My attempt at racing snow-x. I had never ridden a sled more than acrsot the lake or around a field. I bought this one and took it to the races before ever event riding it. LOL. Some guys gave me some pointers that definetly helped. In the practice i was a wreck, fell off, kept tipping over... SOOO much diffrent than a quad. No front brake. lol.

Here is the link to my first race im the seccond one in from your left. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6rMQ19I8lw

they are wicked tippy, and a whole lot of roost in your face.

Its comparible to my atc 200 3 wheeler, when you turn it it just tips up on its side. lol.

I gotta just learn how to throw it around more I guess.

this is where my quad has sat all summer, didnt take it to the track once. I feel guilty.

awesome there's more sledders out there, yes its alot differant but once you get used to it you'll love it. what kind of sled are you running? lots of things can effect the turning and handling of the sled, just takes some time getting your sled set up.

i don't race sno X, nor ride on lakes, its all about the backcountry mountian sledding:D

here's me on my M8 153'

glad to see other people share the same addiction, i was out today in 4 - 4 1/2 feet of powder snow with a 8-9 foot base :eek: you jump off the sled and sink up toyour waist or deeper.

if anyone gets a chance to go mountian sledding, take it! and if anyone is headed out here to British Columbia my dad does snowmobile rentals and tours.
