racinfarmer Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 The cattails in Warroad were always a surprise every lap. If you picked the wrong line, you'd smoke muskrat mounds or frozen chucks of ground. Different lines would result in this. Overcast was always the worst, especially on the first lap. Never knew what you were going to find. Ditches up there could be pretty wicked too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) If it is from Warroad, it is in the cattails heading back to the Casino after dropping back onto the lake. Edited November 21, 2022 by racinfarmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video of that sled bottoming so hard off a tiny jump that the headlight pod sunk down into the hood was just a weird camera angle. When the Lester’s say the suspension is good and not to soft then you KNOW it’s not too soft. The problem is the rider is too fat and heavy. The Polaris Ambassador’s will also assure you that the sled wasn’t too soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are selling a turbo 2 stroke trail sled. No one has done that yet. Their evo sled was way before the blast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaris has totally innovated! They came out with the game changing, terrain dominating Pro-Ride baler rear skid in the fall of ‘09. Oh wait…. Polaris came out with a laid backwards 900 twin in ‘05 that had the intake and exhaust on the *same* side…oh, what’s that? Just like Cat. Huh. Polaris has belt drive! Polaris has a cast chassis that is glued together! Polaris has a really fancy $1000 gauge that lets you text and take calls from work while you are out riding. Polaris didn’t have a 4-stroke until this year because they are super gay. Polaris came out with a 900 twin cause that’s not been done in like 10-15 years. Polaris sells really expensive kits so you can convert your perfectly good dirt bike into a half ass snowmobile. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
