Good luck Mike! Nice to see you here! Ha, you beat me to it @Jack M This picture was taken last week at Waterville Valley. I'd love to see a video of someone riding this thing and having fully tilted over, to see how it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So forget about Kessler skis for now, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuxdiesel Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 I have a few older skis that I would love to try this on, but I am betting that it won't be cheap. Nor should it be if it is well built and well engineered, but I'm guessing it has limited appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortcutToMoncton Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 First off, I love this type of crazy idea, and that someone went out and made it. That’s just awesome. Second…why and how is this a better idea than an actual snowboard? It’s not like this is a splitboard someone can use for backcountry purposes—this is a dedicated, on-piste contraption, right? The user would still need ski bindings, boots, and a place to put the plate when converted? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordmetroland Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 If I squint really hard, I can envision a day when someone melds the two independent skis into a single ski, a "board" if you will, that can be used in much the same way. The current technological hurdles are too high to overcome now, but in the future, that day will come. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 3 piece splits have been around for awhile, but nothing carve specific https://www.splitboard-power.fr/en/categorie-produit/splitboard-en/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) I rode the "L.L.Bean" Kildy flex back to back with the Madd bx. The Madd was lighter more nimble and carved better but to be fair the the flex plate on the Kildy gave the soft board under it some serius edge hold. the Bean in action Edited February 21, 2023 by b0ardski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Kildevaeld Posted September 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Hello everyone! It is currently being made as we speak should be completed by November 2023 for sale the price is in a range of $1000 to $1500 not sure at this time. I have tried many skis I do have a favorite for sure. You can follow skiing and see what skis do well, it is pretty easy many to choose from all of them good. Here is a link to a short video. I do not have any other videos at this time. But for those wondering about POWDER wow is this the best thing I have ever ridden in powder, and I mean this. I did not think this would be the case, so prior to USASA nationals I had to try in case Colorado had powder I had 10 inches fall at Waterville Vally and I could not believe it. Trust me I hate powder because of what I ride on my whole life this board has two sidewalls connected with a plate it does not sink when sideways in a turn it is incredible it will be the high light of the board no question and I love racing still trust me. My first T-Shirt ever was for Ride Snowboards it said "POWDER SUCKS" that was easy. I will make a 22 cm wide so powder skis and soft boots work, coming next, but alpine boots work great on powder skis not a problem. I will upload some pics of this set up being played with in my head, oops how to upload photo from phone ???? Okay here is link to short ALPINE video I want to remind all I am 57 years old so please.... ONESKI - How to turn your skis into the best carving Snowboards. - YouTube I will do my best to respond to questions. And yes the lift lines are crazy conversations. I ride Waterville Valley most I have a seasons pass and I have the Epic pass so I will travel going to the Killington Womens SKI WC around Thanksgiving if anyone wants to see it live. Someone asked about the ability to slide yes it has two separate slide points the magnesium plate itself slide and so does the mounting plates that attach to the ski. Also, it has the ability to have asymmetrical slide which is unreal made me cry lol when testing. (no joke) New website soon. The slides are red on top you can see in photo and the bottom plates you can choose where to lock and where to slide current photo shows a regular foot setup but just switch stuff around and it is goofy it might seem tricky at first, but it is really easy.

Mike Kildevaeld Posted September 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 I just wanted to update the Jerry of the day photo Trappy sent this to me while I was at USASA Nationals cracked me up not sure how it ended up but this is funny Dad more like grand pa to those youngsters. Powder set up below also. This was my day at the shop recently figuring out a good powder set up either soft or hard boots will work. Just found these skis, they are powder and carving race style skis look into them perfect setup lots of sidecut and wide. Obviously need to picture a plate here.

SunSurfer Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 @mike kildevaeldIf you are serious about trying to convert alpine boarders then you will need to create videos showing better carving performance before I personally would even begin to entertain the idea of a OneSki. And no allowance made made for your age, I'm 64 and can make my Coiler Contra 2023 alpine board carve better than you show in the linked OneSki video above.

Alan Mckenzie you sound like a really good snowboarder. If you thought that my carving was bad you should see me ride a Coiler Contra 2023. I have never said I was a good carver I can't wait to have videos of people as good as you riding it, I will certainly post it on my website. Please if you try my plate send me a video of it, maybe we sponsor you and you could represent New Zealand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This patent did run out I can tell.... But notice he stands like a mono ski ever been called that when doing your alpine riding? I have, it is pretty funny stuff. I do have a patent coming soon and I have applied for PCT which than soon we have to choose the countries to be protect it in. (All Ski Countries Obviously). ONESKI patent is a "Method" Patent it is different and much more difficult to get. description of Method Patent COPY PASTE. A business method patent is a type of utility patent that protects a process rather than a physical object. It has proved especially useful ... In other words, I patented the process of converting skis to a snowboard, that is it. The above photo shows a pair of skis converted to a pair of skis. Ha Ha in a sense but certainly not standing sideways like a snowboarder. Look up rules in FIS for snowboarders' equipment they do not mention how many tips, tails or anything else they definitely use to. I got protested back in 1998 two months prior to Olympics, wow nightmare. I did overcome this protest with Olympic committee after countless videos and explaining. My board at the time was an Alpine board cut in middle to about 5 inches from tip. So, I just went back to a normal alpine board with a plate, it was not worth risking if I had lost protest and stayed on that board, I would have been screwed. So I switched boards to cover ass. I did win the protest which actually sucked, because I rode a board I did not want to for a month and then got injured one month prior to Olympics with a double sprained left ankle and could not ride at all, so now I had to ride the last board I had ridden which was a regular snowboard it was a rough month wondering if I could even snowboard again after winning the last world cup prior to Olympics.. Anyway wow still bothers me lol. Okay I am back... The rule back then was one tip no mention of tails because of split tails. Today no mention of tips, why no idea. They just say stand sideways and your feet cannot overlap so toes cannot overlap heals. Pretty basic rules much better. Anyway, I know you were just kidding but wanted to clear up some stuff anyway. I feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can picture a day when a motorcycle has one shock if I squint really hard.... but the hurdles are too great. It is funny for sure. If you can't see it, it is probably not for you. If you have a single board, I would love to try one. We can meet up and trade for a day. (But it was funny for sure). I have been noticing snowboarders really hate it and skiers really love it and I am fine with that... I also recall a day when skiers hated us snowboarders because we started a single board and invaded their space but eventually, we all got along, I thought. I was a ski racer long before a snowboard racer and I joined snowboarding with a smile bigger than my head, I raced two weeks later and was sponsored after the race by a company called Flite... Snowboarding is easy as hell to learn if you're a ski racer one run and you already are doing it. Just keep the ski pole for a while and you're ripping in no time. Now look at skiers they never came over, they just started their own half pipe, and boarder cross., Have you seen a WC ski race lately in Europe? LOL bigger than NFL I just want to open some eyes and trust me their eyes are wide open (skiers). If they try it, we have another alpine snowboarder or just a regular snowboarder.... Recall when all the talk was snowboarding will be bigger than skiing, lol look around. But again, it was a good joke, I mean it I did laugh.

Jack M Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 @Mike Kildevaeld thanks for the updates. Does the OneSki have an Allflex-style suspension mechanism? Seems like it would be a natural fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the OneSki have an Allflex-style suspension mechanism? Seems like it would be a natural fit. I am considering it. I did test a few last year, then I dropped it. Seems like skis are doing a nice job with controlling that STUFF inside the skis. So I will avoid it for now, skis just keep on getting better, so I kind of doubt it. I tested arms on the end like my Kildy flex back in the day but really no difference, if anything might have been worse off. Tough question to answer sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Fisher RC4 will be great and put to good use. What you look for is the sidecut on the skis. I will make the version for skiers to go ski and then go snowboard within 5 minutes soon. It is very simple to do I just made the race stuff first then; I will go backwards to powder and free riding versions like NASCAR right? Do the high tech first then tame it all down. You will like the RC4 side cut for the SL is 12 meter side cut.... perfect ripper, fast as hell you will feel it don't try to lay it over like eurocarving or whatever, I now call it loop turns same thing, just ride it tall and stay in control you will want to race all of a sudden.
