Decided to tag along with Clem on one of his Thursday rides. He rides with friends, customers and employees. Its a good group and they all look out for each other.
I decided to bring my Snow Hawk with me, figured there will be plenty of Polaris's and Skidoo's
When I got to the cabin and offered my fellow riders a turn on my exotic hand built machine, the first person to step forward was Clem.
I was a little apprehensive he had never ridden one before. I was quickly put at ease when he pinned the throttle and raced to the opposite end of the meadows.

He did great!
We had several other guys try the Hawk and after the initial turning fall they quickly got the hang of it and ripped around.

For the second time in 3 rides another Polaris went off the edge of the trail.
first Pro
This time there are no X-rays to review.
Came round the corner to see a fellow sledder standing in the middle of the trail on a corner.
When sledders are standing in the trail without their sleds in sight, its like a who done it, how is the story about to unfurl?
Operator on trail, sled down the hill, Deja vu same situation 2 weeks ago.
The operator didn't negotiate the sharp turn and rode it down the hill.
rescue party assembles
The bolt connecting the upper A arm to the spindle top broke. Out came the bailing wire and the 30 mph Duct tape. Clem was upset because it wasn't the 100 mph kind.
They managed to reassemble the sled and get it operable and Clem offered to drive it back to the Cabin. He took the shortcuts and drove it like a regular sled. He favored the good ski but I was impressed that it could drive so well with a bailing wire spindle connector.
group celebrating a successful rescue!
Its always an adventure, and no matter what happens the fellow riders come to the rescue.
As long as no one got hurt it was a great day.
group stopped for a bite, we said goodbye and headed down the hill.
