[ericbigbore]

I bought a pair of slide kicks last week. Going back to hrp this week......

So what's wrong with your slide kicks. they are the only ones you can back up with, no worries

Duffman,

What didn't you like about the slide kick...kind of made up my mind to try them until I read your post?!?!?

They didn't work, that was the first thing! Than one of the tips fell out while I was riding and the tip of the cable beat the hell out of my rail! I think they were a good idea, just need some improvements.

Onetime I have some plastic skis that had a chunk missing on the inside back corner of it. I know that it caused snow to kick up to my idler wheels. I am surprised that these companies don't do something like this.

Crap. I just got some and will probably try them this weekend. I will let you guys know if they work out for us.

you can buy replacement parts from holz racing. You don't have to buy the pair when you break one.

ya but dont want to buy replacement parts every week, if they only last one ride

Does running scratchers really allow you to get rid of all of the wheels on the rails. I would think that the rails in front of the scratchers would still be pretty dry and burn through the hifax, but if you leave the wheels in the scratchers would be so far back I dont think they would do any good.

Just picked up two sets of Slidekicks for me and my bro from Whitefish today. If I can get them put on before Friday I'll have a review by this weekend.

I have had the Holz version on both of our Revs, two years running no problems. My brother has been running them on his sleds even longer with no problems.

If they are snapping that easy, sounds like the metal it too brittle? Maybe a heat treat issue? Maybe give Holz a call and see if they will help you out.

What up with slide kicks, I thought they were the answer, you can back up all day - no worries.

Got some from paragadgets last spring - worked well even in reverse - whoops! Need a sign on the bars next to the reverse button 'Got scratchers?'
