From Russian Sledders New Short Teaser

[realbass]

Looks awesome. Makes sense, Russia is not really known for steep mountains (im sure you got heaps) but looks like there are lots of nice open areas and trees for boondocking!!

Some picts about Russian mountines...
(at a distance from my house is 400miles )
altitude is 5000-7000ft

You mentioned $16000 for a new sled in an earlier post, is that $US or RUB's?

Of course is $16000 USD. (Pro Rmk)
$14000 US - Rmk (400`000 RUB)

Last sledding 2011 05 08
For you guys!

Kamchatka it is awesome area, but it is very far from me. I stand in center of russia.
If you have any questions you are welcome guys.
I glad answer to you always.

 

[jean reno]

I can also answer your questions. We not only realbass rider.

 

[shelbwyo]

So what about fuel and parts there? How far are you from your riding areas? What length are your tracks, they dont seem that long? I have seen some things about russian moutains on tv and they look pretty cool and someplace i would like to see someday.

What do you use for a helmet cam? Been watching your vids...

So when do we take a snowest 'Russian Adventure'?

 

[jean reno]

fuel is not always good places to ride, we carry with us from the city. spare parts to order a sleigh (waiting for a long time), but there's something in there.

 

[jean reno]

ride we go for 300 and 450 miles.
Very good track 155 for our area, and management.
A lot of pictures here http://www.snowmobile.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=12325

You guys have some good pics for sure, just be careful of avy's! Your mountains are at pretty low elevation seeing how i live at 4500 ft elevation, but how much annual snowfall do you get a year? But they look like a fun place to ride! Glad to see people from all over the world like the same awesome sport!

 

[Zrider]

Looks like you fellers got it all and then some. Great stuff. Just curious, but do you have any old dudes riding over there?

We have 91(US) fuel on gasoline station ($4.3 per gal), also we can buy 100LL ($11.6 per gal) and 114VP Racing (42.5$ per gal)
We have some parts in stock, but cost of it very expensive. Usually we buy all parts from US. Delivery of parts takes about a month.
We are using 153-155 tracks. Rarely 162.
We are using a lot of Go pro HD cam and sometimes Vio pov HD cam.
Sorry. What do you mean about Russian Adventure?
Want you to create a section about Russian sledding or want you to do sledding in Russia?

Usually we get about 15ft of snow. Our sledding area located at an altitude 2600ft-6500ft.

Just curious, but do you have any old dudes riding over there?

Sorry, my english...
Our average age is 25-40 years old

 

[shelbwyo]

My bad, i wasnt very clear... I was seeing if anyone else from the states liked the idea of taking a trip to russia to ride. but glad to see that you guys are doing good over there and having fun, lots of good pics and videos!

Schaaffsma would doo it.

Wow, I have pictured Siberia as a potential riding destination for some time, but that is just epic.


By the way, some time ago I read about riding in Mt. Elbrus (located in Russia) from a snowmobile magazine and it said that it is possible to ride almost to the top of the mountain with snowmobile. Oh and did I mention that means 18 000 ft above sea level.

 

[realbass]

Hi guys. Elbrus is great mountain. Highest point of altitude is 18510ft.
Elbrus not for sledding. It very dangerous. It mountain has a lot of cracks and
faults. Also it has very dangerous ice slopes. Bad weather, strong winds and bad snow condition, a lot of ice. My buddies rode on Elbrus and they told me that sledding was bad. Very little oxygen is very hard to breathe.
But!!! Elbrus is very handsome and beautiful.

Some picts of and from Elbrus

14750ft
