I was just watching a X-Sport called, 'Ski Cycling' where you ride a bike that has skis instead of wheels. I was wondering how you brake on a steep decline with that?

Well JB apparently this has been around for 40 years! I admit I never heard of it till now. Here is a link on the retrofit for you bike it also talks about the activity a bit.

Here is what the site had to say about stopping.

QUOTE
How do you stop? The same way you stop on skis or a snowboard; you either turn sideways across the hill, or you skid it sideways -hockey stop style. You can also control your speed or stop by simply putting your feet down -Fred Flintstone style.


I just bet one takes some hard falls perfecting the stop.

40 years is a long time, especially when it is highlighted as though it is so very modern on X-games. I appreciate the clarification on stopping, however I would think that since you are sitting that a better breaking method would be needed as you have less control?
