A Tribute to Randy Swenson

[Viper5]

I had the pleasure of meeting Randy in Revy last year, class act for sure. My kids were very excited to meet him and some of the other Thunderstruck crew.

Great post, Randy is a great role model for the sport. I have talked to him a few times over the years and he is always ready to help and has given me pointers on my sleds.

The pictures are awesome, but I saw the lines in person yesterday..... wow,,, Randy's gone mad,,,, CRAZY lines.. And then he pulled the SUPER CHUTE on TURTLE.. 2500 vert feet.. Brads line through the Rainy day chute was almost 2400 vert feet... great job Randy... cheers to Brad and Dave too..

 

[Nor-val]

The only people who don't appreciate Randy is probably our wives, because it has cost a lot of money since i first saw a turbo climb. LOL . I don't know what to say that other people haven't, but have always had an awesome time when riding or just hanging with the ambassador of Yamaha!

 

[Bucket!]

Those are some great pics and awsome riding!

Randy's rank as a person is as high as his ranking as a rider. If you have seen him ride you know how high that rating is. 1st class dude all the way !

 

[HYFLYR]

Never had the honor of meeting with Randy but have shared quite a few pm's with him, always helpful and standup guy. Hope to ride with him in the future. Sick pulls for sure.

 

[IRONMAN]

without doubt randy is one of the top riders in our sport, when it comes to riding in the mountains he is tops, period. As humble as they come and always a smile on his face. Sometimes seems like the old bull sitting at the bottom on certain days, then he will go pull lines only he can pull. Can learn alot just watchin, top rider, top person, and he can drink his fair share too!! LOL Cheers fuji.

 

[I Dare Ya Rene!]

One of the nicest guys I have ever met on the mountain and one of the best
climbers I have ever seen. I know he has been the proponent of many riders addiction to turbo power! RS

 

[Twisted Boost]

Thanks for the great and awesome pic's look forward to meeting him in person... Job well done and that takes some BIG BALLS.. Nice job.... That line is sick.....

 

[Work - Never]

Awsome line from one of the best riders I've ever seen.

I was wondering if he was on a Dragon, M8 or Skidoo when he made that pull in the last picture? I know it was'ent his Nytro cause we've all learned on this site you can't do anything on a 4 stroke but point and shoot..... LOL

 

[snow_knight]

WOW.. amazing pics.. and even better skills..


Hopefully I will have the privilege to be around and witness such a class act and an epic riding..

on me

Randy was on his APEX when he pulled that line!!! LOL

Randy also just one-upped this line BIG-TIME! Swenson, Story, Davidoff and Stanger took off on a ride that included 5 first ascents and one climb with over 2500 feet of pure vertical!! Pictures to come soon!

Come on Jim who are you trying to fool, you know an Apex can't carve a line like that. They can only go straight remember??? point & shoot. LOL.

I think I'll buy some Yamaha stock today cause now that we know you can turn one of these HEAVY PIGS everybody is going to want one. LOL:

I'm not a big film watcher cause I'm a player not a sit on the sidelines and watch kind of guy. In past years I have'nt seen much that I would'nt do myself, but looking at some of the previews from riding this year these guys are throwing down some stuff that is taking riding places it's never gone before and I'm looking forward to watching it.

Keep up the good work.

 

[Lets Rip]

WOW that is a SICK SICK pull!!!! Man thats some great camera work!!!

 

[Climbmax]

Thanks a million
