Lets play a game.

Most people dont understand how attack angle plays a factor in sledding. Heres what were gonna do. Measure from the center of your spindles to the end of your track. Give the measurement state your sled and track length. Lets see your findings. Measure straight back not at an angle.

Nobody has a tape measure?

shallow attack angle = no fun. straight up climbs only. heavy on the skis, skis stay planted. good for those into climbing i guess

How do you figure more track in the snow isnt fun? Why are they making 174s?

Are you familiar with trenching?

 

[maxwell]

174s with steep attack angles are still fun. a sled that doesnt wheelie has no fun factor for bouncing through the trees

To compensate for lack of skill. I see 163s making it at 1/4 throttle on their first poke where we used to take all day at full throttle with 121's.

Wheeling is gay.

Whats your take on the wheelie at the races?

ive always inspired to ride with a group like yours. sit and poke at dangerous hills all day. sit in the cabin when its socked in because you dont know how to ride anything else.

its bad, thats usually why i get 2nd place instead of first. but for some reason in your case aparently last?

For this to have any meaning, shouldn't you also have driver to ground distance, and spindals to driver distance.
I like having a good attack angle. Also set my skids up to have 1-2 feet of ski lift while climbing. Prefer to rely on power and track speed to lift the front end out of the snow instead of an ****ty attack angle.

If your skis are 1-2 feet out of the snow you missed the boat.
