A little video of me, my brother(sledneck84), cacsrx1 and another friend riding in the Snowy Range over the weekend. Just got back yesterday. Mostly semi-hardpack snow but still an awesome weekend since there's tons of hills to climb(and wreck Polaris's on). 6:40 shows what happens when you don't turn out in time.

The Mountain Max in the video is for sale BTW. Tons of aftermarket goodies on it.

So how bad is the Polaris damaged? Looked like a fun trip except for the damage to sleds of course.

Not bad at all actually. Very minor damage compared to the carnage that looks like took place in the video. Tunnel is kinked about 3-4" where the extension is riveted to the tunnel, should be able to straighten it, there's no sharp bends, just two curved bends. Broken windshield, broken choke cable, lost handlebar pad(couldn't find it), broken LED taillight(I bought a different light for it anyways, FX Nytro LED taillight). That's about it, I'm going to look it over again good later though to make sure. Not even worth an insurance claim if nothing is seriously damaged.

Doesn't sound too bad, hopefully the tunnel isn't too hard to straighten.

Ya hopefully not. I think if I take off my tunnel extension, clamp a block of wood to the backside of the tunnel and hit the outside of the tunnel with a rubber hammer a few times it will straighten out.
I'm open to suggestions if anyone has straightened their tunnel before.

I knew somebody was gonna say that. LOL Just got the Nytro taillight in the mail when we were already in Wyoming. Looks like it will work and look great though. Haven't tried the stands yet, still waiting on my rear spools.

Glad your alright shortstop20, in the video it looks like it rolls over you. Did you get hurt?

Nope, I never got hurt, no bumps or bruises even. The sled was only about 2 ft. in front of me and to my right when it went end over end.

Couple times..............more like 10 times. LOL The trip was really fun. I just wish we would've had the video camera on the first time I went up the mountain without any trouble.
Here's the new video, I must've accidently took some parts out of the first one, so I added them into this new one.
