Thats Karma, you put that much effort into cosmetics and you are running stock shocks and a-arms?

I bet you have a pierced tongue

It is a sexy hood though

well finally got pics of the sled... just made the rig for the skis took like five minutes, 4 screws, two little straps, and 2 other straps for the skis at the end stole the idea from a sled i saw at ads in ogden, way easier and cheaper then a xrack or any of those things.

'04 AC KC 900. Picked it up last night. Going to rig the ski racks tonight over some beers.

Ill be moving to Nelson this coming September, any sled skiers around this area or the Kootenays. This is my first season with my sled but I would hate to not get to use it next season!

**fivefourtwo** · 03-02-2009, 12:06 AM

Well Im waiting on ankle surgery and cant ski until next season it seems, in the meantime ive been sledding when I can. Still a jong but learning.

Late season sled stoke!!!

You had better adjust your clickers cause my 700 made it just fine.

I'm putting a 162 powerclaw on my Nytro for this season. Don't have any direct experience yet but from what everyone says it's a great track.

What's the best price you've found on it?

**PROVO** · 09-15-2009, 04:42 PM

I can't wait to get down like this. Here is my brother in what was the longest face shot I have ever seen:

lets hope for a big winter!!!

**GoNads** · 09-15-2009, 06:58 PM

That's a beautiful photo...

And yes, sled faceshots are as good as skiing faceshots. But you get oh so many more on a sled in a day, and you're sitting on 160+ hp of fury.

**NSOutWest** · 09-20-2009, 05:55 PM

So what would I be able to get for around 900-1000$? Not much in Kijiji for less than 2500$.

Maybe a piece of shit roller (no motor).

Blurred-
Ran a camo challenger on my last sled. Great track and really durable. We trench to the rocks around here early season and I still didn't tear a lug. Found it (slightly used), on snowest. Paid 250 and it was already ported and fully clipped. Cheap upgrade IMO.

500 but that was through a local tractor shop that also happens to carry random AC parts. There's a thread on snowest about where the best prices can be found.

**FutureHermit** · 09-22-2009, 02:49 PM

pretty sweet i guess....

**FutureHermit** · 09-22-2009, 02:54 PM

Man o man all this talk of sledding is giving me a semi. Only about 6 more months till we see snow this year in Whistler at this rate. It's 30 degrees today. Zoot allure!!!

**Loon** · 11-04-2009, 03:27 PM

Bout to pull the trigger on a "new" 2009 summit everest 800/154. Going to be my first sled, will be used for sledskiing in AK. Any words?

"More throttle"

That's going to be the answer to most of the questions that pop up in your head.

so true. got my first day out on the new sled and i need stop being a puss and grab some throttle when im trying to make a move.

**rainier huck** · 11-04-2009, 05:55 PM

GoNads - All that jumping is no way to show respect for your machine. Treat it like a lady, son.

FutureHermit - I just orgasmed in my pants a little bit.

I wish I knew how to put pictures on the computer. I would show up all of you little shits.

**ACH** · 11-04-2009, 06:03 PM

Dooood...

GoNads ain't no son...

Stick around a while, you'll figure out why.

Loon, throttle is your friend, it'll also be your worst enemy if you are ham fisted with it. Trenching an 800/154 is easy to do. Stuck sucks.
Just give yourself plenty of opportunity to just to go out and ride and figure the thing out. It's not as easy as some people make it look.
