[SummitREV156]

felt like a summer ride

Sun was out snow was soft great ride met Bigbull and Skadi hope we ride again it was fun. Skadi is a cornice jumping chick, I think Griz has some good shots of her maybe he will post them. It was good to see everyone again. looking forward to next weeks ride.

Here's a sequence of hardass' big chute. Nice pull!

Snow camp was a blast as always, can't wait for next year.

 

[GrizTrack]

More to come tomorrow.....

This one says it all, Skadi...you are a great rider...don't let this one get you down, you are lots of fun.

Good times today, sorry group I wasn't into dropping into that pit.

Clint let me know what you hear on the sled.

Another pic of hardass' chute...

 

[JOP]

Nice climb Larry! Where was that at? In location of droping in from the
1st ridge.

 

[xrated]

No, that wasn't a 509 shirt. I was holding up my 509 goggle bag.

X, just punch her in the mouth and tell her if she doesn't settle down you will do it harder.

I'll try that, or maybe kick her in her belly!

Your still a poser!

Man does poobrew have anything left of his sleds? Bunch a camp robbers!

Skadi, that looks painful, how's the neck feeling?

Nitro you out there?

 

[SAWYER]

nice pics everyone. I haven't even looked at my camera from saturday

 

[spring snow hero]

skadi, by the looks of that pics, you might need to step off the front limiters...looks to be a bit nose heavy if you're gonna crash do it on film!

hardass, nice poke.

ragged, I am proud of you. its been over a week since I've seen a pic of your sled upside down against a tree

 

[Polarisrocks]

We all had a goood day al bloom yesterday. We got to see medstar fly in to pick up dean swan that crashed from hitting a rock. He flipped over crashed breaking his forearm messy compound style.
On another note, the cornises are breaking off in HUGE chunks...

 

[Ragged]

Now thats a dismount!!

WOW...Skadi...that looked like it would leave a mark...ouch! You did that droping a cornice??

Hardazz...Thats a pull buddy!! The 1200 seems to be enough to getter done...Looks like you made the right decision on what to ride last fall.

RMKris....NO DAMAGE BABY!!...heck...it we still runnin a fasing down hill ...all I had to do is get back on and ride away...lol

Looks like the weather is moving back in...windy 49 and raining at the house this morning....Im gettin spring feaver...thached the lawn yesterday

Justus...glad to here nobody got caught in that avy...It woudnt be pretty in snow like this...

Poobrew...looks like your sled gave its life so that others might live...see I knew you had a spirtiual side to you...

Ragged

 

[SilverGriz]

Nice photos everyone. Skadi I hope your feeling OK this morning. That looks like quite the tumble.

 

[Hardass]

Skadi i have;nt seen one of those lawn darts in quite some time, there classics you know. yes the cornices are big and heavy looking, and the snow is getting wet and heavy. i was suprised we did,nt see any breaking off but glad as well. tons of snow left.

That pesky 1200 does not like to stay put in the chassis, by the time i was heading back to camp saturday i could reach up and lift the motor right up, hard to beleive i could even ride it back to camp. i guess its so heavy it just stayed in place ragged glad you and xfl could make it it was fun fun fun in the sun.thanks for coming up and checking out the camp. Boy it feels good to be home though.

 

[Skadi]

hahahahaha, dang, ya, that looks pretty painful!! there was one where I was COMPLETELY upside down, that must have been on my second flip, I didn't realize I flipped twice! whooo-hooo, style points eh?! hahahaha!!

Ok, the story: I was lookin at it from below watchin a few of the guys hittin it, they were hitting more to the right and though it was bigger to the left there were fewer tracks so I thought the landing might be softer... i haven't dropped a cornice ONCE this year so apparently I was a bit rusty, maybe I shoulda thought of that BEFORE I decided to go big!!! hahaha! I didn't walk it before, I knew the line I wanted to hit but I did't know quite how it looked from above. it looked bigger than I was ready for and that MOMENT of panic and lack of throttle F#CKED me royally!! Anyway, next time I will work up to it, pratice a little bit and get used to that void, I wasn't ready for it and I froze...

Ya, I rag dolled pretty good. Chewed up my beacon and have a bruise in my stomach from that. My knees slammed into the side panels and breake one -which is ok cause I wanted some black ones anyway! I have four knee caps this morning due to the swelling! Yikes!! My head hit the snow pretty hard on my first flip, I was a little foggy and had a headache. I'm still a little sore today but no concussion or anything... Thank goodness for my years of rugby to give me a strong neck and head!! sled should be ok too and hopefully next week I will be sporting new side panels -with venting!!

Again, it was soooo nice to meet you ALL, Larry and Poobrew, thanks for the tour around your back yard! Ragged I will call today but I may hold off on getting the mini, some of the waork was done Sun while I was out thrashing on my body! Clint, sorry about your luck of WHERE you broke down but I hope you get a new motor out of it! Hymark, yup, I want me one of them 860's with the drop and roll and clutching dialed. That thing was EXACTLY what I'm looking for!! A little more a$$ for the super steep long pulls but still the 800 for that zippy motor feeling! Whoooo-hoooo!!!! Whatcha doin this summer?!?!?

 

[NITROSKIDUDE]

Nice pics everyone, and thax for the props. Josh. Good ridin with ya all again, Some has been so long I feel I had to get to know ya again

I only have a couple ofpics of our group yesterday, due to the fact My vcamera only seems to work with out the memory card in it.

Here they are

The group

Skadi's swan dive

The clean up and wipe herself off

On another note I had me a chance to get back on the 860 mobilE, and i must say it is the chiat , A big Mini WWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO must go out to this machine.

So I imediatly decidedcthat the RT will, is and will be for Sale until it is Gone. The Love hate relationship between me and that machine are over. I evwen tought about it all the way home yesterday, AND ACTUALLY GOT EXCITED ABOUT IT BEEING GONE, and i have now made my decision. Bye Bye..

Yesterday was the the big tester day on what would sway my decision. and the Hymark machine is way more fun to ride. So I will be big boring the REV, And puttin the 174 on her now.


So IS THER ANONE OUT THERE THAT WANTS FIRST DIBS ON HER.

 

[Coedeez]

Good to get out again Nice to meet ya Skadi, I once heard When In doubt throttle it out.???

Brady nice pics look foward to seeing some of them.
NItro, Dtrip, BB, Agent O,
Good to see all ya again.

Clint bad spot to break down buddy I will say that was a valliant effort trying to get it out but I don't think its gonna happen without a new motor.ya almost made it to 3000 miles.

Josh that 860 rocks nice pulls by the way.
