It's all mntxr's fault!!

[Farmer]

He cost me alot money!!!!! After riding his SC Apex for a few miles, and realizing how much fun it was I thought it about it for few days and decided I had to have one. I ended up parking the M1000 and buying Spudy's 2006 Apex Mnt with a 2860RS Alpine turbo on it. The sled was very well done and very well taken care off and has been and absolute blast. It's just stupid what that thing will do, I haven't had this much fun riding in years

Actaully it all started a few years ago when I rode Pro Wrench's Tapex and Chubby's Tapex when they were out riding here in Colorado. That started me thinking and after riding mntxr's sc aprex a few weeks ago I was sold on it. I have never had as much fun as I have with this turbo. I am done with Big Bore 2 strokes. Tony, it's all your fault!!!!!

Ok OK....I will take some of the blame. After making the switch to the dark side just a month or two before you....felt like I needed company. You got all the fair warnings before you rode mine. There is nothing like a perma grin provided by Boost..beer;

These sleds are an absolute riot to ride. Those who have been on them know and those who haven't...you'll have to try one, but hang on to your wallet a little tighter than Sean did! Thanks Sean for jumping ship with me...I have had more fun than I can remember and thats in just a few rides and now it is May...snowing and I am goin riding again soon! See ya out there.

Sean, glad to hear you are enjoying it!!!! Have you gotten quite a bit of riding in? Now you will probably hate to see the season end. Next year if you ever make it up this way let us know.

Nice!

Now load up that bad boy and come ride the "fresh powder" (concrete?) up at Rabbit Ears this weekend for the Spring Fling This is the season that just won't die / LOL

Congrats - I can see those hair driers being rather addictive.

I'm surprised you held out this long. Welcome

 

[mattymac]

Im next on the list for 4stroke boost as soon as I can sell a certain vanamburg 900 cat turbo, cough cough! Glad to hear your liking it sean!

 

[irondave86]

I never thought i would do it but i just got home with my 40th annv edition Nytro, cant wait to put some miles on it this weekend. the dark side is hard to resist!

Farmer,
I have avoided riding boost just for that reason. The ol Tcat is still working great but I did break down and ride a SC Nytro at Arcticman this year. lots of linear power. The rtx front suspension left something to be desired but the power was incredible. Glad to hear you like your new sled, I know you came off of a sled similar to mine, if I did go to the dark side do you think the Apex would be a better choice than the Nytro? If I were to jump ship it would be for a SC or Turbo sled.

Uh oh

 

[Farmer]

Thanks guys, I will admit the 4stroke is a totally new thing to me but I am really excited.

While I can see where the turboed 4 stroke it's not for everyone, it's looking like it is going to be an awsome choice for me. I've had AC since 2001 and ski-doo before that and I can say till this turboed sled I have never had a sled that ran like this. This is the first sled I have ever owned that has the potential for more power than I can use or handle. I have never owned a 2 stroke BB that would even come close. It's just amazing what the response of these sleds when you put a load on them. I can hardly wait for winter

You should freaking talk...at least I rode a sled this year. Besides you copied me, I had my 1150 first. freakin guy.......

 

[HANDSOME]

Farmer, how much boost are you running ? Just wondering what fun level you are at. I came off my twin piped 03 1m900 to my 04 RX1 Alpine with no headshim at 8lbs boost and was really impressed in the deep dry powder I could run down a piped 1000 t-bird and a piped mach chicken a1m900 and a Polaris 900. The more boost the more of a handfull they become in the trees.

Just got back yesterday from my first ride on my tnytro and what an amazing sled. I had an apex running 17 pds boost, and I think my nytro pulls alot harder then my apex. you won't be disappointed with either sled.

The more boost the more of a handfull they become in the trees.

I'm not running much compared to most of these guys. Spudy had the sled set at 12 lbs when I bought the sled and that's all I have tried. The sled is running pump gas and a head shim. I haven't ran against any big done up 2 strokes yet but I've been around long enough to know what kind of track speed diffferent engine combos can make and it's just crazy what these boosted sleds will do.

As far as the trees go, they are defaintly a whole different ball game. There is no doubt they are not for everyone. They are defaintly a hand full. That being said I think I'm going to get along fine in the trees and the deeper the snow is the better I think it will be.

I have no doubt the turboed nytro is going to be a better deal in the long run over the apex. A smaller, lighter sled capable of similar power? Seems like a no brainer to me. Once you get used to the chassis it should be a blast or ride. The only down fall of them right now is that you can get a similary set up apex that is a year or two older for 6 to 8 thousand less. For me that made it a easy choice. I wanted to try a boosted sled, but I wanted to break into it a little easier to start with. A used boosted apex was a good choice. If money is no object I would think the nytro would be the better choice.

So far I love the apex, and I know I it will only be that much better the more I get to know it.

Hahahaha, you cut me deep man, real deep. I knew it was only a matter of time before you made the jump. Congrats dude, here's to putting on some boosted miles next winter. And tell your wife she's in luck, I should be single by then. LOL!
