Sled Heads .... New Ski-Doo !!!

[Quad18star]

Alright has anyone seen the 06 Ski-Doo freestyle . It's so damn ugly ... I think the engineers should be fired . This sled is gunna be a flop . It's got a 300 rotax in it ...which is good if the sled is designed for a 10 year old kid . It's gunna be very nimble on the trails and great in the powder .... Hrmmm I see an overworked engine in the powder now .

But seriously ... you gotta see how ugly it is .... big *** bug headlights ... no front end ... just plain stupid looking . You can check it out at www.dootalk.com or at www.ridefreestyle.com

Yup, would be fun for a 10 yr old kid though. I'd like to take it and beat the ***** out of it for a day.

I don't think much would be left of it though:confused:

Hey greg, is 440 good for a fully clipped 1 inch lug 9837 predator track???

[Quad18star]

Is it brand new or just slightly used? That sounds about right though .... even a little under what they usually go for . I know they run about $700 CAD which would be like $560 USD

I'd like to beat it also .... and like you said , I dont think much would be left . I was thinking maybe it would have a 440 engine in it .... which would make up for its looks , but the 300 Rotax just kills it even more . I don't know how they can call it a "Freestyle" ... kind of deceiving if you ask me . It's got friggen reverse also and it's handlebars look like something that just came off a Trapper edition sled . BRP has really screwed this one up .

New, I think I'll tell him ok then, still in the plastic:)

I'd try launching it off of the roof, if I didn't have to pay for the damage
:D

Yeah thats a good deal for sure . I know some tracks don't come clipped , and that adds like another $50 to it .

Have you ever seen the Polaris IQ snowcross sled ?? I watched one this weekend and was pretty impressed . I'd like to know what kind of pipes he had , cuz it had a very destinct sound to it ... really high pitch yet not irratating . Looks like it was flying pretty level through the air also and soaked up the hit when the guy came up short a few times .

You and the guys are missing some prime ridding conditions up here . I heard down in the G Spot area the snow is perfect ... but I guess all the guys are out on the tour right now .

I need one, might be my next slead, hitting that ramp, and some of the bigger natural hits lunched the rear suspension on my srx this last weekend:(

Not sure if I'll be stuck on an xlt next week or not:confused: I still love polaris, we know how to make em run.

Red and blue is UGLY though, black is the way to go.

Did you break anything on the suspension , or just collapse the shock ?

I've only seen the red and blue IQ ... do they make a black one??

It's getting tough to make a decision on which sled to get for next year .... Ski-Doo , Polaris and Cat are all making great snowcross sleds now . I'll most likely end up with a REV from our snowcross team though .... Sled gets raced one season ... then new parts get thrown on it and sold for half the price they are new . :p

[86350x]

Sheared the bolts off, broke the shock............................You name it, I broke it

I need to try a rev out for myself. But I still like polaris, yes, there is black too. Team amsoil is running black now. Your sticking with Skidoo, since your a hard core canadian:p Don't like those american machines:p

J/k Not sure what to buy yet:confused:

[Quad18star]

Always gunna be a die hard Ski-Doo guy , but damn the competition is getting tough out there .

Yeah it sounds like you did a good number on the Yammy ... that's gunna cost a few bucks . :p

You know the saying ... When in Doubt , Bail the F**k out ?? This guy took that advice . :eek2:

Looks like ryan britt, and kortney hungerford

Never bailed, just landed too hard for my stock skid. If I do it again, I'm going to have to get an expert x. I need a back up slead, if ski-doo gets there ring problem solved I'll take a look at one.

I did some powder riding last weekend too, just not that deep. Cuts are way easier in deep snow. I was riding in like 18 inches maybe of loose power with 6 or a bit more underneath.

Still waiting on my parts. Its not going to be TOO expensive. Just would rather ride the SRX then any of the other machines.
