They Doo!!!Doo they come in pink??
They Doo!!!
He doesn't like the vertical steering post....most doo riders (including myself) find it hard to adapt to.....
I hear ya..... I am a doo rider.....and everything else feels very strange. But they all work very well depending on what the rider is used to. On my old wreck(12 freeride) I would never stand the steering post vertical. As I only tree ride some of the time (thus making me uncool by Chris burandts and all the people who want to assure you that they tree ride within seconds of meeting you cause it's cool now) I find that the riser will move if you get stood up on a 60ft+ hit. I see no advantage to putting the riser vertical on these sleds. Just cause's instability. You can move your body weight in line with the steering post on a tech turn or side hill just as easy with the steering angle where it should be.When I went from my XP to the Pro it did feel weird at first, maybe about 25 miles or so. The vertical post is however much easier saving rider fatigue and helping handling. I won't go back to Doo until they fix it.
I am wondering how it is poke you in the balls school bus steering? To me Doo steering is break your arms, hurt your back and throw you down the hill steering. Especially if you stand the riser straight up like maxwell says to do.
$1000.00 bet, paid in $20.00 Bills. I can prove you wrong.

You could if you don't mind the bar ends poking you in the nutz with the school bus steering..
Damn.....Hey i forgot to mention if you ride in girly girl terrain it's totally doable on a pro rmk

Care to elaborate...? Inquiring minds want to know.

Do you see a motorcycle with vertical steering?
I prefer the steering post tp be angled towards the skis, (the things that make you navigate) not the gas tank..
Vertical steering keeps the bars at the same height when turning. an angled post makes the bars tip downward slightly on the inside turn side.
Stand on a vertical post sled and turn the bars... They stay in the same plane.
No I don't see motorcycles with vertical steering. I also don't see motorcycle riders with all of their rider weight on one side of the machine in a full counter steer.
By keeping your weight low and on the inside of your turn I can tell you are a bad ass trail rider who does not understand that when counter steering it actually pulls your body weight over the top of the sled and down the hill.
that makes no sense whatsoever.
When vertical bars stay in the same plane it allows the rider to maintain the sled balance point up hill easier because rider weight is not forced down the hill. It also allows the rider to simply pull on the down hill bar using the same weight required to keep the sled up the hill and counter steer requiring less energy.
Another nice thing about the steering on the Pro vs the Doo is they engineered the bars to swing a little bit more than the skis. This allows the bars to be almost parallel with the machine making the down hill hand hold come more toward the centre of the machine once again allowing the rider to keep more weight up the hill requiring less effort to maintain a side hill.
Bret Rasmussen uses a 2 inch riser laying horizontal toward the rear of the sled so his bars actually go up the hill in a counter steer. This is the exact opposite of what you are saying works best. Who am I to argue with Bret Rasmussen.
