That was painful to watch.
They don't remember, "wide in and narrow out" at the gates? LOL
You can tell those guys aren't used to transitioning from one side to the other and riding "one-ski" all day.
I remember the days....

Stick an adhesive handwarmer on each side of it and cover it with something so it stays there. LOL
Wire it into your existing system.
I attached a blue tooth speaker to my mountain strap. I like sidehilling and i also like the brakes and throttle, so my hands stay where i can grab the throttle and brake at any given moment. Once u learn to ride without the strap, u will wonder why u ever used it.

You are awesome!!!
Years ago the kids would rest their helmet on it and end up falling asleep on the long boring trail rides.
this has crossed my mind, i think over the summer i will look into it more seriously.
The "mountain bar" is the first thing to come off my sleds. Once you get used to controlling the sled with your hands where they're supposed to be, you'll never miss it.
Guys seriously try taking it off and ride for about 2-3 days, just try it please! I garuantee it will make you a better rider. You will hate me for the first half of the day or so, but after a couple days you will figure out how to side hill and get sled up on it's right side the proper way like you do with the left side, because you are forced to do it all day without the grab bar on.
The mountain bar is nothing but a handicap, it is the exact same thing as training wheels on a bicycle IMO. I would have never believed it for nothing until this year I rode a buddies sled for a day without one. Just try it and give it a chance

Can you explain to me how having and extra hand hold is handicapping my riding? Seriously?
Just because the mountain bar is on doesn't mean it's used to sidehill to the left (right side). Its used as I described on slightly off camber sections where you want your weight on that side, but don't want the sled tipped up

poo riders could bolt one to their engine for easy removal.LOL

It sure helps when rocking it onto its side when stuck......
Seriously - some of you guys are hilarious. I would keep it on if for nothing else than tandem riding if needed. Or as a good helmet holder.
Anyone who's even a 1/2 decent rider obviously knows it's not for sidehilling....that is not advanced knowledge.
Yea, I think I'll leave mine on. I rarely use it, but it's nice to have if you need it.
I have had more than one situation when everything has gone wrong and that's the only thing I could get a hold of when everything is airborne and I'm moving away from my sled. It's not like it hinders your riding. It's not like removing it makes your sled perform better.
Some of the super extra good riders are trying to make some kind of statement by removing them. If you feel the need to prove that you're some kind of badazz, go ahead and take it off. That way everybody will know what a super extra good badazz rider you are.
If you left them on, nobody would know.

Seriously, Just try going seatless for ONE RIDE. You will Up your game and never go back to a seat again!! Go one further and leave the metal bracket attached to the tunnel so you have something to run up your a$$ when you try to sit down that reminds you to STAND UP!!
So what many of you are saying is that a mountain bar on a mountain sled is about as useful as a receiver hitch on a Chevy!
