Awe yes Waldy Petrowski(not sure on spelling). Met him on our way up Frisby on our 85 plus's!!He was concerned his sled may be to noisey so wanted us to go first. Lol. His pipes exit right out right side belly pan side. Quite a few years ago.

Found some old pics from June of 1995. Waldy and his buddy( was the butcher in Revy). What a weekend. Waldys Mach was loud but this climber he built was insane. Probably the only 600 to climb the 90.

Now that brings back some memories!! We were a bunch of young seasoned cut line riders from Alberta when we met Waldy in parking lot!Or I should say on the side of the road at west side of dam cause there was no such thing as boulder frisby lots then. I recall my buddies and myself on road trip out Bragging how we were going to kick ass out in hills lol. Then we met these guys unloading???Wow these guys are serious we thought. Something I'll never forget! Another guy that caught our eye was Kevin Fleming, these guys were very good to us helped us flat landers every step of way. Been going ever since and now my three kids are seasoned mtn riders. It's all Good!

I always thought Waldy was a mythical being that only appeared when you were in an area you had no business being. Lol. He was an amazing rider back then no doubt.

Ya he had that sled up at his cabin at Emma Lake in north sask when I was a kid. My grandpa was married to his aunt for like 10 years, used to go spend time with them around christmas up there

Number 99 from the oilers had sleds but no time to ride. I was at a grass drag race in edmonton where Dave Manson(oiler defence man) bought the winning Doo in class A from a guy from cold lake can't recall the model it was 1994.

Corb lund brings his sleds in here to get serviced

My brother rebuilt his motor in his tour bus. He showed up at his shop on the west end of Edmonton on his dirt bike! Not a street legal bike but a ktm sx!

I met the lady from the city Ford commercials sledding.

He has a chunk of land on the Pembina river south of Barrhead. He was going to build a cabin on it. He had all the wood and stuff sitting there but some azzhole came and stole it.
