Default Ski Kit for ATV

Since these ski kits bolt right to the hub of the front wheels.............................

what keeps the ski from spinning around?

I dont really have to strap my front brake lever down do I?

That doesnt seems safe...

and dont the skis have to pivot a bit?

Snowmobile skis don't spin and these don't either because they're flat, not round like a wheel. As long as it's not in 4x4 you're okay. Oh yeah, they pivot on the hub too.

well I meant like if I grabbed a wheelie (skiie?)

or got some air, what would keep it from tipping up or down and causing some major **** when I land!

I talked to the company that makes the kit..

they said either grab the brakes,

zip tie the brakes lever down

or bungee cord the ski loops to the bumper


what do yall think

I think gravity will keep the big heavy part down but a bungee on the front and back would be a good idea if you plan on leaving the ground. And remember if you jump it you won't have as much give on the front suspension since low pressure tires ARE part of the suspension system. Skis won't give like that and absorb the bumps.
