    In golden with my 14 year old boy and need advice

    My wife was talking about there this evening. At this point we are just cruising the internet to see what the best option is. Would the riding area of Forester be about the same as Quartz?

    In golden with my 14 year old boy and need advice

    Thanks for the info guys. I think we will head out towards Silent in the am and give it a whirl. The radio idea spooks me a bit, but I guess it is just a good excuse to spend some coin on some new tech when I return home from the trip. I will be sure to post the findings tomorrow night when...

    In golden with my 14 year old boy and need advice

    Another thing to note that I just read about was the radio controlled travel on the FSR. Unfortunately we are only running BCA links and there are no programmed channels on them to be able to call the mile markers. Any other suggestions? He is pretty disheartened about having to head back...

    In golden with my 14 year old boy and need advice

    I was set on not riding Gorman. I was hoping silent would be a decent option, but I do not want to get to the fall and find out it is more than he is comfortable with.

    In golden with my 14 year old boy and need advice

    I have been reading about needing to poke up a waterfall at silent. Is this like a waterfall at Eagles, or is this something pretty tame that would be fairly easy to accomplish?

    In golden with my 14 year old boy and need advice

    Thank for the help so far, I really do appreciate it. We rode all of the meadows and even poked up to top of the world and Area 51 area. It sure didn’t seem to take very long to play out most of those areas. We rode the trees around the back side of the cabin and dropped back onto the trail...

    In golden with my 14 year old boy and need advice

    Hey guys and gals, I am hoping to call in a favour from you all by asking you to point me in the right direction. This weekend I took my boy to do his AST1 in golden. He has decent flat land experience but his first trip up the hill was Saturday morning to do his course. The course was...

    Driveshaft Twisted Off

    Could you have possibly smeared the shaft while pressing it out of the drivers when it passed through the press bed? I am just wondering if there could have been a previous imperfection that caused the catastrophic failure. Typically the hydro formed shafts are tough as hell. If there was no...

    Mountain Addiction tunnel bag -- Zipper Issue

    I have the same issue with 3 of my bags. I spoke with mountain addiction and you can purchase the outer shell without having to buy the plastic Jerry can base. It is a bit cheaper, but still not “cheap”. The good news is that they have updated their zippers now….. although there was “never any...

    Best place for AV gas

    Villeneuve flight center has a gate that is always open, and if it is locked they will give you the code so you can come and go after hours. The kiosk is a def serve set up so it doesn’t matter time of day that you are there. The hose is long enough to reach to your truck/trailer if you want to...

    Humorous Kijiji Adds

    even if lilduke did want to go I would guess he would want to get there. From your response to his message Ken I would have to assume that you are a Ford guy. This is very unfortunate news... if you need a ride just let lilduke or myself know and we can get you there with the hemi or the...

    shout out to McBride

    by far rep worthy. Thank you to all of you for all of your support. If it’s getting a sled off the hill or trying to retain our access to the back country it seems like there is no end. Again, Thank you to all of you who still keep this sport exciting and available to all. I can only hope for...

    Firewood sales

    we are in Seba beach and I can say that I do believe that some of the people would buy birch even for their outdoor pits. We obviously are not as well off in life as some of the other families out there, but even if we were I wouldn’t be burning birch outdoors just cause it isn’t priced how it...

    PIEPS Beacon Failures

    It’s kind of tough to use the supplied harness when wearing a vest. I have mine teathered into the transceiver pocket of my vest. It was the best solution I could find for quick and easy access to it at all times.

    Eagle Valley / Sicamous Conditions 2020-2021

    Anybody have and info about last nights search? The wife was panicking when we got the email asking for help with the search if we were available. I know she was found safe, but are there any details about how she became separated? My wife was grilling me about how I had better not ever loose...

    I wonder if Maxwell is squealing like a stuck pig?

    maybe they just need to be in front of a different tunnel in order to be as prone to failures?? I bet that is the issue. The moment the tunnel comes from factory shorter and narrower the engines just can’t hold up to the boost. Prior to the new tunnel these things have even been known to run...

    I wonder if Maxwell is squealing like a stuck pig?

    understood! Lol. OOC zig zag has made it very clear that his brand is the best and there will never be another that can step up to the plate. Perhaps a Polaris rider took his old lady from him back in the day and those thoughts will never be forgiven?? I don’t know, all I can say is some guys...

    I wonder if Maxwell is squealing like a stuck pig?

    I wouldn’t say that I am a doo troll lol. I am a Polaris guy who rides with both Polaris and doo guys. I think that this is a huge move for Polaris even if it means being the second one to make the step. As Ricky Bobby says “if you ain’t first you’re last” so I suppose poo is last.... I just...
