02sled Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) I have heard belted jackets are making a comeback, maybe even belts for the one piece clown suits. Edited February 21, 2017 by 02sled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what it's all about... See too many people start their kids on full size sleds. In the back of my mind ( what's left of it ) I'm think NFW!!! Shit can happen real fast!!!! And I don't think many parents can run over 20 mph.... To catch a kid who's scared and won't let go of the throttle. My boy's started with Kitty cat/ Moto ski mini snow/ 440/488 fan indy/ 500L/C indy then Edge 600's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And move up from there . We both have what's left of our minds , and look like the right part survived . Its crazy , putting a kid on a adult machine , and that's when the bad news stories come out and were all labelled . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticCrusher Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 My boy was riding this when he was 8. J/K. I got him a 2001 380 Formula Deluxe when he was 9 and by the time he turned 12/13 he had outgrown it. Wasn't fast enough. Lol. They grow up quick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boy's started with Kitty cat/ Moto ski mini snow/ 440/488 fan indy/ 500L/C indy then Edge 600's A friend of mine didn't have the cash to buy a mini sled for his kid so he let him ride his sled around their proprtty. His solution though was to limit the throttle. I believe he put some sort of a clamp on the throttle cable when the kid was on then took it off for himself.

The ET 340's had a copper sleeve that the throttle cable ran thru. As they grew take the sleeve off and cut it down. The sleeve height would stop the throttle. Each winter the boys made sure the sleeve height was smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostynuts Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Kinda thinking puzzler could use a couple of doses of that stuff, since it does such a great job of cleaning you out. Might allow his brain to be more open to colors other than yellow. Edited February 21, 2017 by Frostynuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I like all colours..... but whatever I ride, it has to work. As I've said before, had pretty good experiences with Doo. And they're Canadian. Kinda thinking puzzler could use a couple of doses of that stuff, since it does such a great job of cleaning you out.

Aren't a bunch of the BRP sleds made in Mexico. So you don't work for Bombardier Aerospace Edited February 21, 2017 by 02sled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBD does not really compete with Boeing or Airbus, but rather Embraer and there is no country more protectionist than Brazil. Fuck them.

Puzzleboy Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Bombardier Inc. spun off BRP in 2003 to raise capital. It is now owned by the public, Mitt Romney, and Bombardier/Beaudoin family members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
