Yes he is just trying to stir up some attention for the all but forgotten Hawk. Riding a Hawk is like riding a fat chick, you dont mind trying it ONCE but anymore than that and your pals make fun of yah.

They have had there chance and just cant seem to gain market. I would say either the idea was ahead of its time or its actually just a POS and peeps dont want it?? Either way keep stirring the pot its more interesting this way:beer;

For hard pack or trail riding. I can't imagine riding something like the Hawk in 3' of fresh with 10' or base. The thought of trying to get it back out of the hole you put it in would be mind blowing.

That and the weight of that thing isn't much less than a conventianal sled with 1/2 the flotation.

On the old forum I was the First to Post 1ski vs. 2ski. and for some reason it really ticked some of you off.

I like all sports Water skiing, Snow skiing, Motorcycles, windsurfing, and sledding. If someone asked me to come and try my Snow board, air chair, or trials bike, I would answer " heck yah". I may not like it but at least I can give a edjucated reason why.

segregation Weather you like it or not it is still a regitered Snowmobile.

This is a Snowmobile sight with a general forum to talk about snowmobiles?

Yawn........

In all my time on this forum and the old forum, I cannot recall any threads started by "couch riders" calling out the "one-skiers" but yet I can remember at least a dozen threads where Hawk riders keep badgering the "two-skiers". I don't read the Hawk section so please correct me if I'm wrong if some sledder has come into that section and posted unretalitory, unsolicited derogatory remarks about the Hawk.

SHA did great things for you Hawk riders on this site by pretty much turning a lot of people against you. IMO, you should be trying to improve that relationship if you want to be accepted as part of the majority, not throwing fuel on the fire.

Yes, this is a sled site, so you're correct, let's talk sleds. You talk about "segregation", but yet......you're the ones who have segregated yourselves. You can't start a thread about how great the snow hawk is and how much sleds suck and then start another one about how you love all sports and as "sledders" we should all get along and sit idly by while you tell us how antiquated our sleds and riding tactics are and generalize about sledders....

Either practice what you preach or the only bus you'll be sitting on is the one full of hypocrits.

Well said!!!

And I too cannot remember on this new or the old forum where a snowmobiler called out a snowhawker...........but I sure do remember SnowHawkAddict and all the BS that came with him.
 
The Snow Hawk does look like fun to ride. Kind of like a jet ski but they get old and boring real quick. Besides..... It really sounds like a certain personality trait, or should I say lack there of, is required to be a proud owner of a Hawk.

Actually Its funner in the powder, I know I know don't defend the short bus riders, but it actually goes good in the powder.I thought it was sketchy on the hard trail.

This sled likes to be ridden like a rental, Its hard to describe but it really is a fun machine, it was just expensive and now they don't make them.(although I don't think it would be hard to get parts, unless ski-don't goes under)

BTW the guy that has the one I rode (and his son's) has an arctic cat and he has spend all night fixing his hawk so he wouldn't have to ride his "2 ski".
And he is actually a sane individual.:)

Not to question your superior intellect, but you misspelled educated
 
i've rode a few hawks over the last few years and i agree with JET FUEL on some things like the fact that they are much easier to ride in the pow than on the hardpack and the fact that you can't *****foot around on one, you need to drive it like you stole it or you'll be crashin left and right. i to think they can be fun but they can kick your trash in a quick hurry if your not used to it. to me they seem fun to take for a quick jont while out sledding but i dont think i could give up my sled for one.

some reasons id prolly never buy one-im a fatty so it wore me out pretty quick, i dont know if they ever put a bigger tank on them but i know when we would go riding with the hawks there had to be sleds there to pack gas if they wanted to get any kind of distance on the ride, they had ski-doo motors:eek:, and they always seemed to feel quite underpowered compared to a sled for having the same motor in basically half a sled. thats my .02

oh, and i agree about seein more hawkers stirren crap up with the 2-skiers vs. the other way.
 
Why does every thread that mentions a snowhawk turn into "bash the hawk boys". the intention of this thread was why did a different thread get deleted and is it a case of segregation. All the sledder's responses have been about the snowhawks ability and why you don't ride one. Every time we try to talk with the outside we get bashed, it is the case, take a good look at yourselves. If you don't want to ride one DON'T. I could care less, I do know there are some that are curious. Thats Great. But why bash something you havn't tried? Most of the members that say "that thing can't go in the steep and deep" Have never even ridden with or on a hawk, so how do you know?

I am not sha I havn't bashed anybody except bigtruck, and we have worked that out between ourselves.

Since you brought it up oregunrmk, I'll correct you as well... That oregun in your name looks kinda funny. Since oregun is a state, I think you needed to capitalize the "O"
Oregunrmk, oh yeah, that looks much better now. Your welcome:D:D

So what your saying is that a state or title should be capitalized like say some wanna be from the arctic named arctic matt, should in fact be "Arctic Matt" in his username. Btw my name (oregunrmk) is slang for Oregon.

You guys start the crap on this site!!

Maybe if morons like SHA would quit comparing apples and oranges we would cross over. People like SHA and the idiot that started this thread have ruined your sport. I used to want to ride a hawk until I heard the tude from some of the hawkers. Now I wouldnt get caught dead on one.

BTW - I sighned your red rep - Eric
 
Giving me red rep for peacefully stating my opinion proves my point Hawk riders are shuned because we ride snowhawks, I thought as a nation we had grown past judging people in that way. I guess I was wrong. :(

As promised here is some green for ericbigbore.

No, hawk riders are trashed because of idiots like snowhawk addict and poacher who come on here and start bashing threads.

Re-read that fun spirited opener and then ask why hawk riders are shuned.
You ask for respect, try giving some to start with.

Seriously, now you're just being ignorant. I read the thread that BT attached from the Hawk section, stating that poacher was going to "Go fishing" and then you replied "Fish ON".....c'mon, don't act dumb.... you know the one right?? This one.....
http://www.snowest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=128347

So you taunt us, then start a thread taunting us more, after you have posted your intentions in another section, and then have the audacity to come out and want us to treat you like a charity case??? No one was bashing you here before you started bashing sledders. Who started this thread and the other thread??? Not the "couch riders"........
I have no issue with what you ride or how you ride it, glad to hear that folks are out there having a good time. I'm pretty tolerant and frequent this site to help folks out as best I can, not to hear about how much of a whiner I am.

Maybe when you come out of the Hawk section....check your ego at the door and you will find that people will be more receptive to you. You will find that if you don't segregate yourselves (both in attitude and forum sections that you frequent) you will be accepted on this site. Participate more in the traditional sledding side of the forum instead of blackballing us.

I don't leave red rep so don't worry you can call me an idiot or whatever you want without recourse.
