No worries. I'm just trying to gauge how big of a issue it really is. Thanks anyway.

They seem to be holding up well to jumping. If that helps out at all:beer:

If it turns out the Freeride is just a summit with shocks on it, the Cat might still be on the table.

Still researching.

Don't ask him if he's ridden one just get him one. You think a Dealer would be all over lilduke. Advertising and fantastic pictures of those cats on the mountains everyday. Win win for Cat...

Pretty sure a year or two ago Dan mentioned he could get a Cat free from a dealer, but he bought a Doo.

As far as sleds go, nothing is free in this world. But there is a few good sledding gigs out there that Id jump at given the opportunity :)

yeah i know that snow...almost quit sledding 2 years ago in that snow. 174 trying to sidehill the snow would build up so bad from being so wet it would no longer go forward. then it would be stuck and you couldnt flip it because the snow was so compressed and heavy around the sled....it was raining...i was wet and angry so i went home.

Nice if it was free though and I tried to set you up to get one Ha Ha. If you look back through your thread and look at the advertising that Doo has got, they have done well by you. Even Nikon gets a bit. 280000 views is a good stat in my books.

It occurred to me today... Whatever happend to Shadam? He used to represent Golden here on Snowmud.

i haven't talked to Adam since late last season. I'm sure he's still tearing up the blae though.

Probably doesn't have internet right now.
