Took a buzz up and down the power lines and saw the trailhead was packed. People getting in their last jaunt or two. Good to see you,re back riding. Did you ever figure out why your engine blew up ?

Hard to say exactly what caused it but for sure the death blow was a ring grabbing a port. I think something caused it to squash over the locator pin and that’s all it took. I very well could have started the “muck up” by running it way harder than I should have the ride before. I’ve been through all my “should have/shouldn’t have” list but, it doesn’t matter. Just the way it goes sometimes. I think this was my last ride of the year, wanted to burn out the race fuel. We got six inches of fresh but everything is just a damn sloppy/sliding mess and rocks are popping the carbides which makes it especially annoying. I can’t get much traction with my new ride’s clutching but, think I’m real close for next season. Lots of different nuances in this sled to get used to. Can’t believe how different the front is. Gonna be a fucking brat and a half on the trails next year. Yahoo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted March 30, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 30, 2020 A lot of background and whatnot in the beginning of the video but they do rip on it at the end...badass sled and rider......

Maybe an XCR would be better? The cockfit felt like it wanted you in one spot and moving around felt weird. As you know with the Procross, the harder you run it the better it works.

I've owned both and the axys takes body english so much better then the pc. And it definitely doesn't have much body roll and ski lift compared to the pc either.

By override I don't mean beat the shit out of , it takes that just fine. I meant put more effort into it then what is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt the same way but, similar to your point....and to be fair, I was on somebody else’s sled on their suspension set up and it wasn’t a top end “rough trail” model but still, yes, a very comfortable sled while sitting and just riding at decent clips but, awkward and tough to get it to move at speed and up throttle in the trash and corners. And “trashed corners”....forget about that. Just let off the flipper and make your way through. It’s almost the exact opposite of the PC set ups I’m used to. Hammer hard and it’s sublime. Try to ease your way around the trash and just cruise through and it sucks. Newer models are sounding like they are more refined though.

Hmmm....that wasn’t the feeling I was getting. I was on full lean trying to throttle through it and I kept feeling like I needed to keep jerking the sled my way to keep it from throwing me off the opposite side. It’s too fucking tall. I bet if you were standing on the opposite side of the corner all you saw of me was my boot heel and two hands on the grips! ‘Course, I’m only four and half feet tall so, I can just barely see over the riser pad anyway.

Seems odd, he switched it out to the thicker one on his xcr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sled was a big reason I went with an RR approach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
