Stopping a skibob is the same as stopping on a pair of skis. For a fast stop, you turn and slide it sideways and allow the ski edges to dig. For a slow stop, you merely turn uphill and allow gravity to do it's thing. Skibobs have a very tight turning radius. In Europe, they are raced in both slalom and giant slalom events with the gates being about the same distance apart, as they would be for a ski race.
Skibobs are VERY EASY to learn to ride.
In a day or two at the hill, you will be leaving the beginner runs and looking for more challenging runs. If you can ride a bike, you can ride a Skibob. However, lessons are highly recommended for beginners. If you have any questions about our product or the sport of skibobing, or if we can be of help in any way, please don't hesitate to call.
