Anyone on here remember the short Scorpion ski, late 70's early 80's - I
seem to recall quite a lot of hype over them when launced, but want to know
what they were primarily designed for.
Skorpion with a 'k', IIRC, but I may be wrong.
They were designed for fun. Total waste of time really, but these fads
come and go.
Who else remembers those little ski-bikes you sat on?
They're still going strong, in various guises. The oldest, and I
suppose original, are the patented ones they use (only) in
Grindelwald. e.g.
