its not, a 600 at elevation doesn't make enough power to get the speed needed to do the big sends. Yes it will jump good but the speed these guys are hitting features at now a days with the turbo R is double the speed of this thing and probably triple on an uphill feature or step-up. Plenty fast enough for me to hit a jump with but not the pros LOL

Oh? Does that look big enough for you? 600cc up on boulder in june...

Secondly idgaf what the "pros" do. As i didnt know sledding was a profession. It would be a fun SPRING time jump sled for me though....


3 times as fast,,,,yep Mnt sleds are only geared for like 100km?h lol and Step ups are for pussies, step downs is where you go huge....

Paul thacker jumped 300ft on a 600 FFS 15 years ago. Jesus murphy.......

Not enough power for an "aired" out bow tie in 3 ft of snow though. Ill give you that



Not sure exactly when 180s to dead stop, side panel landings became the thing to do. Right around the same time lbgt really took off im thinking though.


But Take me back to the sledneck days please

you can send a dump truck 300 feet if you set it up right not sure what your getting at. Point is this is a snowcross sled. Much better sleds than this for back country jumping. I didnt see Andreas using this sled for his 300 foot backflip.

His back flip wasnt even close to 300 feet lol it was 160. And He can use what ever sled he wants. What I was saying is I think it would be a fun spring time jump sled. For me..... Not sure what your problem with that is, but if it makes you feel any better Im probably not getting one lol

Jumping a sled is kinda like jumping a school bus though. A dirt bike is the ultimate jump machine, but snow is a little easier on the body for old guys . Extend the jump "career" out a bit longer


Heres a step up that would take some balls....

Ya what a novel concept. Who'd have ever thought of that, other than every sled manufacturer since 1968?

Would be cool if it was hinged…

It's about as thick and rigid as a crazy carpet. In the walk around above, you can see one of the tabs isn't inserted correctly.
Also, they're pulling it off at the end of this clip:

Those rails do look strong enough to land a Yamaha...
