Time to stop upgrading for a bit and get an extra sled!!!
Truth is if I wanted to I could easly pay it off doing guides if I had the 2nd sled to rent.
One thing is for sure these 4-strokes are extremly cheap on gas in the mountains, easy to maintain, and they are built really solid.
My friends are spending 3x as much money to run there Ski-doo's its insane, because of this I found myself saving alot of money this season since switching to 4-stroke. And now Im getting closer to being able to afford an extra sled with the money I saved.
For such a powerful sled I really dont understand how Im getting such great fuel milage for the amount of time the needle hits the redline.
Apex MTN. was the right sled for me.
I knew you'd never regret getting the Apex MTX. They are such a blast!! Make sure and keep up on the front end bushings for the A-arms into the bulkhead, these are known to wear as well as the steering bushings.

the steering bushings have been my only issue since i got the sled. but when the front end is in the air most of the time its only really a pain on the trail.

Very true, and I'm really jealous of you now after watching this video with Chris Brown and Kalle Johansson in Whistler.

Im gonna guess 60 to 80 km uphill,not that fast, its the transition of the up hill jump that made this work all too well.
Accually, it was shot with a stabilzed tri-pod. It has a lvl. on it it was hard filming not to slide down the hill, it was pretty steep.
and No Worries theres a 15ft base, even most of the 20 ft tress are covered now, you can jump freely!!!!

HAHAHA.....you had to ask!!!....and you know I always got a story and pictures, to back it up. The RMK got sold this season. but we got a few Summits in the crew this year.
"Today I was asked(EX-polairs rider), Why do I ride Yamaha?" , Well at the end of the day its clear, its the reliabilty for someone that rides almost everyday, in conditions where the last thing you want is issues. "he said he was thinking of getting a Yamaha Sled, I let him demo my Apex, and He loved it despite the myths that all his 2-stroke friends made him belive."
2 sleds towed out this season so far, still on the 1st belt, I love my Apex.
