End of season

[Luke The Drifter]

1) Radios are a must and a total life saver
2) Avalanche training is worth EVERY penny even if your field day is -26*C and you get to stand around all day
3) Showing guys that are new to mountain sledding that you don't need a turbo to go places, work on riding skill first IMO (I took a guy's Nytro and cut a line through some trees that opened his eyes up to the idea that skill works well too, doesn't cost as much either LOL)
4) Nytros although gutless on the top end (stock) are really easy to throw around
5)My Supreme Tool 11" secondary rocks when dialed
6) Lightweight hoods, although cool, aren't practical for the pull and go rider
7) My M7's rear skid needs upgrading
8) Fuel is expensive
9) Sweat pants, hoodies, and hats embossed with a model of sled (Nytro, RMK, M Series, XP etc etc) seem to be the fashion of a lot of Albertans
10) Enclosed trailers are cool
11) Zip ties fix everything...
12) I met some awesome people from the forum and hope to ride with them again!

Alright, i got another one..or two..whatever..

3.) You can say all you want about your sled and how "mod out" it is on the 'puter. Moment of truth starts when you pick your line at the bottom of the hill.

4.) Talking big doesn't mean you ride like it.

5.) Riding a big sled doesnt mean you are the top dog.

6.) non boosted RX-1 Mtns are actually fun to ride...............Yup!

 

[Kong]

you can change from the baddest thing on the mountain to a little girl just by changing riding groups!

Brilliant!

I third that!! Definate shrinkage.

 

[graveler]

your XP riding friends are broke after buying an XP

they wont tell you how many XP belts they have used this month??

the XP will not be coming out under its own power ever!!!!!

no one has a rope to pull the XP out!!!

no one wants to pay to have the Heli take it out "again"

your XP friends want to borrow your extra M-sled cause there XP is in the shop

gas is cheap compared to maintaining an XP



!

I learned that Graveler where's a NMFH!

 

[Makaveli_Rev]

Things i learned this year...
SledHead can end a guys season real fast just missen with ya bro!
You can carve an xp!!
XP's make a great for towing out my dragon (3 times!!)
Tri-city is making bank! Atleast from me they are
900 RMK's are actually a decent sled when set up right
Rk-Tek drop in kit is a must for all 800r engines. M1000 Slayer!
There are a whole lot more turbo's spoolin up on the mountain!!
Some funny guys teamed up and took down my reputation on here
Other than than, its been fun, Peace!

Must have been the Polaris boys when you jumped on their post with your XP comments. I saw that one coming. I still can't believe we totalled 2 sleds with no real serious personal injuries. At least you found an XP. I had to finish my season on an XLT with 5600 miles on it. Yuck.

 

[phatty]

1. Turbos are FUN!
2. California Snow is Icy
3. Chicks can actually be dudes with d!cks (long funny story and not mine either)
4. Sledding is more about who your riding with and the people they are then sledding itself
5. 700" of snow means powder from november to june.
6. Sledding is great therapy to forget about life for a few hours. I wouldnt have made it through this year without some of the best powder days ever.
7. Shred the Gnar!
8. I cant wait to do it again next year!

[sledhead ut]

Isn't that the truth

"Sledding is great therapy to forget about life for a few hours. I wouldnt have made it through this year without some of the best powder days ever".

Amen Phatty.

 

[Motley Doo]

What I learned.....
1. Sledding for spring break is sooooo much better than So. Cal.!!!!!
2. Rebuild your motor BEFORE it grenades, typically pistons and bearings are cheaper than cranks and cases!
3. Windshields are worth the $90.
And finally, If there are three people already stuck on a hill, you should MOST LIKELY TURN OUT, but hey, who wants to look like the pansy who didn't try it!!!

 

[Wheel House Motorsports]

1.reliable sleds are nice
2.dont tinker
3.when tinkering have a backup sled
4.rider ability is where its at
5.riding over the hood powder before prom was way better than prom
6.riding in june was just silly
7.snowflaps actually do something
8.dont cut of the back of your REV's seat, it looks dumb
9.try things that look hard, that way you get better
10. if it looks way to steep or narrow to climb, GO FOR IT.

 

[HUNDO]

1. Go big on deep powder days, not hardpack.
2. No matter how much extra gas I bring, I'll be out first.
3. If you have a technical Polaris question, ask Mountainhorse.
4. Polaris 900's aren't near as bad as people say.
5. This is a great site with some great people but for God's sake, lay off the politics.
6. Insure your sled, then ride it like a rental
7. I need more money
