[Modman]

ported?

Ported oil??? Never heard of it Is that made by Redline?

no im wondering if your chaincase is ported.

if so i would just throw some butter on the chain

I ported my chaincase... For some reason it kept running out of chaincase fluid. Please advise....

I figured that out.....

I ported my riding pants and my gas tank, but a ported chaincase?? Now that's just being silly maxwell.....

butter on the chain and popcorn in the muffpot? mmmmmm, sounds like a delicious mid hill snack!!! would need salt though.....maybe in the bar ends?

Less fluid = Less weight....like duh!

once ported no oil is required.:d

But will that ruin my initail rotation speed on my backflip? I was thinking like 7 or 8 firworks pointed down on the back bumper timed just right owuld do the trick...

 

[maxwell]

it will.

i prefer to use model rocket engines

 

[T-team]

Can you send me the spec's on that? it looks far more advanced and more reliable than my idea... are those carbon fiber hose clamps?

Modman, If you are going to run with ported chaincase, I find it better to use carbon fiber chain and gears, Reduces rotating mass as well as spins quicker

On another note, Cody Bouchers does do backflips. He is from Calgary and is sponsored by A &E out of Brooks. He does backflips all summer at different events. He has even been down to Haydays to do a demonstration.
You should be able to meet up wth him and I know he would have no issues talking to you.

if you have to ask the price you can't aford it!

Its totally dooable for anybody, and proof in that is the first person to ever do a backflip on a sled. His name is Jim Rippey, he's a professional snowboarder who thought it would be cool to try one while out in the backcountry. His only real experience on a sled is like most peoples on here, he rode the mountains for fun and to get to spots to snowboard. He did the first ever backflip on a 2001 summit 700 with a 151 inch track out of a homemade snow lip built out of a drift. He scouted the area a bit to find the right drift built a lip and runway up to it and within three or four tries he stomped it. So don't let a bunch of downers convince u otherwise, just cause they never had the nuts or the will to push themselves to try different things in their lives. I say rip it, you only live once.:d

you got the balls to do one on your yamaha 4 stroke? go hard

maybe you should ride with some of us before you go saying we dont push ourselves.

For the record Jim Rippey's not your average everyday guy. Sure he puts his pants on one leg at a time but his stunts push the realm of sanity!!

As far as calling everyone a bunch of downers who never push their limits. I would personally like to be referred to as a realist as opposed to a downer. Snowmobiling is all about taking calculated risks and pushing your limits, whether it be in the mountains or on a ramp trying to do a backflip.

All I'm saying is committing to do a backflip is a serious undertaking. It requires a lot of planning, a lot of practice, and likely even more money! Just make sure you have enough nuts to cover all three!

 

[Modman]

downers - LOL

Let's be real for a second - were you there when Jim Rippey did the first backflip?? Was it really 3-4 tries - or more like 20? I saw the vid a few yrs ago when it came out and I'll be honest with you - that backflip wasn't all skill, so don't say that it was all rider and it just takes guts. Not taking anything away from that guy, but a good portion of it was "point it at the windlip, pin the throttle and hope for enough rotation".

Its always easy to say "gun'er" when its not you, if this dude's sled is a total write off after this is all over, is everyone who said "gun'er" gonna pony up $50 to help him buy a new one?

He needs to know the full story BEFORE he tries it. He asked what it would take, people told him, if he goes ahead with it that's up to him, but in good conscience most people cannot stand by and ignore the risks - its hard to ignore the fact that a 600 lb sled landing on top of you from 20 ft is going to do some serious damage.

The Jim Rippey's, Seth Enslow's and Travis Pastrana's of the world glamorize this stuff in video's, but in reality there is a lot more to it than the 30 seconds you see. Days of practice at the foam pits, hours of draining water out of motors when you are practicing at the lake, tons of broken parts, broken bones, etc.

You can say what you want about others not having the balls to push themselves to try other things in life, but just because they don't follow themselves around with a video camera to become a youtube hero doesn't mean they aren't out there - maybe you wanna check out my hillclimb bike?

This is a good vid he looks like he drops upside down forever never rotates all the way. I know if I tried a back flip I would most likely land completely upside down. The learning curve for that "trick" is a little to high for me. Travis Pastrana said its the hardest/easiest trick. Most of the flips are off kicker ramps. If you really want to try build a ramp find some soft stuff to land in and save up your sick days from work.

I'll be in a meadow somewhere with pow over the hood. But please video it I need stuff to watch when I'm drinking>:d

what kind of muffler bearings to you sledpros prefer for backflips? keep getting different opinions

If you watch slednecks 4 again you'll see Rippey hitting huge snowboard park jumps on his sled he has also had crazy sled parts in the TB snowboard video's he's more than an average sledder! it did take them longer to dig the jump out than get the flip done 5 tries was it! All I'm saying is if you have to ask random guys on the Internet how to do a back flip you're not ready! get out to the mountains start riding riding hard and you'll make friends with guys who ride hard too and if you ride hard enough you'll meet guys that can backflip then you can start to learn! also it took till slednecks 6 for Jay Quinlin to try another backflip on a sled he did get it but didn't have the same luck as Rippey he wound up in the hospital and didn't remember how he got there! it took another year slednecks 7 till anyone else tyied it!
