What not to do when going off a drop

[Yamadoo04]

So here is why you should check you line before you go off a drop. I didn't want to hit the drift at the bottom going as fast as I was so I deiced to just bail and roll the sled and hope for the best.

LOL that's exactly what was going through my head at the time. I have had enough head over heals over the handle bars this year and didn't want to make it one more. My leg has finally stopped hurting from a few weeks ago when I hit the fence.

I did have a split second that i thought it might be a good jump but I also saw myself getting ejected from the sled anyway after hitting the drift kinda sideways.

About the tether, I have mixed feelings on that. I had a tether on my REV for 8 years and only wore it for the first few years. I had more problems wearing the tether and having it come off at the worst times possible. I totally get the danger of my sled getting pinned on me and have heard horror stories about people legs arms back etc getting caught in the track. I probably should get a tether the way I ride now days but just haven't taken the time to do it. Maybe someday.

And FCR112 I wish I could take more trips out of state to go ride. If I am ever in Colorado I will let you know.

NIce! Felt like I was riding there for a second. When up riding, my day is full of those moments. needless to say (but I will anyway) I'm a big fan of insurance

I saw your hole in the snow there, now I know how it got there.

We call that Kev'ie bowl, up Steep canyon. I got hung up on the cliffs far upper right from where you were on my last ride.

Here's one from our last trip south, not quite as exciting as yours, but funny non the less.
