holy crap wook up and there was 4" of snow so i called off work along with a couple of buddies that also called off and went ridding. Wow what a day!!
first thing to go wrong was my clutch spring broke after a 50 mile ride. I said screw it lets go. so we contiuned to the bar to get some food and frosty beverges. on the way back there was a crick that u have to cross and i kinda went into the deep lol. It was still running as we got it out. Then we went to are spot we call it the pit which we jump and i ran into a tree. put a couple of scratches on it but not that bad. Then we found a stream that was flooding about 10ft wide and 3 feet deep so we started water skipping the long way over 300ft!! i went a few times and made it no problems along with another freind which has a srx700 that had no problems then another freind that has a 95 vmax went and soon as he hit the water his left ski dug in wraped around like a u!!
his sled fliped end for end he went flying into the water head first. after we found out he was ok we laughed are asses off then it took over 2hrs to get it out and found out it bent the frame and broke the hood along with the bent ski. By this we were all soaken wet and cold but it was just one of those day which i will remember for a long time lol good times!!!! i like reading stuff like this so lets hear yours!!!

I never thought of NOT hitting the gas when I got near water! The old "when in doubt, throttle out!" is true...
well after talkin to him he said he was full throttle we think what happen was the plastic ski separated in the front from the ski and drug him down
but on a good note we found a 95 500 vmax for 500$ thats nicer shape and if every thing works out we will just switch motors and ill try to buy the 500 motor for my 79 enticer
