Always inspiring to see guys who aren't afraid to tempt natural selection...

Welcome to Jackson Hole Wyoming ,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keeping head trauma and spinal cord units in business since 1964.

I happened to notice that the vast majority of the landings weren't shown. I wonder why?

Snowmachine riders are the fastest growing segment of avalanche deaths in the US. Highmarking is a perfect way to set of a slab avalanche. Already there's been quite a few stories of riders getting buried and dying in the backcountry.

The reason is because they don't have the culture of avalanche education that is so prominent in skiing and mountaineering. I think that's starting to change though.

Some of those cliff hucks are insane.

Part of it is because they can cover much more terrain than a skier, as well. More terrain, the more likely to hit something unstable and less likely to stop and check the slopes.

My type of skis, the kind with a throttle.

Like that last one, I guess he wanted to commit suicide.

wirsig...I was expecting to see you go down a mountain in that thing you are sitting in!

Sure was some crazy stuff there. jg

That is one thing I love for sure!! My Sled has more horse power than my AIRPLANE!!!!

Nothing like 300 Turbocharged Ponies at your thumb!!!!

I don't know if I told the story on that. A buddy and I decided to build a supercub so he finds this guy who says he's got a fuselage out'n the shed that's rebuildable. When he gets up there w/ the money and trailer there's not a tube on the thing that hasn't been bent, ice split, or spliced, this thing's had a rough life. Anyway he talks the guy down to a couple hundred dollars and drug it home so we can atleast have something to set in and make vroom vroom noises while we're welding up the new one. He's got a beam crane there in the shop, we were thinking of chaining the thing up and taking turns riding it around

I'm pretty sure that some of the footage in the vid is taken up on the pass out of Haines. I was up there last weekend and a bunch of yahoos had a ramp set up that was so steep it would have forced a back flip.

Being older, wiser, and more breakable I just kept going to where the sane people were riding.

Poor old Polaris had to be towed in, lost a bearing in the bottom end somewhere.

Your kidding right? I've chased those things in northern Wisconsin with a helicopter across frozen lakes so I know they will haul ass, but 300 ponies? I thought my bike was quick with half that power.
What kind of engine, and whose turbo kit, because that can't be stock.

Oh yeah,
I need to talk to you about peanuts, because North Carolina ain't where they come from.
That's worse than buying your picante sauce from New York city

I ride with "The James Gang" at Outlaw Motor Sports here in Enterprise, Or. They build the badist Yamaha sled's out there, Most of the Apex kits are Boondocker Turbo's but the Nitro's are Impulse Turbo's.... They build them over 400 Hp on the bottle and are a blast to ride. There are a few other great kits out there like Bender and a few others that I can't remember... If you want more info check here http://www.outlawmotorsportsinc.net as for the Nuts .. well that ain't my department..

I just want a tow up into the mountains so I can ski down, can we work that out?

Yo Zane, if you are ever around the Tahoe area I'd be more than happy to give you a lift by sled up some of our secret stashes.............
