DEEP POWDER VIDS - Turbo Apex, Turbo Nytro, Turbo Rx-1

Nice vid Nate, but did you really have to put where you were at in it?

Did I put it in there somewhere? If so, I didn't mean to - where was it?

EDIT: Nevermind - I found it. I just may have to repost it without the AutoTitle Page.

Thanks for the video, and very nice. You can certainly tell on the first hill taped, the chute to the left is quite long and steep. It certainly made the turbo bark a bit, right toward the top. I'd say that is quite the hill. Also, certainly the last hill was very steep, although not long, I'd still have all I could handle going up that hill in any sled, turbo'd or not.

Thanks for taking the time to post and video.

Happy, safe sleddin'

Sweet Videos!!!

I have never heard a turbo make a weird noise when you let the throttle off like the one does in the videos?? (red Sled I believe) Just wondering why it does that??

blow off valve! it allows the pressure a way out and keeps the pressure in the intake track from reversing the flow and going back out the turbo inlet, or bark! bark is more of a woof woof, fluter sound and it will stop the compressor impeller from rotating and can brake the shaft of the turbo!

Yeah, I hear that compressor surge (or "bark") isn't too good for the 'ole turbo...

I saw your pull on youtube - NICE!

Location was Notellum, UT - freaking amazing.....as for the light weight T2 - not just no, but HECK NO! The Apex isn't the solve all end all, but it is by far the funnest all around sled I have ever been around for reliability, power, deep snow performance, etc. Now when it comes to hardpack - let's just say it is left severely wanting.....

But why would you ride hard pack when you can ride the snow conditions in those vids, right?

90% of the vids it was running 11-12 lbs. The last video it was running 14-15. BIIIIIIIIIG Difference!!! And yes, it wails nicely!

Nice Vids....some great pulls

Wow...love to see videos like that. I need to pack my video camera more often...but I usually have my regular camera instead.....I did laugh a little that someone was worried about Tony's being posted.....don't know about the rest of you but it isn't a secret!!!!! There are only a certain amount of people that could really ride up there anyway....had one of the best days of the year up there in January....was honestly the deepest powder I have ever ridden in my life....over the hood literally!!!!

again great videos...

Nobody said it was a secret. But if you have a sweet little fishing hole, do you tell all your friends, and there friends, and strangers at the store, where its at?
Not if you want to keep a sweet little fishing hole.....
