I can't remember the exact date, but in 1996 on a Saturday, last day of the preseason special, 12 of us are sitting at 13,000 ft, at a place we call VooDoo Creek. We are talking about sleds and the next thing I know, we got out the cell phone, call our local dealer and ordered 12 red Mountain Maxs. Went by on tuesday to confirm and all he said was we had a bad conection so all I heard was 12 MM was that right? We said yes, dropped off our deposits and watched him take the rest day off to celebrate.
2000 we did 8 blue mm, with 141 2" tracks.
We did get some strange looks back then, if we all showed up at the same time to unload and ride.
Me, I have owned 5 Yamaha's. The only one I did not love, was my 2003 RX1 and it's now history.
