I'm sure they did pay some good money for him to come over, and I say it is about time. You will be see him do even more amazing stuff than before. This is great news for polaris. Polaris is the deominant sled.

I'm curious why anyone would be "brand loyal"....the manufacturers aren't loyal to you, so why the love affair with one brand? It's something I've never understood.

Good on Chris for taking advantage of whatever opportunity was presented to him.

Good on Polaris for landing the biggest mountain free rider out there.

$$$chaching$$$$.

I heard he had to add a custom horn that went $$$chaching$$$$. That way everytime he gets stuck he can press it.....and remember why he is on a Polaris instead of his Cat

Hahaha, snap! Dizz I laughed so hard on that.
Thats the first thing I thot. "SELLOUT".
Gotta him credit tho, he is a Superstar.
I'm sure that BD will make it less of a downer to be ridin' the most underpowered and problematic sled.
And sadly all the "fans" will think their own pile will go like his T does.:(

Are we not all in it for the $$$$? I know I am. What ever makes Chris and his family happy is fine w/ me.:) Chris will be eating crow though since he did say that the M series was the best sled out there.:eek:

so lets go one step past Chris..What about the RTR if boondocker and Vohk are also moving on does that leave that sled run Done and over??I will just throw this out there maybe it going to be a new turbo company that get in bed with cat?is this maybe this is why they are moving brands??this is a huge move not just for Chris but for Bonndockers and Vohk?

Talked to Erik this summer at Alpine Motor Sports, he said that AC wasnt really wanting to work with the RTR program, maybe Polaris has a more open minded opion of factory turbo sleds? Alpine does stock both AC and Polaris so my guess is that the AC contract was nearing the end, and polaris just picked up Chris as AC let him off? My 2cents.

Tough blow for Cat, but if he were really going for the money he would have sat down with Doo. I have been hearing rumors that AC has not been doing well, and lets face it they do not do summer rec. toys as well, but then again we all know how rumors are....I would hate to see Cat go as the competition keeps everyone pushing to build better sleds. Aside from all of that Chris could ride a Rupp and smoke most of us anyway, but it will be cool to see him on a Turbo Dragon!!!!!!!!
