Seagren does hold the world indoor record of 17 ft. 2 in. But he has equaled and beaten that mark in competition this winter-and neither of those leaps will ever be noted in the record book.

Says a Canadian doctor: "When I go out in the winter I exercise myself, not a machine." Many resorts now ban them from the regular ski runs because hot-rodders lacerate the slopes, menace skiers, and make too much noise.
