Thursdays are the best time to ride here, that's when the best fresh groom happens ummm….Wut? Thurs/fri/sat grooming here depending on conditions. Fun and fast to ride if you can get out there right away. I rarely do though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All the hp in the world isn’t gonna make you faster there. I don’t care for lake racing same as I don’t care to ride at night. Correcting after the fact sucks vs. being prepared for what is coming up. We took off a couple of years ago from a sled show and grabbed a handful in poor vision conditions. I saw my buddies tail light go airborne just in time for me to say, “Holy……” and brace for launch. We cleared the double plowed fish house road and both stopped and took a second to reflect on our idiocy. There’s a reason more sled deaths occur on and around bodies of water. Well, two reasons I guess. One starts at the lakeside bar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Must have hit a rock or a frozen dirt mound, i was so damn tired i could hardly hold onto the bars. Can't believe i didn't destroy the sled Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caught a log or tree branch drifting a corner on the river and flipped it. I could've parted it out right there on the riverbank lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those that just run them into an inanimate object…pffft. Lazy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AK440 18 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 101 on the Indy was hauling ass through the bumps. The brake whine sounded cool! Funny how the so called “outdated” Procross chassis was very fast in the bumps and looked like it rode better than the other brands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would be fun though but, still hard to set expectations with a busted up body. None of us are what we used to be. It’s humbling but, I wouldn’t go back and change shit!
