New Summer Sliding Slope Invented

[legalskier]

A new type of slope, described as a ‘creek surfing system’ has been launched by inventor Czintos Csongor. Named ‘Sineride,’ Mr Csongor believes that, “Truly this is the first real alternative of summer skiing.” *** “I understood that the essence of skiing is the possibility of braking instead of sliding. To this end you don’t just need a slippery surface but a kind of medium that makes it possible.”
“Water is an obvious solution as it works perfectly for water-skiing but you must stop it flowing down the slope. How can you achieve that? By putting smaller obstacles on its way which are small enough to stop the water but still let the skier slide over them.” With Sineride therefore the skier carves down these small obstacles or ribs and the water held in place acts like a series of ‘small pools’ you can ski on as the ‘small pools’ are situated under each other, effectively creating a big slanting lake. ****

Now that's interesting!

Here's a video of how it works: http://www.czintos.eu/

I wonder if it could be made to run down a decent sized ski hill....

It does look like fun, but I think I'd rather just hit a water park/slide.
