I'm sure my tek vest has literally saved my life or least a helicopter trip out on more than one occasion. Will never ride without it. Consider Grip & Rip braces after the rebuild. Could have saved you some damage.

Stabbed my brand new track within 30-40k. On the hunt for a replacement.

I wear a Rockgardn Flak Jacket, it was actually a mountain bike body armour, but it works awesome for sledding where there are hhigher speeds involved. Lol

Stripped the teeth off the supercharger belt on my Nytro. Boondocker box failed internally shorting out the ignition system on my M7. No damage on my sleds other than that so far, but one I just sold has had the front suspension broken twice on rocks and stumps.

I always, always, always wear chest protection!

Fractured a couple vertebrae in my neck and chipped 4 teeth in a little tumble in Quartz Creek on Dec. 2. Sled came out good, just a smashed Koso EGT gauge. Flipped the sled over backwards and the sob got me with the handlebars in that small area between your helmet and backpack. Bring on the 2013-2014 sled season, as this one was over before it began.

155x15 with 2.86 pitch, not to worried on the lug size, I will run competition track or a paddle track, doesnt matter to me.

Ps I guess I should add that I started the season with a blown top end as well. I have a fix kit in it now. Ive only gotten a few hours of seat time this season, they were fairly expensive break downs lol. They held up my build a fair bit as well.

^Sorry for your loss, I definetly wont be complaining about my down time. that one hurts just to see.

Took out the engine on my 2012 pro only has about 700km on it. It needs $2,500 worth of parts and dealer says they are at least two weeks out. They were good enough to give me a 2013 pro to use though while mine is being fixed on warranty so I have zero down time, thanks Cycle Works!!!

I did that a month ago. Not pleasant. Ordered lower leg / knee armor.

Also did that to the other knee last year, but didn't learn from the experience apparently.
