widowmaker crested feb 28th 2001 polaris edge 800 144x2

[Old_Focker]

I saw the post for the xp's that did it a couple days later and thought i would let you know who broke the top first....enjoy

First this is my dads handle and it was his sled that went over the top his son Focker Jr did the pull (me) and no I checked when I came back down no stains in my britches....however it was a little steep

SLED:
-2001 Polaris edge 144 (like balancing a canoe through hurricane)
-Twin Pipes (SLP)
-Heads
-Great clutching (took a lot of years but this one moves hit cat clutch)
-310 main jets (yes that’s right 310s turned 1380-1394 degrees every pull)
-yes if you one of the 30 plus that where there it was the blue sled with flames up the front stars on the hood and OLD FOCKER on the windshield


STORY:

Feb 27th of March I broke my stretched IQ 925 and had to pull out OLD FOCKER's back up he sent with us. There where around 30 people at the bottom and everything from the new ski doo xp, m7 on nos, to sweet sounding Yamaha triple. The snow was obviously a little set up as all we got was a foot a couple days before. There where two lines 150 yards from the top I checked it the first time and thought I had the speed two runs later hit the top a few more tried but couldn't hit...... the last 100 yards was a straight up and down section of the over hang on top. It was a great ride and a hell of a rush I figured this might be the last year for that sled and came so close the first time I didn't want to put it away knowing it might of....it helped a little that a camera came out to video the run.. I thought I would share this with all my sledders as I was laughing as hard as everyone else when rudy hit the peak ,,,,I think everyone sh*% themselves but I'm telling that sled has been one of those mystery sleds for us wish I could say that for the rest of them.....next time you see a 2001 blue edge with flames up the front and OLD FOCKER on the windshield put your pink slip away so no one gets hurt

Oh and if you mess with the Widow Maker be sure you have full coverage...I didn't as this is my dads back up sled but felt that it was needed to roll the dice

Where did you go over, the left side by the rocks or the middle?

 

[Old_Focker]

l started right of the rocks maybe 30 yards by the rocks with a little drift right toward the top...pretty much the same angle all the way across right now up there as it is one big over hang covering everything including the rocks that sit in the middle under it all... came down the right side just inside the foothill to the bottom of the hill or just outside of the rocks sitting under the snow

Notice that the xp's jumped up the cornice, any jumping up? Climbing it on hero snow day, not too difficult in my book.

ye haw we were going up and over the top back in the 90s on stock mountain maxs when the snow is hard now take a sled and climb the widow maker at 70+ mph track speed with a foot or two of fresh or better yet go to the left of widow maker about half way to the gap and make a line up the hill then well see if you $#!t your self cause its a wild ride see ya at the top old focker

 

[sledneck84]

Yeah Right.

I lived out there for 3 years, ride out there every year. And you didn't go where those XP's went on a 144" polaris 800!! Sorry but unless you have a video, No way i can believe that even in hero snow. We were out there that weekend and my brother started that original post you speak of about the XP's. Now that is a good running 800 Poo and it wasn't going over that spot. Case Closed.

 

[snowcross338]

here's a pic of someone climbing with a 144" polaris. On hard packed widow maker!

 

[minie me]

lol to this thread.
try it with some powder...

 

[Snowjunky]

I have been working towards running up the widowmaker myself. Kinda like a goal. Been riding for only two years but I sure get a kick out of watching you guys get over the top.

 

[Old_Focker]

yes you guys are right i made it up..settle down ladies i appoligize for not putting up pics...i posted this because a guy made a big deal of some xp's going over the top knowing i put the first mark there in the last couple of weeks...and did you also notice i mentioned the snow was set up...i've been out west for 11 years now so this wasn't my first rodeo and i know hero snow...it snowed a foot two days before the climb and was set up nice and even better for the guys on saturday....i will get the video up on youtube and send a link this weekend if i'm not too hung over....and no the m7 with nitrous didn't touch it...like i said this sled runs abnormally good......if anyone wants to run this sled using a 144 2 inch i'm game and you will lose..maybe we could do a sled snow called snow pinks...put em up!!!... our group consists of everything from my 925 big bore twin in an iq chassis to a 1200 watercraft in a prox chassis so yes this is a back up sled....ask cody that runs that Yamaha tours when you get there he saw the sled!

later haters

You're the only one that's making a big deal about it. I was the one that started that topic, all I asked was who owned the XP's and if they had anything done to them. All I was wondering is that what a stock XP(with stock clutching) runs like or did these guys have some mods and/or clutch work done to them. Nowhere in my thread did I say they were king of the mountain or anything like that. Sorry for asking a simple question, I thought that's what these forums were for. There's always the people that use the forums to inflate their ego though. Everything was fine until you came in there bragging how your sled made it over the top. You don't see me coming into your topic talking about how my sled can beat your sled do you? I'm more mature than that and I'm 21 years old for cripes sake. If you are really an "Old Focker" as your username says I think you have some growing up to do yet.

Sorry we all got in your way, we're not worthy. Hopefully those turbo Apex's stay away, I'd hate for them to get beat by a Polaris 800 144".

 

[minie me]

so how do you know you are the only person to crest the top in weeks?

 

[catman 1200]

Aww screw it, sounds like a good story to me

Hey Focker Put The Video Up, There Is No Reason Not To. I Don't Believe This To Be True With A 144. I Have Been Over The Maker On A Kk 900 162 When Snow Was Set Up And The Top Is Still Steep And Deep I Almost Turned Out, And Barely Made It. I Have Also Lost A 98 Rmk 700 151 On The Maker And This Sled Had Many Mods And Ran Awesome. You Might Have Been Passed Out And Had A Dream That You Made It, But Whatever Makes You Happy. Have To See It To Believe It Post The Vid.

 

[diggler]

heck you could drive a 85 trail indy up it right now, its so crusty, no problem.

That's because it's a Polaris!
I've rode crustier things Diggler, like your woman.

Are you talking about on the left side, near the rocks? or anywhere on the Widowmaker?

Last weekend I went over the top, up the middle, just to the right of the shelf of snow that was hanging there near the top. I never tried going over on the left side though, I don't have the balls to make it so I didn't try. Going over the top from the middle is probably rookie stuff to you guys that climb these mountains all the time but I was pretty happy for being a flatlander like myself.

 

[diggler]

it must have been crusty after i was done.
