First Ride of the Year (dialup warning)

[MtnMax600]

Here are some pictures of our first day this season. These were taken at Blue Lakes, CA on 12-03-05. Snow was nice, better then I thought it would be but still some sketchy thin areas with rocks poking thru.

Nice. What are the specs on that blue mm? It looks like a 162" track?

 

[MtnMax600]

Its a piped 700, reeds, clutched with a 151 skidoo skid, not sure what else. He bought it like that.

Is it me, or do I remember the skis? Nice pics, but what happned to the helmet? I and a few others I know have hurt themselvs just "goofing" around, and would'nt want that to happen to you.

hey, in the spectacular crash picture, is that guy peeing in the background or just warming his hand's up?

Nice pics.I wish we had snow and hills like that here.

 

[MtnMax600]

Grape, yes you shoud definitely recognize those skis! As far as the helmet, that was not me, I wont even get on my sled without my helmet. I also started wearing a tekvest this year. No more broken ribs for me.

Gerby, yes he peeing. We all had a good laugh about that when we saw the pics. What timing, huh? Here's what his goggles looked like after his face smashed the handlbars.

Great pics, I agree with Grapeape about the helmets. Wish we had snow still waiting for the first ride.
