BTW just so you know, the riding and climbing in your movies don’t impress me at all. We do it 3 or 4 times a week.

Don't be so shy, Veedy could make you famous with your talent...

Show us something impressive, please...

 

[Veedy]

Veedy, you were at Yamafest last year correct? Were they climbing the chute you call monster on stock sleds? If not, why did they do it this year? That's all I wanted to know. Something had to change right? Better riders, better sleds, or different snow conditions? Simple question I thought you guys who were there could answer.

Don't get impressed confused with respect. I have lots of respect for the area you guys ride and the way you ride it. I really do. However, you guys don't have a monopoly on big chutes or big sleds. Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah all have chutes just as big, just as long, and just as gnarly. I don't believe I used the word gnarlier.

You really should plan a trip down here. You might be surprised what you find.

As far as sleds go, you might also be surprised to find out we build the same sleds here you build there. I'm not going to get into specifics as I have nothing to prove, but we know how to install tunnels, turbos systems that work, tracks, suspensions, motors, we even know how to clutch down here.

I hope telling you this stuff is not going to make you suicidal. Its really not that big of a deal to me and if you guys feel better believing you have a monopoly on this stuff I'll retract everything I've said. After all, all I really wanted to know was why the stock sled made it over monster.

Cheers

Wow, that's quite the story you have there. All I asked was what kind of sled you ride and what areas you ride them in. I would love to see the chutes you ride 3-4 times per week.

I cant answer why people didnt climb monster on stock sleds last year, maybe you should ask the riders of those sleds. The fact that it was climbed on a stocker is #1 quite amazing to me, and I would love to see under the hood, and #2 the hill at that period was quite well groomed, I doubt highly that it would make first tracks up there. At any rate that guy deserves many beers and kudos. He barely scratched over the top, but it was a full pull for sure. I have the video to prove.

I would love to check out your area and chutes / climbs in that area. If you say they are just as insane as the climbs in this area, why is it that EVERY major production of climb vids films here ?? why dont they film in your neck of the woods ? maybe you have a secret that needs to com out to the filming public ?? c'mon, spill the beans. put up or shut up as they say.

If you guys build the same sleds and ride the same type terrain, I would love to know the specs and see pics of your iron. I am truly interested ! not trying to prove anything, I want to know so that maybe we can hook up for some footage some day. make a **** star out of you instead of keyboard jockey. Show the world that you can ride like you type.

There is no monopoly and i'm feeling good about myself, no suicidal thoughts here. So if you want to PM me the goods , feel free, or post them here to prove yourself. I'll be standing by.

thanks.

It's interesting to me.... being up there on the hill with these boys. They ARE competetive, you see it in their eyes. And yet they root each other on, support each other, ENCOURAGE each other, help each other when something is wrong (whether it be stuck or something broke). You know they each want a first accent, the best line, fastest sled, etc etc. You have 3+ turbo companies being represented, 3 different (if not more) film companies being represented, 2stroke AND 4stroke sleds, and yet you see GREAT sportsmanship and comaraderie up there. Pretty incredible really!

Then add a keyboard and things get muddy......... lol

Putting all the other stuff aside, Yamafest is truly a one of a kind event. Starters, it's put on by a manufacturer for it's customers. And then you add this kind of talent, the NUMBER of great riders on one mountain alone is crazy!

There may or may not be bigger chutes out there. There may or may not be better riders out there. There may or may not be BADDER-ASSER sleds out there.... but pretty sure there is NOT a better EVENT that includes all the above out there. WAY TO GO YAMAHA CANADA!

Thumbs up to ALL involved!

Haha, your right on the money for the most part...we weren't really all that nice to the Jackazz that come up the chute when the Doo 1200 was in it, now were we. That really was stupid though. One at a time in the chutes boys and girls...we don't need anybody getting hurt from the braindead.

Veedy- I agree with everything you just posted. I too am more of a "show me don't tell me" kinda guy.

 

[Pinner]

He wasn't even impressed W/Liard's free style... ? Weird...

 

[Veedy]

Oh, and by the way, there was nothing condescending about what Lapper said. I guess you can't really send emotion over typed words, but that's not the way he would have said it.
I understand that you also ride and climb terrain that is similar to what was being climbed at Yamafest, but why oh why would you try to play it down ? If you posted pics and or video of your climbs, I would GUARANTEE you all of the boys would give you the thumbs up and say good on ya,bro. That's the attitdude we have here. It has nothing to do with my balls are bigger so go fark yourself, but hey thats awesome dude, you ripped up there, good on ya. double cheers and lets meet for a Buddy light later. Sorry if your on the wrong wavelength. Your invited to come up and ride with us anytime and share the chute comeradery we all love to enjoy.

YA WHAT HE SAID.....Agree Veedy it's not a competision is all about having fun with your Buddy lite buddies.....

 

[modsledr]

Man I miss Revy already!!!

It never ceases to amaze me after one of these events how the keyboard jockeys feel the need to come on to a thread ABOUT THE EVENT and talk about how it's no big deal and how his area/sled/riding buddies can do all that and more. Happens every time. (and if he/they really do have chutes as big and sleds as bad a$$ and riders with ba!!s of steel...lets see some pics!!...I know I know, it'll never happen!!)

Did I mention I miss Revy???

You all have fun at Veedy's BBQ...have a buddy-lite-lime for me!!

 

[snoughnut]

The Swenson Street turnout from BIS was my screensaver. But now....

Lapper, your the dude man. Papa Veedy's photo of you flyin' it out with the mountain range in the background has got to be one of the best photos of snowmobiling ever taken...that's "Boulder mountain snowcross racing, Turbo class" if I've ever seen it!

hmmmm....I'd come out to watch that.

Fair enough. If it was not meant to be condescending it's all good with me.

In the same attitude, my original post was not meant to take away from anything that was accomplished at Yamafest by anyone. Maybe I ask my question the wrong way so let me try again.

It sounds like there were a lot of 2 stroke pulling monster this year. Has this always been the case, or is this unusual? If it is unusual what were the contributing factors? Sled builds, riders, snow conditions, or a combination of all three?

Did it get pulled by a stock XP? If so here's to the rider

 

[happylilcuss]

Spur what do you ride? Lets hear some specs. Also show some pics of the chutes that are every bit as big if not bigger than revy.. Seems to me that revy in every snowmobile climbing video pretty much speaks for itself..
Out in Elko we have some amazing climbs but it aint got nothin on revy as a whole. From what I have been told. Never been to revy (Yet)

 

[Dano702]

Now i know why Shain skipped FV and all of the U Tards and went north . I think i might be seeing you boys next year . Looks like a very good event , great photo's by the way .

I think i will be burning a bit of Sunoco in Canada next year. And i will add a few Bud Light Lime's to the suit case .

 

[HighMark Adventures]

Veedy answered your question but I will answer it again. The snow was deep enough in the chutes if your were lucky enough to have the opportunity to hit them first. Friday afternoon monster was hit late in the afternoon a few times(will leave names out) It had a cool night to set up. Then the next day monster got pounded by a lot of people. Couple years ago maybe two guys would hit it. Now its like over 20. By the time the the "stock" rev hit it late afternoon it was a highway. At this point of the day their was all kind of traction and the focus shifted from horse power to "picking" the correct line. Frenchy milked that rev for all its worth and and had a good line and made it over. Not taking anything away from him but if he had hit it earlier he would not have had the track speed to make. Either way it was cool to see it.

Id believe that!!!!

Hey guys, I ask a simple question. I did not ask it in a threatening way and I did not take away from anything accomplished at Yamafest. It's not everyday stock sleds climb these chutes. I simply wanted to find out how they were doing it this year.

This did not get ugly until Lapper made the condescending comment "you keep watching the videos and well keep making them" I thought it was a disrespectful comment given the fact that we ride just as good, build sleds just as big, and climb chutes just as bad. I have never been to Canada riding, but I do ride with several guys who have. I ride with guys who have seen these chutes up close and personal. I know how they compare to the chutes we are climbing here. I have also rode with great riders from Idaho, Wyoming and Utah. Fact is, chutes just as bad as those in Canada were getting pulled by riders all over the country last weekend. If Lapper and the guys think there doing something that is exclusive to Yamafest it's time for a reality check. I respect every attempt made on any chute at Yamafest, but I also realize there are a lot of pulls being made in other parts of the country that deserve the same respect.

I got the same thing out of your original post. I didnt sense any disrespect at all. I was curious as to how these two strokes were making it over as well.
