ABSTRACT:
A pair of wheeled skate-skis, equipped with hand moved operating control cables to initiate bicycle wheel type caliper operated frictional braking pads contacting wheel rim sides to slow down and/or to stop, are provided for use by a sportsperson who enjoys skating-skiing on the level, going uphill, and/or coasting downhill. To further improve the sportsperson's control of his or her overall movement, while on these wheeled skate-skis, his or her sport shoes, are conveniently, removably, and securely, positioned on these wheeled skate-skis by wraparound binding portions, which during skating and skiing movements are held firmly in place by using "Velcro" or "Dual Lock" fasteners or like functional fasteners. The feet of the sportsperson are respectively supported on channel cross sectional shaped bodies, with the exterior of each web of each channel being upright and the flanges of each channel depending to position portions of the "Velcro" or "Dual Lock" fasteners and to receive the transverse fore and aft shafts, about which the fore and aft wheels rotate. Each wheel has an air inflated tube and tire, one and three-fourths inches wide and seven inches in diameter. Each channel has cutouts to respectively accommodate the wheels, while still extending around the wheels, thereby sustaining sufficient strength in the overall strength of the channel, serving as the supporting platform, housing, chassis, and/or body. Finger operated braking levers, used in moving the brake operational control cables are fitted to adjacently spaced upstanding rods that are received in the respective palms of the sportsperson's hands. "Velcro" wraparound straps securable to these depending palm receiving rods are looped about the sportsperson's hands or wrists during downhill travel, when braking actions are being undertaken, or operationally about belts or belt loops, during climbing and/or level travel.
