i don't usually go shapers because of that but i have them for the new sled because they were in stock and the woodys i like were not.  

I'm a huge fan of front end bite, and hated shapers.  Have had great luck and phenomenal control with Woody's Executives on stock and C&A ski's... or as the tards on Fecesbook call them, skies.   Best price, and fastest shipping... fucking Amazon.



 

Magic has been performed, look forward to getting it all back together. 

If anyone needs a guy that is meticulous, particular and just does shit right, pm me for his contact info.

At one point noone wanted muscle cars or vintage bikes either..

don't remind me, when I was 17 I had enough $ saved to buy a triple black Hemi Challenger in Milwaukee I found in Wheeler Dealer (wonder how many remember that monthly periodical) and my dad wouldn't let me buy it because it would f-up his insurance rates and it was a gas guzzling muscle car.  about a decade later when Mopars went through the roof, he admitted he was wrong.

I did not.  My phone is fucking up and I no longer get audio on FB videos lol so what is so special about them?  I was never a fan of those jags though.  Too soft.  Not on the prowler chassis!

just funny how some of the unwanted sleds, are now wanted.  these aren't old muscle cars or vintage bikes... no one wanted most of these sleds just a few years ago.  guy I grew up with went nuts this past summer buying up old Indy's, sold most and kept the cherries.  

btw, is your video above supposed to play, or is that just a screen shot?  

you see this?  https://fb.watch/3pO69BEmLc/

amazing how all the old Jags came out of the woodwork this winter, and for that matter a lot of cool old sleds people have been sitting on.

Covid = bad for America - good for vintage sled hunters.

If only there was a light bulb expert on the site?

this guy's probably not an expert either...

The aftermarket hid/LED tools are losers who think they look cool and everyone else on planet Earth thinks they're a tool and are easily identifiable as having a pos that was too broke to buy something with factory hid and is running China aftermarket junk.  Faggots and they're all the same'types'.

IMHO....

I like when they take pictures of the headlights with one LED and one Halogen and 'show you' how much brighter they are.  Brighter, maybe - better, not a chance.

what's up with all the LED'tards putting LED bulbs in housings designed for halogen lights?

they don't actually work better

they can't provide a focused beam

they throw a brighter light all over the fucking place

they can't melt snow off the halogen housing lens

they don't belong in a housing they weren't designed for

and, I'm going to bed... rant over.

how bad is winter here?

drove to Madison today to go riding

on the way down south at a rest stop was a jacked to the sky Ram 2500 Cummins rolling coal complete with a sled deck and RMK with every bro'wrap decal you could think of

on the way home at a gas station south of town, guy pulling a newer unstudded Procross on a Fleet Farm-ish trailer with a newer 4cyl Mustang and a wiring rat's nest hanging out of the trunk

strange dichotomy between the two

did not see @Badger** though, he must've been beating his meat.

Yup.  Takes too long to go around the outside with a sled.  Much lower corner speeds in Snocross than

SX where you would have two viable grooves to run.

The real shame is we could have been watching them at the X Games this weekend.  Some of those tracks were epic.  I know logistically it was a nightmare of a race but man was it fun to watch!

This is a good and proper SX track for sure.

should be mandatory that every SX track must have at least one right turn... rather than bumpy nascar

glad this shitshow is over

Ishoe looked good
 

anyone know what happened in the sport class crash?

they showed our resident tech inspector

wonder how many corn dogs were in his coat pocket?

I think Kamm Benham and Logan are going to have good rides, and Rennheim

is it getting worse every year or am I just imagining this?

which part of you are being allowed to legally trespass on private property as long as you stay on the fucking trail don't people understand?

or, is it that they just don't care, or are uneducated?

one of our local clubs had to post this...

people (assholes really) will kill this sport long before global warming does

That was always a classic and remains one.

Run the numbers

5HP down

World record ( from 10 years ago)

Official event not a back yard event

 

am so bored I took my sled out to the lake for a shakedown run - felt about 4hp down, didn't recite any poetry.  lake riding is sooooooo boring....

edit, there was a guy with a 146 Summit out there, on an inch and a quarter of snow.  didn't see a backpack or shovel, he was unprepared.

IOW...if it's all about the hole shot, just call the winner after the first 200 feet then run the next race.

inside and outside lines in the corners would help immensely - last night they had a funnel at each end of the track

On a track like that I say, widen and flatten out the corners.  Allow for racers to go full bore into them to see who can pass on the inside and/or hold the lead taking the outs.  Rolling into those mountains of mess in the corners made for poor racing.

who are we to complain as they all have to run the same track, but imo the track sucks.

go to the first post in this thread and look at that track... it had more than one line riders could actually use.

very happy for Jacob Yurk and Nick Zandstra

Kamm too

odd not seeing a Doo on top the box, but it wasn't a Doo track today

the dog shit on the track

no outside high speed corner, odd lines and everyone is monkey see/doo - 68 would have carved new grooves

anyone else see the yellow lab behind the start line trying to find a spot to shit?

the berms are like, 3-4ft deep

Kody Zambrowski had a nice ride
