Abstract

The present invention is directed to a ski boot accessory. The ski boot accessory may include a base member and a bar member attachable to the base member. The base member may be mounted to a ski boot. Further, the bar member may be shaped and oriented such that the bar member deflects slalom gates away from a skier's legs and / or body. Furthermore, the ski boot accessory may be made of plastic material, an alloy, and the like.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 151,187, filed Jun. 1, 2011 which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 350,091, filed Jun. 1, 2010.[0002]Each of the above applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND[0003]1. Field[0004]The present invention relates to ski boot accessories, and more specifically, to a boot bar for a ski boot.[0005]2. Description of the Related Art[0006]Various types of skiing may be performed, such as alpine skiing, freestyle skiing, Nordic skiing, and the like. Alpine skiing involves gates that are mounted at short distances from one another. During a competition, a ski-racer is required to ski between the gates, thereby taking quicker and shorter turns. Generally, the ski-racer takes an inward lean and uses cross-blocking technique to draw his body's center of gravity closer to a fall line. Owing to the inward lean, the ...
