While cleaning my garage in preparation for moving, I found a pair of Harb Carvers that have been unused for many years. I only used them 2 or 3 times, they are still in excellent condition. For those unfamiliar, and that would include all who are not students of PMTS, Harald Harb developed these for summer training and developing his tipping ski technique. And, no, you do not just tip 20%;)

They are in excellent condition, the rollers still have the center material from the moulding process

I'm thinking $125 shipped
I would rather sell them in Pugski

Here is some YouTube video of "not me"

@Brian Finch , Just curious, are you going to use these or are they for the curio cabinet? They look interesting, are the little wheels on the front to allow weight change?

The small wheels in the front function the same a front wheels on roller skates and permit balanced fore/aft weight. The weight change is 100% Harb basic technique: put weight on the outside rollers of the more uphill foot, and, tip the other knee toward the little toe edge, which will transfer balance and weight to the new downhill carver inside rollers ( or ski when on snow).

Here is an advanced training

Seems like you would need just the ideal pitch and surface to use them. Other than dodging traffic they look fun!

I should see if I can find an inexpensive pair on ebay.

Yeah what's up with playing in the road? Looking over a shoulder for traffic. Yikes.

I borrowed a pair of these from Harb a few years back. They are interesting for sure.

From when I picked them up. There is a story to go with it too.
