Running across the "Federation Internationale de Skibob" website was very confusing for me. A) I don't know German, B) clicking their "English" button does nothing, and C) there's a skibike World Championship?The sport has apparently been around for a while: the first race was held in 1954 and the first World Championship happened in 1964. Here's some more historical evidence:
Europe still takes this sport seriously, while the US of A has reduced its involvement to a couple of skibike festivals. Colorado's Purgatory Skibike Meet is in the Durango Mountain Resort (Feb 25-27, 2011), and Oregon's Spring Fling takes place on Hoodoo Mountain (April 2-3, 2011).See if there's a skibike-friendly resort near you.
