Carnage at Lost Lake

The day was going good. We found some good snow down in the rollers next to the lake. I had been playing on a hill when I spotted a nice drop at the top of the hill. At the same time my cousin spotted an up hill jump in the middle of the hill. He thought that I was going to go up and over the hill like I did on my previous climb. Anyways I hit the drop and on my ride out I saw a sled out of the corner of my eye falling from out of the sky. I was able to bail at the last second and heard the painful sound of crumpling plastic and metal. I'm just glad no one got hurt. I was able to limp the sled out with the clutch cover and half my cowling strapped to my backpack and sitting on my side panel. I did blow a belt on the way out but that was expected since the cluthes are so out of alignment. What realy sucks is that I finally had the sled dialed in. I do have insurance and we'll see what happens on Monday. Be safe fellas.

Oh man! I feel for you Double L. Glad to hear that you saw each other at the last minute and nobdy got hurt. That looks ugly. I take it you fibally got your clutching figured out? Well at least you will know how to setup the replacement on. That looks like it may be a total. We had a ball up there today. Sure was blown into contrete out in the open though. We were deep in the trees and found nice snow.

Yea I think it may be totaled also, the secondary is pushed a couple of inches towards the chaincase side. The tunell is also bent down a few inches as well as the cosmetic damage, I dont think there is a usable piece if plastic on it. The chaincase pushed my can out of the exhaust hole and ended up melting the last piece of plastic that I thought I could save. Still havent looked it over entirely, I was pretty pisst off most of today and didn't want to deal with it. I may be out of comish fo awhile. How was the trail ultra, it was pretty F'd on our way out yesterday? The bob sled run was in full effect on my way out which was actually put a smile on my face, one last adrenaline rush. Most people were using the switchback for the way up and down. Peace

On the way to Fireman's, we changed our minds after hearing what it was like yesterday. Went Primrose instead as much as I hate it. No ice and with more more snow than there is the moguls weren't over a foot deep! Ran right up and down at the fastest pace I think we've ever run that trail. Again, sorry about your new sled, I would be angry right now as well, but you will soon be thankful that it was just the sleds.

I think you may have done this on purpose, so you wouldn’t have to deal with getting shown up by the D8.........if I EVER get it back :D

If they total it I may have to get an asssssssualt, make the switch back to the dark side. At least thet way I'd have spare plugs for you when you foul them every other mile. Hope you got over your vicious fever that kept you from going with us....wuss. J/K nothin but love nieghbor.
