Abstract: Sports apparatus having a variably tilting platform providing a continuously sloping surface. The platform is mounted to permit tilting in a plurality of planes. An actuating mechanism for tilting the platform includes at least two actuators and a fixed pivot or at least three actuators. The actuators may comprise rams or a crank mechanism. The actuators operate simultaneously and sequentially to cause a progressive and circulatory movement of the highest point of the tilting platform around the periphery of the platform. The sloping surface of the platform can be used for such sports activities as skiing, skateboarding and even hang gliding.
