Abstract:
A sled, comprising:a frame;a support platform interconnected to said frame for holding an object;a first and a second ski;a first steering means interconnected to said frame on a first end and to an upper surface of said first ski at a second end at a position proximate to a midpoint of said first ski;a second steering means interconnected to said frame on a first end and to an upper surface of said second ski at a second end at a position proximate to a midpoint of said second ski;a first control input means interconnected to said first steering means, wherein said first control input means is movable within a first plane; anda second control input means interconnected to said second steering means, wherein said second input means is movable within a second plane, wherein when a force is applied to one of said steering means from actuating one of said control input means by moving said one of said control input means within a corresponding one of said first or second planes, a corresponding one of said skis makes three separate but simultaneous motions, including rotation in a plane substantially parallel to that of the ground, rotation about the longitudinal axis of the ski, and movement downward in relation to the position of said frame.
