Riding another guys rut is.....well, kinda Gay

Back in the day when 100 hp was "IT" we ALL did it gaining an extra 3-4 feet on every pull was hot....Now with 200 hp there is no need to track poach....in fact if you do then you are either crazy or have a death wish as these high hp sleds need LOTS of fresh snow to slow them down....This from a brand new nytro turbo rider...poaching a track gets you going way the he11 tooooooo fast and scares the crap out of me...................02
So did you get the high mark or not? What is the difference if you use tracks, rocks, dirt, trees or other debris when establishing high mark?
If a big dog motor with HP leads the way to the next good thing, poaching is OK cause you need to get out of the hill to get to the "secret bowl".
If you are trying to beat your buddies "stock" 800 with your "stock" 700, and you track poach, then you are riding the short bus to the highmark.

I think that half of these men??? who are already making excuses and the season has barely begun is sorry.
for example
Trackpoucher Its all legal! If I beat your mark and follow your trail till the last second and than get stuck ABOVE your mark, Well, I guess I am better and higher up than you! BTW, I wont need to cheat with my new XP bad azz sled anyway. C-yah sukahs!
AdrenalineAddict - weak motored sled (anything other than a turboed something)
Chief - my sled is a '04... THIS ONE WAS MY FAVORITE. hahaha
everyone thanks for keeping me entertained over here in the desert. i will be home in 2 months to ride

Second thought...it's like hitting the same girl as your friend did 5 minutes ago...totally ok...
Long story short. Clutch hole an crank snout must be PEERFECTLY clean b4 install. No grubby fingers etc touching mating parts. Torque to spec. Run motor. Rettorque.
Dirty parts from oily hands etc can slip (under load) on the crank snout and slippage is one thing that makes them a mother effer to get off. Its almost like they weld themselves on there. This can also be caused by incorrect torqueing of the bolt.

Is it poaching when you go up the down line?
It is a much nicer line, you don't have to deal with their trenched crap and it works.
We call that move "coyote". Smarter then your average dog.

if you are riding a 137" crossover, and I have had to help you get unstuck 75 times that day.........start poaching !!!

It's not my thing though I am thinking of it. I enjoyed all the comments. So funny.

if a poo even makes it close to a hill,they are allowed to poach it.
The m1000 that poached my line last year (and couldn't catch me at all) would be pizzed if he had to make a fresh line. LOL
I don't mind when someone poaches my line. Just means that it's open season after that first one. And if you needed to poach my line to beat my mark, then I'm gonna blow past any mark you put up by poaching too.
I like the Coyote line, I'll have to remember that! I do it after 1 or 2 times climbing the 'UP' line. Way better traction!
I absolutely cannot stand when a guy poaches my track, then comes down thinking he's that cats arse. That grinds my gears to no end. There's one customer I had in the past that would pretend to be throwing punches at me or anyone else as he rolled down the hill like he just knocked us out. He became the laughing stock pretty quick but continues to do it. It's like he's immune to his own stupidity.
Then there's those survival days when you're trying to build a road more than get a highmark. I usually like to nominate only 2 or 3 people(who know what they are doing) for this task as they know not to get stuck where we are laying down the road. But there's always some arsehole who thinks he's helping and gets buried tits deep pointing straight up and down. And he's the one with a shteating grin on his face. Those are the times I decide to climb right on by and wait at the top without offering assistance. I can't be bothered by stupid when I'm riding. Really frustrates me to no end.

poaching track is a vital skill
If your only skill is to draw homo rainbows in the kiddy pool I could understand giving track poachers a hard time. Otherwise this thread displays a lack of understanding of travel in big mountain deep powder conditions.

If those are the conditions you speak of and your group is trying to get somewhere, then I absolutely agree with you.
But if you and your buds are playing on a hill for the sake of playing, and you still hold the same opinion, then I have to deduce that you must ride a 600 and hope one day to jump into the adult pool instead of doing circles trying to avoid those homo rainbows.
Step back and ask yourself what conditions/scenario others coming from instead of generalize every post and group everyone as being childish. Your post comes off a little hostile, I know a lack of pow can do that to me too, but chill out a bit maybe.

Its about downhill ghackers
Thats all we do. You live where I ride (Coastals, Coq, Sicamous, Revy) so you know how it is. Not being hostile just poking fun at the chest beaters... To me it is all about putting in the uptrack then riding downhill lines. But all types of sledding are a hoot.

not only do I track poach but if I can hit your kill switch I will openly do that too, what ever it takes to win.
