Snowhopper. Ski Patrol Beetle!

[SFC K]

Thanks for reviving this so those that missed it can see this!


Love the work you put into the Ski Patrol!

Thanks guys! I've still never run it. I had thought about running it in sand, but it would be horribly messy. Maybe one day it will snow in Long Beach

I think I have the parts left over to build a runner with this same suspension set up. It could be cool for a street version:

Teman, got a link to the vid? I gotta check that out!

It was fun driving it, I just had to replace all the screws that rusted up after the fact

ah man I forgot about that! I wonder if it will make it into a print version too? or is it just on the website?

It hit the mags. I don't have in front of me but I think it made a cover shot too.

That is too cool, I have the issue, its not on the cover but it did grace the readers rides. Nice job!
