Tracto-skiing: a little known sport!
You like the 'rush' of extreme sports? You've tried parachuting, bungee-jumping, climbing glaciers? But you haven't lived until you've experienced tracto-skiing. Know what it is? Tracto-skiing began in Sourray in France during the 1950s, and is now making a big comeback. Yes, you really do ski behind a tractor. Find out more from the sport's inventors, check out their site and enjoy the fun video 'demonstration', download screensavers, chat with practitioners of the sport. Competitions are being planned... who knows, an Olympic event soon? http://tractoski.online.fr/ |
(Not recommended during muckspraying season)
(no corny jokes please...)

One definite plus for this sport is you won't find any boarders sitting in the middle of the piste over the brow of a hill. Not for long anyway.....

We were VW Golf-skiing back in the mid '80...
Does that count as extreme sport?
