I recently purchased an 850 Matryx. Does anybody else feel the group who designed the seat must eat mountains of doughnuts and have endless cushion in their rear ends?? They sure didn’t place any cush in the seats, very similar to riding 2x10 doug fir!!

Why were you riding a 2 x10 Doug fir?
Is it a 24? I heard something about the 24s getting softer seats than 22-23s but I haven't tried comparing them. My 23 doesn't bother me though. No natural cushion on my skinny ass either.
Group up on bikes, much better developed suspension, sleds have a long way to go.
It is a 24, I’ll have to compare to a 23. I left it on the trailer the other day and took my 19 Axys for the day, kept pinching myself, thought I died and went to heaven.
A threat I have made to my wife many times and have caved: remove the seat, it lends itself to bad habits.
I never sit down while riding but do when stopped. It's been tempting to make a new seat with storage under it - great place for a tool roll or something similar that can just stay permanently on the sled. An inch of firm padding on top of the "lid" would be enough.
Not sure I’ve sat on my seat more than 10 minutes in 1000 miles
More importantly, what’s the update on your digits?
Well, doing little better. Swelling is down and still wicked sore. Thanks for asking
I remember my first scratch also.Well, doing little better. Swelling is down and still wicked sore. Thanks for asking
Is there a good story with this?
Not really. On Chillys “Boost Recon Mission”, Chilly blasted up through some steep and thick reprod, not leaving much of a line and in typical Ryan fashion, I thought, sure I see a line and got bucked making the last turn before the climb through the trees. Left hand came off the grip and my index finger was last to leave the bar in a forward motion and she bend right backwards as my sled stopped and body went forward
I knew it wasn’t going to be pretty, waited a bit to pull my glove off and it was swollen pretty fast.Not as cool as breaking my back, all my right ribs, collapsing my right lung and shattering my right collar bone in a motocross accident falling 20’ onto my head… That’s old news though, 2005.
If you sit down you’re poor
Wait, Chilly!! Is that your incognito profile?

So you became the recovery mission on a recovery mission? FFS. This is exactly why you call the heli. I’d be pressing charges against your guide. It sounds like he disregarded your safety and was trying to injure or kill you?
