SVT MXZ XRS Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Ouch That sucks At least you're ok :bc: Sleds can be fixed Kid rolled his and fucked up a few things on it Mostly just cosmetic, besides the slightly bent steering stem. Easy fix Glad he's ok He was following to close and got into my snow dust It was a learning experience for him. I saw the whole thing happen. Scared the fuck out of me because I was expecting the sled to roll on him. Once I knew he was ok, I was furious because I just told him 10 minutes prior to stay out of my snow dust so he could see.

I use to think those were a waste unless you were doing SnoX , Hill climb. Then I met someone a couple weeks ago, who was in a serious snowmobile accident. If he was wearing a vest, he wouldn't have had to be airlifted to the hospital, and spent 3 1/2 weeks in there recovering from his injuries. I ordered 2 509 back Country Tek Vests for myself and my son Edited February 6, 2017 by SVT Renegade XRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodtick Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Just a FYI. I buy my kids the Fox moto X vest. They are about $100 new and easy to sell when they grow out of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I'm sure if George was wearing one, his injuries wouldn't have been anywhere near as bad as they were. He's lucky to be alive. Almost bled out right there on the side of the trail. 2 hours ago, Woodtick said: Just a FYI. I buy my kids the Fox moto X vest. They are about $100 new and easy to sell when they grow out of them. My son is 16 and he's 6'3-6'4" about 245-250#. I got him a 2X. I think he has the straps adjusted all the way in so hopefully he can wear this one for a long time. Hopefully he doesn't keep growing like he has the past couple of years. SMH growing to damn fast. He's already shot up past me over the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worn one since 2001, there was a guy at the motel Saturday morning gimping around with a knee and a busted up shoulder, he hit an icy corner and went of a 20' ledge, the TekVest might have saved the shoulder and the ambulance trip to the hospital.

Scary for sure. I was riding with my kid and a buddy down at the lake. We were making runs down the drag strip. My daughter got mixed up in some ruts at the end of the strip from some asshole out there with a truck. Flipped her right off at about 70 MPH. longest 1/4 mile ride of my life. She was in shock, laying on the ice, I was scared shitless. Ended up with a broken arm. On 2/5/2017 at 9:04 PM, Ez ryder said: after I woke up and tried to get up is when I was saying that lol .

Glad it wasn't It was at night, I thought it was going to be way worse. All I could see was the headlight going end over end. Seeing her sprawled out on the ice was heart breaking. She got right back on it next year, but after that when we rode, it was just us. I let her go along at her pace, where she didn't feel she needed to ride hard to keep up. Had a new found respect for families out riding too, where before I would get impatient that were not moving along fast enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
