That had to be hard on your sleds, riding on all that dirt and rocks. Too bad the season is over... Was that Memorial Day? Oh, and tomorrow won't work for me anymore, got some training I have to be at.

I'm waiting til June for the last ride, last blowup of the season

Nice stunts, but you need to learn to gape at the camera for that in your face effect

Looking good you freaks,
Now go change your hyfax and pull the rocks out of your wear rods!

whats the advantage of running the m-series front end on the sno pro?

 

[backcountryislife]

shorter arms & adjustable spindles which bring my stance down to 39".

The narrower stance makes it easier to sidehill, keeps bumps on a ramp from hitting you as hard, and makes an off angle landing hurt less.
Also the front sits up just a tad higher.

I did it last friday & it was a HUGE improvement.

planning on a ride when we get back from Alaska in a week, then drive up to Elliot Ridge for a July 4 ride. Never rode in July before! Season's not over yet!

what's with the title "seasons over" it's not over til i say it's over, and i say it's not over until i ride this season into july. There's still plenty of places to ride. I'll let you know when it's done since it sounds like your ready to pull the jet ski out of storage.

"nothing is over until we decide it is.."

"was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?..."

Rode Jones Pass yesterday, first ever June ride. I have seen worse snowpack up there in May. I think you could drop off the backside towards WP the coverage was that good up top.

Came home and rode the quad for 25 miles in Gilpin Cty. Couldnt get any higher than 10K feet, still good snow coverage on the trails. Gotta love sleddin and quadin on the same days!

Need to rebuild my supermodified 550 stand up jet ski. I think the crank bearing went. Almost time. Need to let the water warm up a little...

no, the snopro shocks are 19.5, too long.

what the heck are you guys talking about jetskis for? don't you already have a sled? Just use that.

goin riding this weekend, should be some nice summer conditions!

oh, and tree eater, the "season's over" title was sarcastic, based on the amount of snow above my house, I'll be riding WELL into july this year, we can always ride into june up here.

 

[steveo10]

if your a diehard, make your way up to B.C. Revy should be good for awhile

 

[backcountryislife]

so, I've got a choice between 4 1/2 minutes from my door till mid july... or a 22 hour drive, $300 in gas, and about the same type of snow????

I'll get back to you in august when this decision isn't quite as easy!!!

backcountry check ur PM'S

 

[backcountryislife]

James, get saturday off, it's gonna be a great day!!!

Anybody that wants to come play we're going to have what we're claiming is the "last day" (at least till we feel like riding again the weekend after!) this coming sat.

Nothing crazy, pretty laid back riding, some cornices to play on & some grilling & general enjoyment happening, all are invited!
