If you're a full-grown dude and you're feeling like the blast doesn't quite have the juice for you, then you are probably right and it's time for you to upgrade yourself to the 650 146 that Polaris just put out. It's a Khaos and a slash, so it will definitely give you the "lift" you are looking for.Just realized I've been watching yamadoo videos on you-tube!!! Like father like son! You guys can ride like crazy!! Sad that I can't even ride my blast like that lol! But I think it shows that the sled has reached out to some with good results! I dunno if iam right but for me i just need a little more "lift" . I get stuck a lot because o can't turn fast enough sometimes? I know thats probably me but on the 600 I can usually pin and wiggle a bit more? Would the lowering the track mod help this? Man iam stoked for your kid he's only going to get so much much better!! He'll be an ambassador before you know it!!
