by G. Kunkel Brenter Snowbike, an Austrian skibob manufacturer, put together a short, precise, instructional video.  In the video they cover all the basics one needs to know when hitting the slopes. Skibobbing really is this easy to learn.  I still recommend a short lesson when attempting for the first time.  Most resorts require lessons before they can be rented. The video

by G. Kunkel The best way to learn a new sport is to use movements that one already knows.  The same is true when learning to skibike. After five seasons of teaching pegs, I think I have a handle on this.  Lessons I've taught this current season really hammer home this theory. People with experience motorcycle dirt biking and downhill mountain biking pick things up the quickest.

by G. Kunkel One of the biggest challenges to a first time peg skibiker is producing a skidded traverse.  One must tilt the handlebars downhill so the skis will have a low edge angle to the snow.  It's counter-intuitive to how one would normally ride a bicycle. Most first timers want to lean into the hill which gets the skis up on a carve.  The rider will then find themselves

by G. Kunkel Patrick Neelan, the USA distributor for Stalmach skibobs, visited Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort in New Mexico, USA during the annual skibike festival there.  While there, he held a skibob instructional clinic for the staff. While this video is meant for the Sipapu staff, one can still pick up some basic techniques - how to fit the foot-skis to ski boots, loading/unloading from

by G. Kunkel Short foot skis are used in conjunction with skibobs.  They make chairlift unloading easy and act as balance outriggers while skibiking. There are several types of bindings that can be used for attaching boots to the skibike foot skis.  Skibobbers have traditionally used skiboots since they were readily available. Skibobbers can now buy and use snowboard boots and

After a careful search, I've come to realize that there are no skibike instruction blogs on the internet.  As skibiking is really taking off in the USA, that has to change. Skibob style skibikes have been around for ages and most anyone can learn to ride one comfortably with about 20 minutes of riding instruction.  One needs to learn how to load and unload from the lift with the
