Okay, maybe you can't afford a new Porsche right now. Well, not a car, anyway. Via UnCrate comes a Porsche powered by gravity instead of fossil fuels. The legendary German automaker offers a sleek sled with an aluminum frame and stainless steel runners that's almost as pretty too look at as it is fun to ride. The smart, foldable design has no moving parts and comes, of course, festooned with the Porsche logo. What's the point of having a Porsche, after all, if no one knows you've got it?
The Mad River Rocket is a kneeboard; ridden while kneeling for better sight lines and more control. A nylon lap belt holds the sled comfortably under the sledder, freeing both hands for steering, while thick foam knee pads cushion a rider’s knees from bumps and landings. Even off small jumps, these sleds have no problem doing flips, barrel-rolls and 360's. The manufacturer recommends not sledding in less than 3-inches of soft powder, so you know that the ride must be radical.
The Hammerhead Sled, using the principles that made Herman Miller's Aeron chair a touchstone of design, uses an ergonomically designed chassis to form an extension of your body. Weighing just nine pounds, the Hammerhead has a precision-engineered aluminum frame with a patented steering mechanism and features a suspension fabric seating that helps even novice riders dominate rugged terrain. Almost as awesome, the sled frame is constructed to a standard bicycle tube size that lets most bike components snap on in seconds. This means the Hammerhead can easily be tricked out with headlights, mirrors, a back-rest, a cargo net or whatever else you heart desires. Here's a sled's eye view of the Hammerhead doing what does best. Go faster.
