Abstract:
Provided herein is a training device configured to allow a user to simulate all of the balancing and turning movements of downhill snow skiing or snowboarding on dry, downhill surfaces. The device is equipped with a braking system that allows the user to slow down the speed of travel when the moving direction changes from forward to sideways, thereby simulating the act of slowing down on a slope by turning a ski or snowboard. The braking effect is further enhanced when the ski or snowboard is tilted towards the uphill direction, further simulating the actual movements of skiing or snowboarding on snow. The braking system may include one or more mechanisms to amplify the force applied to the brake cables. An optional steering bar may be provided with handles that are positioned ahead of the bar to simulate the planting of ski poles prior to or during a turn.

Claim (Index 85):
The training device of  claim 84 , further comprising a second gearbox disposed within the rear neck, the second gearbox comprising a second primary gear fixedly attached to the main shaft, a plurality of secondary gears, and a second output shaft, wherein the braking system further comprises:\n (iv) a rear brake scissor assembly fixedly attached to the rear fork and including a first rear brake arm and a second rear brake arm; (v) a first rear brake cable having a first end fixedly attached to the first rear brake arm and a second end fixedly attached to a second drum disposed on the second output shaft of the second gearbox and configured to rotate within the rear neck, wherein the first rear brake cable is movably disposed within a first rear rigid tube mounted to the rear fork and a first rear flexible tube disposed within the rear neck; and (vi) a second rear brake cable having a first end fixedly attached to the second rear brake arm and a second end fixedly attached to the second drum, wherein the second rear brake cable is movably disposed within a second rear tube mounted to the rear fork and a second rear flexible tube disposed within the rear neck, when a user tilts the footboard in either direction, the main shaft rotates the gears of the second gearbox and amplifies rotation of the first drum and the second drum causing tension to be applied to the first or second front brake cable and to the first or second rear brake cable, thereby urging the front brake scissor assembly to contact the front wheels and the rear brake scissor assembly to contact the rear wheels.
