HEY! We told you not to Laugh.
The TeleManiac (patent pending) is a training device for Telemark skiers as well as aspiring telemark skiers. And YES, people still tele (Still Telemarking, huh?)
I mean what could possibly go wrong when doing squats in Telemark gear while balancing on a Telemaniac?
From the Official Website TeleManiac
THE TELEMANIAC IS A SERIOUS WORKOUT FOR SERIOUS SKIERS
Added weight (in a backpack or a weight vest) replicates the g-force load of different terrain:
- Bodyweight + 5%-8% = Green Terrain
- Bodyweight + 8%-10% = Blue Terrain
- Bodyweight + 10%-12% = Black Terrain
- Bodyweight + 15% or more = Extreme Steepness
Get Chuck Norris selling this thing and I would buy 5!
i only tele on extreme steepness
Nobody cares.
Why the hell does it cost so much….
So they can afford to pay for the actor and video production.
Forget lunges at the gym, spend $800 to look like a total douche!
still fucking cooler than those shit eating park rats
Televate your mind, body will follow.
I am a TeleManiac. It sits right next to my StairStepper. All I gotta do is load up some POV from last season, televise it, and get my groove on. It’s like teleporting back to winter.
Do you use POV footage of stairs when you use the StairStepper too…?
I think that could really build your legs for downhill skiing
I just tele 15% overweight so I ride extreme no matter the circumstance, no need for pesky contraptions
That guy must be training for Alaska
That doesn’t seem like it would work quite as well as our elipitical – for hanging drying laundry.
I’ve got a bitchin’ set of rollers for riding, I wonder if they would work… oh, I don’t telly. Nevermind.
I dont know about you guys, but I’m laughing
I just anagrammed “tele-maniac model and sound track” into “super-duper gay for pay.”
Shake Weight included with purchase
Who knew gyms required ski leashes too…..
The bong seems to be missing….
Dude – Just do heavy back squats instead of all the dumb “sport specific stuff” above.
I can think of hundreds of exercises that strengthen legs for free.
Half a binding, half a brain. No one cares that you tele. What does a tele skier say when he runs out of weed? “These bindings SUCK “
Chimney skiers: Try Bodyweight + 25% or more
There is nothing wrong with teleing that locking the heel down can’t fix!
Willie, getting fat and lazy sitting in an overstuffed pilot’s seat is no excuse for not being able to tele
But seriously, $800 for a bunch of rollers, some rod, and some plate, total overkill. Just get some parts from a trashed assembly line (GM, Ford) and you’d be ready for the gnar come Xmas.
you think he apres’s with the bar and 45′s too?
Those are bumper plates and a lady’s bar, brah. 55lbs total. Do you even lift?
haha pretty funny – why not just get out there and ski mate!
Thank christ that guy has his safety leashes attached; you never know when you’re going to take a tumble on the yellow roller gnar-gnar.
I could make that thing so easy for under a hundred bucks
skateboard bearings.
rolling pins.
yellow paint.
dow rods.
make the frame out of wood or piping.
All you need is a mirror and you can finely-tune your tele-poses. You guys may be slow, but you look soooo good when we pass you.
Other than the price, it actually looks like fun. I love to tele and alpine both. I gotta tell you, I am NEVER in primo shape to start the season. That’s what winter is for.
I always knew it was supressed homosexual tendencies that made people make fun of telemarkers, but that thing’s just plain gay.
why do you have to use the word homosexual and gay as something that is negative? those comments are very hurtful to some people that don’t even have anything to do with the telemaniac. Its just being plain disrespectful kaykaykay.
at least he’s wearing releasables
