Another thread with pictures from "today`s ride"

[kimoaj]

Hi guys!

I`ve used the same topic so many times so I had to write it like that.

This afternoon my brother in law and I decided to go riding, my sister also came along, my friend with the V-Max 4 also joined us.

The normal before we went photo

Brother in law got stuck, kind of tricky to ride with a passenger when it`s loose snow.. .

A shot of the Viper

I brought the ice auger, there`s a few lakes that we didn`t know were safe or not, there was about 50-60cm with snow, 30cm with wet snow and then 10cm with ice, nothing to brag about but we figured it was safe and it was.
We went to a place that felt like heaven for me. It was so much powder I couldn`t believe it.

I`ve never had as much fun on a sled like I had today. The Viper is a freakin great sled in the powder, if you ask me.. .

Proof of loose snow... I had huge trouble getting back in business here.. .

My friend with the v-max 4 got stuck in this little play-hill.. very steep.

We pulled the sled around and it slided down by itself.. .

My sister.. notice the reflections in the sun glasses.. .

Radio signal thing in the middel of nowhere.. .

I let my sister ride the Viper

I rode with my brother in law so I figured I could shoot some pics while being a passenger.

A photo of the oil adjuster thing on my brother in law`s MM.
It uses WAY to much oil, I measured 9.6mm between the gap.. (excluded the set nut).

Hmm I wonder if the pump is shot?.

Wellwell that`s all for now.. hopefully we`ll go riding tomorrow too.

I shot some film with the helmet camera, I`ll see if I`ll put some out on the net.

You need to start putting the Date in your Title line!

Also, I can't tell from your post or picture if you're checking the oil cable properly, so here is a thread to read:

Post number 28 has a picture from the manual that explains it well.

Hi there kimoaj!

Great pictures and I'am glad to see you're having fun with the viper!

I really like the helmet cam, it's so cool that you could capture (with the cam) your friends riding while your riding yourself

How much did you pay for it? What does the package include? Sorry for the OT, but I couldn't leave it.

Simon.

Hi everyone!.

Thanks alot for all the nice replies, it`s the replies that makes posting pics "fun".

Crewchief47 thanks alot for the tip, will check the url. Although I think I did it correct.. but I will check the thread.

SXTheviper: Thanks!. Yeah the helmet camera is cool, the nice thing is that if you adjust it properly then you know that everything you see with your eyes also get`s captured.

I payed about 2000nkr for it with shipping. It cost`s 4000kr in Norway.
I had a guy here at TYM ship it over to me because Viosport`s shipping was WAY to expensive. The camera costs 300$. Checkout www.viosport.com

The package includes a camera mount suited for a helmet, two sticky-pads for the mount (borrelås), a lens cloth, and some wires.
I have a Sony camera so I ordered a longer cable with the Sony plug.
If you want I can take some pictures of the content in the box.. .

Oh today I captured my friend with the Viper rolling to rounds.. .

 

[sxtheviper]

That's great! It was something like that I wanted to hear. Have you done it with yours?

That's not to bad, compared to the price in Norway. Aah, I see. I will check their site out, maybe I buy one closer to the summer.
I got a Sony too. Great cameras! Yes, if you could take a picture it would be very nice. Maybe it tempt me even more to buy one

 

[vibeline]

Cool Pics.
That helmet cam Fu#$ing rocks.
Post another link so we can see more of that footage.

Great video there Kimoaj! Love all the powder. April powder riding is the best!

[kimoaj]

hi guys thanks for the replies.

Sxtheviper: Yeah I did adjust it like that, if that`s what you ment. But I did put it to much forward at first, but after some testing I think I got it adjusted OK.
What model is your Sony camera?.

Vibeline: Thanks. I will capture some more film into the computer and make another little clip, right now.

Ike: Thanks. Yeah, it seems like we always have most snow up in the mountains in April, but then again we have less snow down at sea level.. . (we start at sea level).

Here are some pictures of the helmet camera:

The longest wire does not come in the package, I basically think you need one, will be fiddly with the stock short wire.

The sony type of plug on the longer wire (you need to specify when ordering).

My friend with the RS Vector MTN rides infront of me. You can also see his brother on the V-Max 4 with the 121" 2.25" track going up the hill where the viper guy rolled 2-3 times.
