Havent you guys heard? Your only allowed to talk about chute pulling around here. Drag racing is uncool.....
(And from another one of his posts)
snowmobiling is more than just hillclimbing and chute pulling. In fact the kind of climbing you are talking about constitutes probably less than 2or3% of all snowmobiling as a sport. Are snowcrossers not cool cause they ride sleds that wont climb? Whatabout freestylers? For some reason the big chute pullers love to talk down to those who like to go fast. I say ride how you want and let others do what they want.
I went to BIS once and raced the drag. There were 5000 people there and about 20 of them were climbing the big hills. Some of these hills were scary and some not so scary, but what was scary was the thought of wadding up in front of 5000 people. I sat there and watched all of these big shot riders stare at the mountain same as me. I went there to win a drag cause I like fast sleds, I wish I woulda made a pull or two or put someone on the Trex to show people it would have climbed to the moon but I was content to just be there at the time. Everyone says I built my sled to drag race but what they dont realize is that other than the track it is built to climb. No one can tell me one aspect of my sled that doesnt lend itself to climbing other than the 2.25x159 finger which actually isnt a bad mtn track.
As one sledder likes chutes, another likes trails, another likes boondocking, another like cornice drops, another like big hp, another like lake racing..... it all beats a day at the office.
