A Revy Sled Bum's Tale: Another Season with Lilduke

[lilduke]

Wow, that picture is magnificent! The cloud inversions in the Revy valley just make pictures taken from the hills even more spectacular. You could start framing these and selling them. Our first trip up boulder and frisby, the views alone were worth the drive.

Thanks! I just have a cheap camera, but maybe one day Ill get a nice one

Kelsey will be happy u guys like her pictures too! lol

So the plan was to do some tree bashing in the Kirkup Valley today before I install my skid tomorrow and get my motor rebuilt the next day.
But the fawker wouldn't start... Good timing on the rebuild!

But my friend Riley came all the way from Kelowna to ride for the day. So I went and talked to my friend Rob Winder and he hooked me up a snow bike for the day!

Shameless plug: If you want to try a snow bike out call Revelstoke Snow Bike Rentals 250-200-0277 and talk to Rob.

He has a bunch of new Snow Bikes available for rental. They are super fun! I raced Moto-X for a long time so It took me no time to figure it out.

I feel like I was killing it on this thing and it was the first time Ive rode one... Ill be riding it again some time forsure!

PS: Snowed about a foot last night. Was pretty good today.

What kind of radio's do you use?

I wasn't too stoked to go riding today, as it was -17 in town! But it was supposed to be +2 in the alpine. Chanced it and what a beauty day!

We had a big group today of different skill levels,(in difficult terrain) but it was a really awesome group. Everyone stuck together and helped each other out.

But the biggest thing was everyone had radio's!! This is huge. For the love of god if you sled, get a radio.

Going to be installing the Raptor XM-Ace on my sled today. Pretty stoked to try out a coilover on this sled! Good bye torsion springs!

Did u ever install the heavy springs on ur sled??

Mine are the stock ones, have on 4

But I'm not sure if I really need the heavy ones, but think the stockers are getting weak with 6000 km on them

I couldn't believe how much softer yours was vs mine with the fat boy springs.

Frigging joke on BRP's part as far as I am concerned?
This should have been what came on the sleds 5 years ago. IMO
Nice set up and hope it works well.

There's a bunch of different ones that work. I think mine are for a summit but for two up with the linq seat.
