One-Armed Snowmobiling?

[icandi]

I've only ridden snowmobiles a couple of times, many years ago, but I've been thinking about trying it again… The only thing is I lost my left arm in a motorcycle accident and I'm not sure about is whether or not it's feasible to ride with one arm?

Thoughts?

Don't know until you try.
I think if you do some mods for the brakes and take it easy on trails you might be able to.
I'm assuming you have a prosthetic arm. So that should help with steering.

I agree with some mods, you can do what you want with anything, there are many people out there with amputees and do wonders, Krazy what I have seen. I'm also an amputee and nothing stops me on things I want to do. Good luck and fill free to ask things. Good luck

do it for sure. It might be a struggle but in the end it will be worth it many times over

My buddy got a caster pivot thing made, he also lost his left arm

He tried a few different ways, finally found one that works for him

I knew a guy that had his right arm amputated at the elbow. Wears a prosthesis with a hook and has a round hook on the right side bars he hooks to. Throttle and brake are both on the left side. Rides a stock Nytro and gets around just fine.

Didn’t Yammy have some models with power steering?

Do you have a way to use the brake?

I've ridden with a couple guys over the years who did quite well with a hook on one arm. If you don't have at least this much going off trail would be challenging.

A guy in revy 15 or so yrs ago had one arm. Seen him whipping nutz on hard park with a vertical escape. 2 arms are for pussies air brushed on the hood. He definitely had one strong arm. Was great to see.

Could you post a pic of the caster pivot thing he got made up i ride with someone who rides with a hook (lost his right hand).

Don't have one, but I'll see if I can get one from him
