Lucky day Sledding Saturday, Close Call to trashed sled.

[Yamadoo04]

So on our way back from the Horse Shoe Saturday, I had my new Helmet cam rolling when my dad got bucked off his sled at the top of a big hill. I thought the sled was going to roll down the hill and break into a million pieces. Watch how close he came to losing his Nytro. It wouldn't be too bad if it was powder but this was no powder day. I am still shocked that it stayed up there without rolling down. Enjoy. Oh yeah Snow is getting really thin up there. I think we are done for the season.

Yep yer ol' man's pretty lucky. I've tipped like that several times on top of double hill in the Uintas and I have never been lucky enough to have my bars stick the snow like that and keep my sled hangin on.. always rolls the 2000' to the bottom Hard to rebuild something with that much damage.. doesn't look like it even scratched yer dads sled. nice work

LUCKEEEEEEEEE.....................

Always better to end the season with a little Luck than Carnage

BTW Chad: When we riding? Season kinda went fast didn't it.

 

[Yamadoo04]

Ya no kidding what happened there? This year went by way too fast. I guess thats what happens when you a have a kid though. You don't get to ride as much when that baby comes in the winter. Next year we will ride together

The old man was leaving u in the dust before that happened

what helmet cam u useing>?

 

[Yamadoo04]

Yes he did. I was not full throttle though. If I get too close then I get pelted with snow which isn't very fun when the snow is hard like that.

That camera is the new HD Contour from Vholdr.com. Only problem is when it is sunny outside the snow gets washed out so all you see is bright white. They need to make a sun filter for it for those bright sunny days. I need to talk with them about that. Here is a video from earlier that day that shows whats happens.

So before you buy one wait to see if they will be making a sun filter for it. I will be sending a message today about it.

That camera actually isn't too bad. Even though the reflection from the snow really brightens it up to there you can't see the tracks, rocks, etc, it really accents the colors on your sled, helmet, and gear.. I agree with the uv filter tho
