It was a vmax4 and the guy was from Camrose at the time. He was riding with Waldy. He said that was the first Stock sled to climb turbo.

That part of the story I heard was guys from the states with turbos came up and climbed it and getting the name turbo. I believe they were turbo polaris’s.

1996 670 summit was the first stock sled to go over the top at Jackson hole. I still have that on VHS! haha

I believe Bob Micku (buck lake bob) climbed turbo in the 90’s on a Forumula 583 with a plastic paddle track. I didn’t witness it personally, but I believe it.

Speaking of Cory what ever happened to him? Used to be huge in the sled game but never hear about him anymore?

Mark Thompson. Met him on MTC on the XP project back in 05'. I saw he still was climbing at Jackson Hole this year. His kids are a lot better than him now at his advanced age except for the one that crashed just past the start line this year lol.

It's funny how photos do no justice to actually being there!! I actually have never been there.

Who was Waldy? Revy local?

Yup revy local. Was a rider in the early sled films. Rode for Yamaha for awhile. Super talented and great guy. I will find some pics from back in the day.

Waldy's world

 

[Stg2Suby]

Yes I've seen that sign there on Boulder, also used to know a guy who's older brother was killed on Boulder in the '80s and coincidentally had the same name. Might have been Wally though not Waldy. Always wondered if it was a connection or just coincidence.

He’s still riding recreationally, and building 911? big bores and clutch kits for the Gen 4. Actually think he has an ad on kijiji for the big bore kit. Very talented rider, all around good guy and a great ambassador to our sport.
