    Thought I was done riding.

    I just noticed in the 2024 Doo catalog that the Edge comes with the 34”, my 23 was 36” I changed the A arms to the 34”.Was curious if specs are correct?

    Ken Block RIP

    The wheelie king sleds is not a new thing,seen a few Mod Sleds with power close to factory turbo‘s sleds 25 yrs ago.The big difference now is short tunnel and the desire to get video for all the social media.Some videos look like it’s staged for the camera, some of the vertical stuff that...

    When you say old guys boosted,I’m assuming your talking turbo sled and not energy drinks 🤓

    Its Heads Up Time

    Yes went east from lodge,some BIG COUNTRY there.Got to see about 15 acres fracture beneath me and resembled cottage cheese.That didn’t last long as I hit a 3’ staucwall full throttle few seconds after deployment and was unconscious for the rest of the ride.

    Thought I was done riding.

    Yes the Gen 4&5 are the same,a friend kept his 18 summit X and switched it to his 23 Expert.My hop over‘s aren’t as aggressive as they once were lol! On occasion I will switch sleds with one of the guys for the ride out,they enjoy riding on the “Couch” and ride there “Bread Loaf” back to the truck🤓

    Thought I was done riding.

    Haven’t done day trips for decades now,usually 3-5 day rides trips. On my 23 Edge narrowed the handle bars 3” and installed seat from my 19 summit X,did not care for the bread loaf seat that came with it.I sit more on the trail now that I’m getting older,especially on the long treks when trail...

    What sled to get for under $10,000

    I ride with a young guy who had a 2017,engine failed at 67 km full warranty complete drop in.At 2700 km same thing full warranty complete drop in,he was really impressed with belt life as he was on original belt.

    Silver Tip Sledder’s

    Rode in the trees for over 30 years,it’s so rewarding when you gain enough elevation what’s up top.Had the pleasure to ride with a handful of guys to lay first tracks on a few mountains in the Valemount area 🤓

    Any of you guys into bush whacking with no guarantee of reaching alpine,spruce needles down your neck would be a sure bet 🤓

    How come so many Doo 850's for sale?

    That’s funny,Ive rode quite a few of those.Signage should go up at every riding area, Do Not Enter without Turbo🙂 I may sound like the History Channel but here it goes.Jimmy Kuster( may he RIP) was riding in in Westridge 30 years ago on his wife’s 340 Indy Lite with big paddles and came across...

    Less sledding buddies to ride with

    Still ride with a few of the same guys from 1986-1993 but quite a few don’t ride anymore.I try to get 20 days in the mountains each winter,a lot of us travel alone or maybe 2 guys in a truck.I never thought back then I would travel a 1000 km to go sledding.

    2024 Polaris

    I had great success running a Mod 488 Fan Cooled ( don’t laugh that thing seen some amazing country) from 1993-2004 that Jim Kuster ported,had high compression,over sized carbs and ran premix race gas.It was only on a rope once in that time which was my own fault.On one occasion I held it full...

    2024 Polaris

    These are young guys in good shape,they thought they would perform close to aftermarket turbo’s but fell short.Different power deliver between turbo&N/A with each excelling in different types of terrain and conditions.
