whats your kids ride? Lets see some long tracked??

[KrazyKen]

Phazer

thats one hell of a exciter what size track. what mods done to it any videos of it

If your refering to the sled in my post it's actually a Phazer. The track is a 144 cut down to 1 1/2" height. If you go into my profile / photo albums, there are pleny of pics of the build with some descriptions. I recently sold the sled to a guy in Jackson Wy for his kid. It was my son's sled that he rode from 9-12 yrs old. We did the full mod to it 2 years ago.

I know you are not trying to "knock" us teens, but me at the age of 14 can keep up with the adults easily riding my dragon 700 163. I learned how to ride on an indy lite 340 till the age of 9, then moved up to a 97' super sport 488 till 12. Then i rode a indy 600 till just this season when i got my new sled. I can sidehill, boondock, etc. just fine. Like i mentioned earlier, riding with turbo sleds and older people make you learn how to ride trees real fast.

I had a very similar path. And could ride well at a young age. I loved riding my 440 race sleds into the terrain everyone else was in. A typical weekend was in Revy or Sicamous. You had to keep up. I can appreciate that you can ride well, but working for the mark, or finding that line.....I couldn't do it on a 890 Doo 156 let alone a BA 670 back in the day.......but I could ride them and follow the group around just fine. Point and shoot, no problem.....get technical? No chance. Hop back on my mildly modified Summit 500(ok not so mild, very effective) and I could spin nuts on cue and wiggle my sled through trees and hang a sidehill forever. I just think there might be some experience left behind. Like I said, if you are built a lot bigger than I was when I was 14, I can't knock ya.....but personally.......14, 120lbs........no chance on a 163. Sometimes throttle control can do wonders.....but not when your built like that.

I totally agree with you on that Reeb, but i am a little bigger than your average 14yr old. I'm more like 160lbs and 6'1", which does wonders for tree riding and sidehilling, throttle control does help tons to.

[Snowmobiler621]

Nice sleds guys

 

[Customization]

what stuff do u have done to your mountain max im 12 and i have a 700 triple

 

[MtnMaxMod]

lots of mods lol,
most helpful mods to that sled though are simmions ski's, camoplast challenger track (stock yokohama is a horrible track) triple pipes, transfer enhancement kit, and cut off the sway bars. it will be a whole new sled and will hold it's own against most other sleds if you ride it right

Works for me, it's just that not all 14year olds are over 6ft. Both of these kids can rip some sht up, that's awesome.....wasn't directing the comments towards them. Moreso to the guy that brags his kid up for riding his modded 159 when the kid can't even load or unload a sled off a deck by himself.

 

[Bkinz]

Allrighty sounds good, i was just putting my opinion in.

 

[volcano buster]

bump

 

[volcano buster]

I picked up a '93 440 SKS for the kids. I need to get a little more aggressive track and some plastic skis on it.

Anyone have something similar that you can recommend some skis?

 

[polaris dude]

im 16 and just moving up to a 600 155 this year, im pumped to right it out though!

im not particularly hardcore though, at least not yet

I just read it from start to finish and am now filled with HOPE of finding SOMETHING for my 8 & 10yr Olds to ride this winter!!
