Good stuff! We'd really like to see that sled/ drift/ ravine shot. Bet you can do it again tomorrow, make sure to take pics.

I'll post some pictures when I get back home! It was another amazing day! I've certainly broke in my new sled. Those baby trees are like a magnet to my front bumper. It was definitely some technical riding today (for me atleast). We had to navigate some Creek beds and definitely found some traction rocks. Our guide Nate even had to break out the saw!
It's a 100 star rating up here!! I'll never be able to ride trails again. This is an expensive addiction...
Welcome to the club! Can't wait to see the pictures.
You got that right. I rode IA,MN,WI,MI,SD,ND, Manitoba and Ontario for 15 years.....Then I went out west and it was all over
Since that first trip west I made one last trip north in about 2005 and have made about 55 trips out west. Get ready to put some miles on your truck and some $$$ on your bank card. Eric
***The one pictures shows my engine temp of 3 degrees F... that was right after I pulled it over.
It sure was a fun trip - best vacation ever. All I will say is it was great having a guide, it allowed us to truly enjoy ourselves without the constant fear of "how do we get home".
After looking over my sled once I got home, we came away pretty unscathed. The M1000 ripped the right front suspension off, but the rental shop fixed that, I had to make some JB Weld modifications to the hand guards, and the M8 of the trip had an exhaust issue which we were also able to fix.

Jacob, thanks for sharing those pictures! Great to hear and see you had a blast. If you want a hand guard that lasts try the enduro bike style guards they use, like the Cycra Probends. http://store.cycraracing.com/ceremo7ba.html
Jacob - Great pics, and sounds like you had a good time. 3rd picture on the second set you posted............., why was Nate riding the M? He said he was gonna give the Pro a try this year. Saw him tagged on Tog's FB page sitting on the RMK out of the crate last week too. (Not set up yet, changed mind, ??????)

How did the Assault perform? I thought that was by far the best looking sled at the spring shows. Love the colors!
I'm not real certain went he was on the M8... It sounded like he also has a "personal" sled for "personal" use. Maybe that's the RMK? Don't ask why, but he had to drive my sled for a little while and I drove his and it sure does have more power. It did require a little more effort to turn though.
My Assault 144 a pretty decent. A better operator could have made it look a lot better. I did struggle in certain areas where the snow was especially deep or steep. If a person was serious about Mountain Riding and only wanted to do that, I would not suggest buying the Switchback Assault.
