How do you bust a nut ?

[GRINreeper]

Ok, so its my 2nd season riding, and in the video link below is my third time riding my impulse nytro. The Question I have, cause Ive seen it done many times (especially on Turbo's) is how do I bust a nut, or in other words, how can I do a donut say twice as tight as some of the attempts in the the video. I seem to start into a tight one but it bucks me off like an angry bull time after time. If anyone could watch the video and give me some constructive criticism I would be much obliged ! I have found times where this skill would come in very handy to turn around in tight places ect...

Looks like you're doing fine to me, and you're having a blast : )

I think everything comes with practice anyways no matter what it is, just keep working at it, I'm jealous.

Cheers.

Soften the rear skid? shorter track? less boost? more snow? I have also yet to master the donut on the nytro. With my rev I would just pin it and lean and do endless donuts. Also those gen 2's make life way harder IMO.

I do find either the sled straightens up and you take off like a rocket or if you get 100% commited to the donut you end up falling over and if your lucky oil pukes out everywhere.

You now have some track speed with the turbos which makes it harder to control at that throttle you are used too. try letting off a bit and on and off more.

OK, I can help. I will trade you my Turbo 600 RMK for your Nytro, this should make it easier for you.

Yeah to do them tighter more snow helps a ton. Also a little easier on the throttle

 

[GRINreeper]

I see where you are going with this....*my RMK will bust nuts like nobodys business * and undoubtably it does. I have a 700 rmk, and I cant do a tight donut on that yet eather so right now I am simply seeking the technique.

how much would snow conditions effect this ?

looked like you pretty well have it. If you want to turn tighter dip the skis back in more (less counter), after that its balance and anticipateing the spin of the sled. Plan on getting thrown for a while and be happy that snow is soft. julio

LOL that sure looks like your havin too much fun to me! You could always let off on the throttle a bit but other than that it just takes more *** time on that bad *** sled

Your doing everything right you just have to commit to keeping your left/right shoulder buried in the snow to make the sled pivot around your body(to some extent).

easy on the throttle and I find the more I counter steer, the sled will stay on its side. As you steer back into the snow (tips turn down) it will pop you back up.
I find it is a fine balance between counter steer, and throttle modulation.
Check out this video we did last season for some tips on **** hooks... haha

Love your riding style bro...it's like you pick all the same lines/stunts as I would! Great Vid

thanks for the tips and videos, lots of great info. I will give it a try this weekend and post the results.

watching my friends try to spin my sled around, its funny, they all get bucked off.. getting used to staying less into the throttle. it just wants to toss you off harcore!!! I found that if I want to spin really tight circles.. dive onto my shoulder as hard as possible and give it boost. if your going WOT circles. you need to be laying over on the thing like you want it to never come up.. time is really all that it takes. It took me a few rides and LOTS of circles to start getting it figured out. boost makes em want to do crazy things, and the gen II's dont really help much either!

Trim your outside edge on the gen 2 skis from the Axle back helps a ton.

The further back you place your feet the tighter the dougnie.

I like pull mine with lots of power lean back hard --- if you let of the power at that point you fall in if you move your weight forward it straightens out.

Commit to where your elbow is in the snow -- the less snow the more lean you need -- power is your friend . On My old TRX1 I can pull a loop where the skis are almost stationary but that takes 16 pounds of boost and WOT all the way around .

The Apex and RX1 do doughnuts easier not sure why.

So when you say you pull it, I am assuming that you are not straddling your seat. Rather you are standing on one side of your machine, and pulling on the handle bars which is applying force to your feet. In Turn wants to push the tunnel away from you?

I have a habit of not advancing to one side or the other of the sled, and I keep one foot on the tunnel and one foot is lazily resting on the seat. I like the theory to apply force on the tunnel to help it push it away and swing around.

before I cut my skis im going to try the stockers to see the all round differences.

i cant do that tight of circles with my feet forward.. put em towards the rear suspension mounts and give it hell.. they spin around fast. i can spin 180*s like that with my shoulder planted.. so they are some pretty tight radius turns for a 11' long sled.
