Hi guys!.
I`m just wondering if there are some websites about snowmobile riding techniques?.
Today I for the first time in my life made some real nice riding-with-one-ski turns, and I also know why.
Last year when I tried to ride with only one ski, ( only or mostly rode left turns) I put my left foot on the footboard, the right foot was either on the seat or sticking out behind my left foot.
Today I watched my friend doing awesome one ski turns on his RS Vector MTN, he always smiles and calles me a wuzz when he sees my one-skiing, but today he told me to put my right foot on the left foot board and to keep my left foot out as a ballance weight or maybe letting it drag on the ground (so that I felt more secure in the beginning). This worked really well and I was really happy. However, making right turns seems harder
.
Aslo when it comes to side hilling, you can either ride "normally" or you can ride with one ski in the air, but do you have the guts to do it the "hot" way?.
I often hesitate when riding on one ski which leads to a loss of speed and then I have to make a new attempt... gah.
I`m also curious on jumping off cliffs and stuff.. where to position your body/legs etc. and how the different sleds behave in the air.
By the way , I ride a 1999 SRX 700 136" 2" .

SlederSteve,
Is there an English side of this sweedish web site? It does us no good if it's all sweedish.

Its all watch and learn man. Ive been ridin since i was 8 yrs old on my own sled. and i can ride on one ski for the longest time on both sides and jump and do powder etc. Its a great sport all you have to do is basically experiment for yourself. Watching and learning also helps. My heros are the boys from slednecks and Turn again Hardcore. Ive learned a ton from watching them. also my dad races sleds and his best friend does too so i learn alot there aswell. Youll learn more then you think you are aswell. it may seem like "oh there isnt much to learn" but everytime you go out youll do something new and better.
