like a ski area or sledding hill. They are light weight, and make the
sled more compact. Swap them for wider Pro Carving Skis if you
ʼ
ll
be riding in more than 4" of snow or you like high performance
sledding. You
ʼ
ll find that the Pro Carving skis can be spun out (or
in car talk, over-steered) because they ride a bit higher and have
less tracking than the narrow skis. HAMMERHEAD skis have a
unique concave design and the
patented SWAP-SKI™ Quick
Removal System. You can also
lube the skis and runners with wax
for added speed. Check out the
web site for “Tips from the Pros”
and for other performance products
and upgrades.
Note that Pro Sled
skis are not interchangeable with Sport Sled rear skis.

Set up a race course!
Setting up a race course is easy and fun,
and with the HAMMERHEAD Race Accessories you
ʼ
ll find
everything you need to do it right: slalom cones, timer, snow
markers, walkie-talkies, score sheets, and more! Set up the course
in the back yard, or on your favorite sledding hill. See how you
stack up against the other sleds and sledders.
> Take it to the ski area! Be sure to bring along the safety leash
and get approval by showing the sled to the mountain operations
people. Show them it is controllable, attached to you and you can
stop it. Make sure you only
request lower (shallower)
trails. Let us know if we can
help and visit
for sled hill venues and ski
areas with access.

Specifications (and cool technology)
> Front
Skis
The front skis are specially designed to be lightweight yet
strong. They’re made of polycarbonate a plastic that has a high
molecular weight. What this means to you is the skis are fast,
strong, slick, and durable, even at super low temperatures. The
FRONT SKIS are designed with a sharp turning (Concave Skis)
bottom shape. The result is super glide, high resistance to wear,
and turning like no other sled. The front skis are also designed to
pivot up and down, which allows them to flow over bumps and
depressions. Like all of the HAMMERHEAD’s components, the
front skis are also easily changed out and can be swapped from
side to side to balance wear. They are quickly removed via nut
and bolt. Pro Sleds use a 6M x 35M stainless socket hex head
bolt and 6M locking nut for Bullet Skis. Newer Pro Sleds now use
the Double Bomb Ski, a double concave ski with greater
performance on bigger hills.
> Rear Skis
The REAR SKIS have a
patented quick on/off
(SWAP-SKI™) design for
varying snow conditions
including crusty, hard
pack and powder. These
skis utilize a faster, softer
high density polyethylene
(HDPE) material is fast and
light, and it can also be waxed for even better performance. To
remove just pull on the fore or aft tabs of the rear skis and pull
down off the ski tube rail. To re-attach, be sure to center the ski
on the tube (front to back) before re-attaching to assure proper fit.
If the ski has a big gap in the front or back,
re-install for proper snug fit on both ends.
Optional Ski Clips are available for harder
riding and when the skis are to be more
permanent.
> Frame
The aluminum 6063 T8 frame is strong and light. What’s more, its
1” diameter allows for the easy mounting of standard bike
components such as head-lights, taillights, mirrors, bells, horns,
