Ahhh chit, did not mean for the negative rating.

I should have added given the snow is deep.

Some sleds carve well downhill, some don't. The AC does not...at all. Easy to see why though...the front sides are big square cut outs with suspension in them. Nothing on the chassis to float or support the side carve downhill. The doo is shaped with tapers on the angles which float, not grab, when they contact. The AC grabs and shoves the front away from you...is simply the geometry.

n16ht5 have you done a skid relocate? the stuff i read about '12s is scary. cat has tweeked so many things since then. even the bend in the rails right? i dont think i understand the complaint because ive mainly rode dropped case '17+ cats.? anywho hit me up sometime if you wanna ride kittitas county sometime n16.

can you expand on the skid relocate?? I haven't seen this. I don't go that far south, but thanks for the invite. if you come north let me know. 425-320-8973

Went out Friday, used your guys tips.. what a difference. Yeah, feet in the toe holds, counter steer a lot more than I would on a Doo.. worked great. Still panels out like poop when you lay it over too hard though.

i cant because i have no experience, but have seen it come up a lot when i google proclimb stuff. google proclimb skid relocate. maybe these guys can tell ya more? im not sure if its something for sidhilling or hillclimbing tho, again just throwing it out there. theres a mod for the steering also that sounds like a must on a 12 for more countersteering also. kmod sells it i believe. also called the wyo steering mod. check it out. nice lookin sled tho, maybe if you bought it with the skinz front end and such it could already have these upgrades?

Difficult to downhill carve or not, you've got a pretty winning sled/photographer combo!:first:
