis - History
		MonoSkis had considerable success in the 1980s, particularly in France. Indeed tens of thousands of MonoSkis were sold annually in Europe during this period.
		For some reason, the two manufacturers of Monoskis did not change the shape of their monoskis, which had no side-cut, but instead followed the trend by going into the snowboard business. They had such success with snowboards that they allowed the straight edge monoski to die a natural death and discontinued promoting it.
		In the mean time a number of dedicated and impassioned monoskiers continued to enjoy the sport and a few, including Robin Blackburne, sought to develop new monoski technology.

		Maybe the only downside for a middle-aged monoskier is that the darned thing stands stone still on flat surfaces, like catwalks, and lift lines.
		One of the rewards of middle age is having two strong strapping sons to haul heavy boxes to the attic and carry the suitcases on family trips.
		The best thing about the monoski is that the places I like to go -- the places where the monoski works the best -- are steep and bumpy slopes where I’m lucky to see anyone much more than half my age.

		I doubt there is anyone out there who has more years of monoskiing than I. I've learned the hard way what works and doesn't when it comes to monoski construction, breaking many skis and forking out big time for repairs.
		The result: the first monoski to use advanced technology such as a parabolic side-cut, a wood core combined with carbon fiber (talk about strength!) as well as being a capped ski for torsional rigidity.
		The result is a strong, snappy monoski that carves and performs great in all conditions.

		It was like a cross between a snowboard and a monoski with some waterski DNA as well, and he carved turns with unbelievable body layout, chest brushing the snow.

		September 23rd, 2007, 07:20 AM the monoski is still synonomous with "that thing gay people ski on" in a lot of pple's minds.
		I think by that time in the early 80s Monoskis were a lot cooler and had quite large advantages over skis and snowboards (for which you couldn't even get anything like boots or bindings similar to what is used now).
