The In-House Polaris Technician's 10 year Progression

[diamonddave]

This is Isabella. She's 13 now and helping with a top end on her sled.

It all started when she wanted to help install an E-start kit in 2009 after a ride on her trike. She was 3 at the time. Then she helped with the drill during the painful install of a Drop n Roll. From there she toned it down to replacing a-arms and installing aftermarket shocks using an 18 volt 1/2" Drive Snap On Electric gun for removal and a torque wrench for install.

She's rebuilt clutches and secondary's, installed tracks and turbo's.

She can tell you the positives of the Axys chassis. She'd make a great investment by Polaris for an Engineering degree.

During summers you'll see her on the ocean chasing salmon and gaffing tuna.

BTW, she was conceived during a sled trip in Revelstoke.

That's awesome! If you want to ride, you should learn to wrench, I say. Some kids out there are breaking much nicer newer sleds than mine and don't care because daddy will fix it. No kids of my own, but I do have a 1.5-year-old nephew who I can already tell got a full dose of the gearhead gene!

So cool! Here's a pic of my 9yo daughter last fall putting the torque to the cases of a Ski-Doo 600 Etec that we rebuilt together. Start'em young and they'll be hooked forever.

LoL, I was going to crack a joke about it getting caught in her braces

 

[diamonddave]

Poor kid has been in braces for years.

Funny she was absent from helping the day after I posted this. But shes going to help install a turbo today.

Awesome guys! My two are not into the game yet, we'll see.

But just get some crowd funding going when it's time to invest in school!
I'd pony up for that!!
