For skating aficionados, getting equipment that is suitable for skating in the snow is not easy. Most of the common equipment that boasts the feature usually comes with an intolerable shortcoming. Sled Dogs has announced the development of snowskates that would give you the ultimate ‘skating in the snow’ experience. Resulting from years of research and development, the Sled Dogs Snowskates is the most advanced hybrid of ski boots and snowboards you’ll ever see.
Design and features
Steel edges
The snowskate features steel edges that ensure maximum grip at high speeds and on the roughest terrains. The liner is comfortable and the design accommodates high ankle support. All these factors combine to ensure a firm yet comfortable grip anytime you set out in the snow.
Proprietary hardflex system
Unlike any other snowskate, this beauty from Sled Dogs comes with a patented hardflex system. The system is optimally designed to promote flexibility at the core areas of the skate. When the terrain speed demands advanced maneuverability, the proprietary hardflex system also comes in handy. You’ll enjoy the maximum range of movement while skating in free mode or while performing your tricks and flicks.
Portable design
One of the major issues people have with traditional skis is the bulkiness. Carrying skis around is inconvenient, to say the least, and some of them could be very heavy. The Sled Dogs: Alpine Skates for the Slopes is designed to be lightweight and extremely portable. It’s no larger than your Timberland boots and can be easily fitted into a standard skater’s backpack.
Easy to use
Learning skating is more fun with the easy to use Sled Dog Snowskate. Professional ski and snowboard coaches have endorsed the snowskate as a great learning tool. If you have prior skating experience, you’ll seamlessly adapt to enjoying your favorite sport with these snowskates. There’s even an online course that could help you learn how to skate on snow using the Sled Dog Snowskate.
Diverse options
The Sled Dog Snowskates come in four different options depending on your skill level. The available types are:
- Halden: for beginners and youth
- Lunde: for beginner and intermediate riders, popular among the ladies
- Hygen: for intermediate and advanced riders
- K9.02: maximum speed and performance for the true mad dogs.
Tested and trusted snowskates
The Sled Dogs snowskates have received positive support of the Broader Professional Hockey, Figure, Inline Skate community. Many players swapped their ice rink for the ski slope with Sled Dogs Snowskates and the result was simply amazing. As stated by a certified coach, the Sled Dog Snowskates experience and environment could help the players improve their fitness level, technique, and stride.
Pricing info
If you’re looking to buy the Sled Dog Snowskates, the project is currently at the crowdfunding stage and in need of backers. You can check out the Indiegogo page for the pledges and rewards. The next batch of shipping is expected to arrive just in time for the winter.
Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
