skidoo going crazy

[xpspenziv]

A vertical steering post also on the Pro not one that angles over the top fo the motor. I loved my REV but liked my IQ and my Pro a lot more. I do agree there is some kind of pyramid design but the pyramid and the bulk head aren't even close to what ski-doo has. Also, the fact that my feet can bee in the foot weels and still be ahead of me when seated and not under me makes a difference as well.

There is still no foot well on a poo. Just a toe catcher. The handle bars are forward of the socalled footwell, causing a leaning forward stance. Ive ridden a couple and not impressed. Its glued together. Making repairs is a thing of the past. Its totaled after a tree stressing session, roll over, ect. They all make good machines. Its personal preference. If people would learn how to make susp changes to there sled to make it how they like it. Of course a trail set up isnt going to act like its set up for the trees or climbing. Its a give and take situation.

Actually, you are right they are all good machines and I have owned REVs, IQ's and the Pro now. In my experience Polaris makes the strongest bulkheads out there. I have shreaded stumps so hard I went over the handle bars because it stop the sleds from 40 MPH on the IQ. Guess what the A-ARm gave away like it should have. $90 for an A-arm and I was back in business. No damage to the bulkhead. I believe the new Proride bulkhead can be headed with a torch to release the glue. Then you just repair the part and reglue the joint. However, with Polaris you shouldn't need to worry about the chassis. The Arms and components around it are made to give way first. I never understood why ski-doo never did this. My buddy totalled a zx from hitting a stump and the trailing arm wouldn't ben so it bent the bulkhead instead. Have seen this on Revs and XP's as well. Bent bulkheads.

go to mybussard on youtube, you can look all you need, 150vids to watch

I went to your Youtube channel, I watched maybe 20 videos of people laughing and riding in open meadows and open hillsides, can you point me to the 1 video that shows you riding in the terrain that would best exemplify the "tree riding" that you do? Thanks

You are wrong about the repairs, they can easily be repaired and because of the glued construction, it makes them much stronger as well. A Poo bulkhead will handle a tree hit to the A arms much better.

Huh?... Its glued together. Making repairs is a thing of the past.................

you should do a little research on this.....the glue makes the sled easier and faster to repair let alone the strength it adds..the glue is as strong as welding at the joint and doesnt weaken the parent metal, its also extremely easy to make repairs..just so you know..pretty much every vehicle on the street uses glue to hold the body togeather....

Structural adhesive is an amazing thing. I work in construction and the transition from cast in place applications to epoxy applications over the last few years has been remarkable. What went from a fix for a "woops" moment has now become a specified building method. The biggest thing is getting people over their pre-conceived notions that one way is better than the other. I think the term "glue" probably throws most people for a loop...

in one of his vids, he calls driving between 2 rocks on a hill a NASTY shute. lmfao. wicked!

Whine, Whine, Whine. Ride your sled and shut up..... "Im better than you" Good for you and your sled. Its the rider that SHOULD BE riding the sled not the sled riding the rider which makes alot of sleds good as long as your a good rider....... I know guys 50-60 years old riding old edges, summits and even a yammi 3cylinder that can whoop up on most people. It must be their awesome sled huh???? ahahahahahhaahaha

 

[mynewuseddoo]

HORSEPOWER DAMMIT!!!


Half the posts in the Pro forum are Doo guys pissing and moaning about a sled they won't own. The Cat and Yammi guys don't pull this crap so why do you clowns?


If they ever make me a mod I'll ban-hammer your trolling a$$es. Promise.

Yup! I've owned a Rev, an XP and an M Series. I am a die hard Cat fan but if there is a sled that bests a Cat, I have no problem switching brands........needless to say, I'm buying a Pro.

Too much yellow pride to know whats good for 'em lol!

I didn't ask this to be a sarcastic tool, I thought maybe there was some video that was more indicative of what we consider tree riding?

That is part of the problem on internet forums, one person considers riding in meadows to be mountain/tree riding. While others only consider it tree riding if the slope is 50 degrees or more and there are trees in every direction you look with only the smallest opening between the trees. The skill level required to ride the latter is exponentially greater than the former. Every time I try to follow the best riders through that friggin jungle I am humbled and reminded I am not a gifted rider.
