good on ya Graeme!

Some of you may remember former Capital Blokart Club member Graeme Harris who emigrated to Canada.

He has been experimenting...

From Graeme

Have a look at my experiment, we have ice but we get a lot of snow! I am getting blokart withdrawals and need a ride. So I will try to solve this problem like most Kiwis do, find a solution!! My first test will be this weekend. Will let you know how it go's.

The ski's work, will post a vid on you-tube when I can transfer video on to computer, Matt from Blokart's said someone else has had a go a couple of weeks ago, 'I want some proof !'

I will have to get some longer and fatter ski's to go faster, had a problem with too much forward weight on the front ski, so I sat on the back of the seat - it made a big difference, I also took the two kids across the lake for a ride. I broke my back pulley stick thingy, luckily I have two!!

I need a supplier near here.

And to stop the kart from sliding sideways I cut through the middle of the ski and pushed the blokart ice blade through, it works like a keel and turns very well, getting it up on two ski's is a bit scary, as the weight of the ski tips forward, had to keep my foot on the back of the ski to keep the tip up.

I hope to get the next experiment up an running soon, so will keep in touch.

Graeme.
