I sent a set of shocks to Mike Carver for a revalve/upgrade and am making a list of shit I want/need on the shelf now for spares or otherwise, before winter rolls in and there's another parts shortage.  

Anyone actually get their new 2022 sled(s) yet?

How much will Wes have to pay, to rent that from you when he comes to race in the Midwest?

That horse banger wont pay... I told him hes gotta hold a sled out west for me to come get stuck on occasion 

Just slapped the tunnel protectors on.  Interesting epoxy method.  It eliminated the need for my small, metric adjustable wrench.  Still had to use the medium size one though.  

Waiting on my Stud Boys.  Gonna just use this track cuz I’m 90% sure I’ll be working on a different machine over the summer.

That glue was some strong shit.  Even with exhaust fan on it took a while to clear.

I woke up about an hour and a half after assembly...face down with my pants around my ankles.  Not sure what that was about?!?!?!  Also, pretty sure somebody vaccinated me while I was unconscious.  WTF @ArcticCat?????

Ordered up a few sets of C&A's today.  Mainly out of principle.

I’ve been looking at them going back and forth. I’ve always talked shit saying aftermarket skis were mainly for people that can’t set a sled up to turn. I’ve always liked how c&a’s looked though. But also they suck with 2 sleds in a clamshell.

So did I.  But out of necessity.  I’m so excited to get those sexy black things!  Gotta figure out the carbide yet.

I really want to try them but then I’m a sellout 😂 I liked them on all my friends snocross sleds. But mostly the whole sellout thing. And flying off the handle when my girlfriend runs over my $350 skis pulling in the trailer.

I’m a big fan of CAs. ,Skis, track, clutching.  In that order.

That’s my other thing I’m thinking about for the new sled. My buddy has a 1.50 storm on his XCR and another on his 20 limited Cat both studded. That seems like a killer track. The 1.375 on my 18 was a great track but idk if I can get behind these 1.25s. My limited 600 has an ice slipper on it and if you want to go over 7mph into a corner with any comfortability or confidence I do not recommend that thing. I just moved to an area with all seasonal roads and field trails though so I’m pretty sure I could go with a 1” unstudded track and stock carbides and be fine.

The problem is people put too aggressive of a ski on their sled for their sled, setup, or riding style and end up hating them, especially with C&A's.  

I wish I could still get USI's at a discount, but no dice, so C&A's it is.

Easy to do with CA’s for sure.  They aren’t for everyone.

They aren't for every sled either. They suck on a big pig turbo

Never ridden a sled with USI’s but I know a few people that rave about them. Curve is local to me I’ve ridden a few sleds with them too and they work pretty good but they’re pricey and really fucking wide. I can get a set of C&A’s for like 285 local with mounts. Might grab some black on black for my sled.

I came up with a way to deal with that.  Will post pic tomorrow.

Put a 2x4 under the last 2’ of one ski guides in the middle of the trailer. That way, one of the skis is higher than the other. We did that in a buddy’s sled trailer years ago because he always ran C&A or PP skis on his Cats.

Is it enoigh to not drag the front of the ski down the edge of the c&a?
