The pro ride side of Snowest

Doo has dootalk, cat has hardcoresledder, as other sources. They keep their whining in the local neighborhood. Yamaha has, well, don't read Kanji, but rumor is they had something called a Nytro a few years ago.

Dootalk is much more active than the doo forum here. Snow and mud made a run at Snowest users a few years ago, but with the popularity of the Pro since MY11, this is the most visited place to go for RMK info, and there are alotta late model RMKs out there now. Perfect storm, so to speak.
 
XM is satellite radio lol. I noticed that on Hardcoresledder that Polaris and Cat have way more posts threads and views than Doo and Yamaha. I have always wondered why
 
To be fair, half the Pro forum posts don't count because they're from Yellow Bloods whining about a sled they don't own and haven't ridden.

Or they're the "My buddy's cousin's friend's Pro blew up..." posts.

Personally, I love the haters. Their angry, illiterate screeds bring the lulz every time.
 
take alotta heat when you're on top. Ask GM and Toyota if being on top generated more flack than being in 2nd or 3rd spot ;)
 
Well there's far more snow check threads on snowest, and snow and mud in the ski doo xm forum than the pro forum.
 
So after a winter of too much time on the 'net lol I've come to the unsubstantiated conclusion that the Pro Ride forum gets at least 4 times the posters of any other forum on Snowest.

Why? (Here ya go Jay lol.)

Cuz they are insecure and need constant reassurance that they are one of the cool kids? They figure that if they repeat that there are no engine problems enough times then it will be true?

Did I win?
 
This thread is actually great proof of why.....you have roughly 30% of the posts from people owning other brands who just want to talk smack. That percentage (or higher) is the norm in any "pro section" thread involving any chance for "outsiders" to throw in their 2 cents of how crappy this sled is. Seeing how it has been around since 2011, and proven itself to be a very popular option that works very well, that continued level of interest from off-brand posters says something I suppose.

Case in point - I stop by the doo section to check things out once and awhile...occasionally throw my 2 cents in. I've owned 2 somewhat late-model doos, but I don't dedicate much time over there highlighting Doo shortcomings because....I'm just not that interested. Where as the pro section has a very dedicated following of doo and cat riders that chime in on nearly every thread discussing advantages and/or shortcomings of RMK's.....worried that people like the sled they purchased (RMK) too much, and need to be reminded of how much, in fact, it truly does suck ;)
 
That's just because of how easy it is to ruffle ya'lls feathers, it makes for cheap entertainment.

LOL....there is the "riding weight comparison" thread in the Yamaha section right now and they're all blown away like "omg I can't believe people who own other brands come in here just to comment on this video.....this never happens"

Then in the Cat section where people were making fun of their 2015 wannabe-racer models guys were downright PO'd...."people from other brands should stay in their own section....this is the CAT section and we buy CATS no matter how weird it is to ride around with some dude's name spackled on our sleds GTFO!"

Doo section....well, it's just weird in there. As long as they come out with a new acronym every year....they are like a puppy with a new dink. "All new SHWS-X+!!" What's that? Oh it's the new Super Hand Warmer System Xtreme + Thumb warmer. 30% lighter and 40% hotter than last years. I must have it.

So I'd say we are pretty accepting in here. Other than the pro newbs with their can/wrap/oil threads....of course.
