What happened to him?

Thats sick though. I like it when people who no longer ski normally pick up sitskiing.

I'm not too familiar with sit ski setups, but aren't most of them one, fat ski and not a twin setup like Riley's here? Any expert opinions which is the new and better option?

i think it has alot to do with balance, someone who has been in a skit ski for a long time needs only one ski. but someone who is starting and might not have the balance figured out so i imagine it helps with the stability of the whole rig

I'm pretty sure he dove into a shallow pool head first, and I'm pretty sure he was drunk too.

Its called a bi-ski. They are much easier than a mono-ski. Riley's brake might be too high to use a mono-ski. It requires lots of core strength to use a mono-ski. Riley's brake might be above that or maybe he is just learning. With a bi-ski all you have to do is lean and you carve a perfect turn. With fixed outriggers people who can only move their heads can go out on a bi-ski. They just need someone to ski behind them with tethers to help control speed.
