I seen handbars snap off a sled.
I seen a Yamaha being towed.
I seen a throttle cable stick and wrap a sled around a tree.

I seen lots of guys skipping water (I had to be in one video so this is the one).

I seen a guy (accidentally) hit the kill switch while skipping water then recover without sinking.

Nice vids, the first one made me sad but the others were great! You Venom sounds badd A$$ too, is that stock exhaust?, sounds better than those twins. They sound exactly like my 77 elan 248 twin with a custom 3" stainless exhaust, must be the rotax engine, haha

Really impressed with how well your sled ran water, we really got to bust the myth of ymas not running water, even mine runs it!

What kind of camera are you using?, cuz the quality is awsome. Is it a D-camera with a video function or a DVcam?, just curious cuz my DVcam blows chunks.

BTW, I got to go out east again, looks WAY too fun.

Ya, thanks to TY I did the silencer mod in the Tech pages (drilled a 2 inch hole in the baffle plate). It sounds great and the sled ran water fine. Actually the MXZ 600 was sluggish in the water compared to mine.

I have a Canon Mini DV, ...never had a problem. I used the regular Windows Movie Maker and it worked out fine.
 
Good videos!!!

Thanks for sharing. Always fun to watch stuff like this. ;)!

Just curious, what do guys carry in the back packs I see them wearing in a lot of the videos?
 
Those were great Vids. Now I'm depressed,... the season is over.

We had planned on having a cookup in the woods. So I had some splits (i.e. wood) and paper to make it easier to start a fire, an axe, kettle, food, water and a half dozen beer. We meet up with some other guys and didn't get a chance to have a cookup, oh well. I'd rather be sledding anyways, lol.

What happened that the TORS did not work - bypassed?

Don't know much about TORS. When he pressed the throttle, he flew back and took the handlebars with him stretching the throttle cable which made it go full throttle. He was lucky to bail off the sled when he did, ..within 2 seconds it was all over.

same thing happened to my buddies 99 mtn max, he was in some powder playing and leaning off the side when the steering post broke cable pulled the throttle wide open and into the trees went the sled!!! When I had a 99 mtn max I put about a one foot shaft down the steering post to prevent this, It seemed to work fine.
