fawk this new site pizzes me off,, how the fawk you upload pics now

Settle down young fellow!

Click the button (there are still some working buttons lol) Go Advanced, under the Smilie button, there is an Image button (maybe icon is better) and that will get you started. It is confusing at first but not too bad as one gets used to it. Changed again.....Plan B

If the picture is on the Desktop I can upload it. Manage attachments, Choose File and bingo....

I broke clutch bolt off my sons 600 XLt about 10 yrs ago while climbing hills at Mountain park,near Cadamin..Roy Mathews( grumpy) pulled me back 30 kms at at least 50 kph,,pulled on the spindles,would ride it going down hills,and hop off going up,,was scarier being pulled by Roy than climbing those hills for first time..

my sled is our groups tow truck
We tie the ski loops directly to each side of towing sleds bumper . just flex the skies in
has worked great but momentum is key
have had guys following, laughing so hard ,as the dead sled is 4' off the ground
towed out 4 sleds this way and no carnage to either sled

the best and only way for me and now everyone else in our group...lol...is the SNOBUNJEE. so much easier on your sled and aids and assists up hills and through those nasty up and down tree trails. no more burning your belt off and no more hard hitting on your tie rod ends. seriously, got towed out twice now both WAAAAY back, once 20 kms back in the tains. i swear up and down on the snobunjee. it really works the best. the stretch and pulling power is unreal. they are easy to pack too. i have the hooked ended one. keep it wrapped around my handle bars. dont notice it at ALL. ch!t i even pulled a rx 1ton out last year! unlike ropes that give you no helping power and have no slack, when startin off on the deep stuff you often trench out. with the bunjee...not a chance. stretches out like 3 ft then without you trenching then the 700lbs of pullin power takes over and does all the work. its slick. this helps the belt, the yanking on your front end on the towed sled, etc. it works the best on hills. playing with the throttle while towing up hill activates the sling shot action again. helpin you up the hill. go thru creeks (the worst) a breeze. the guy getting towed holds the brakes while the towing sled goes down into the creek then up. while he goes up the other side the towee lets go of the brakes slingin u down and up the other side thus givin the tower to get up the other side without even having to tow. i will post a vid of when my dd shredded!

slick as ch!t! after that day, 2 out of the 4 main riders in our group bought one. hilarious.

if your in Sicamous......you can just call me......I use my turbo sled and I will have a skimmer this year for the big wrecks......I also have 1000 feet of rope and a honda winch that will pull you out of any bowl.....and fast! I'm cheaper than a chopper! I'm thinking about getting a VK pro for a second sled to tow with! anyone have one? just wondering how they tow with that 20 inch track?

overkill:

the Vk's are DEADLY!! back east i had alot of buds who trapped. the things they did to those sleds...unbelievable!! hi/lo gears i think they still have? havent seen them for about 5 years due to my moving to BC. but if i ever needed to tow my ice hut out (8x10 OSB 2"x2" stud, insulated, with woodstove) on the lake.....it did it like nothing. no spinning, blowing belts, and just cruise along at 25km/r across the lake (7 miles).

under seat storage is awesome too. its a freakin tank. all the linemen companies run them...... thats gotta tell ya something.

good luck mang!
