Coldfinger and I watched an Tapex roll down the left shoot on Saturday. I got it on video and the guy said he wanted me to send it to him. I must not of got his email address right, but I did get in touch with a guy that was with him and he would get ahold of him. Maybe someone else will recognize who it is if I post it here. I wish the quality was better, but oh well. It works the best if you have headphones on so you can hear the crash when it hits the first rock. Hope this works, first time posting a video from photobucket.

He was one crazy mofo. We all felt like we owed him some money just for watching. Ouch!!!

My guess is there aren't too many T-Apexes from Cheyenne that rolled down the Widow on Saturday. I'm sure he will be visiting the local Yammi shop real soon for a "few" parts or more, so that may be a way to get word to him about where to get a copy of the video.

That sled is at the yamaha shop in cheyenne, ask paul in the service dept. if he will pass your info on or maybe you will get lucky and he will tell you who it belongs to. I know I would like to see the video!

I wrecked my sled on that hill(not on the steepest part though, just up the middle) on March 1st. Got lucky, just kinked the tunnel, broken windhield and I lost my handlebar pad. :)

I'd post it but I don't want you seasoned mountain riders laughing at a flatlander like me. :eek:

Dude those marks he was cutting by, were Cameron Chementi of 10 High's marks on that turboed rx-1 we thought he was going to do the same thing! I saw those marks over the rocks after being there Sat. on Sunday, when I was showing my buddy the marks Cameron made, sick video, how bad was the sled?

The sled was pretty banged up. It hit the rock on the left side, destroyed it, crushed the bulkhead, snapped the ski, ripped off the A arm, and exploded the primary (never seen a clutch look like that). The bars and gage pod were ripped off, but the turbo looked to survive. After that roll, they finally got the belt off, he touched the starter, and she fired up. I was pretty amazed. I don't remember much else, tunnel and such, but it was all in pretty bad shape.
