Favorite pranks on your snowmobile buddies

Last year there was a thread on pranks on your snowmobile buddies. This was my favorite thread. One prank we did last year, was we made a "slow moving vehicle" sign and put it on the backrest of one of our older and slightly slower buddies while he was sleeping. It stayed on his sled the rest of the weekend. We had a lot of fun with that one.

I know there is a lot of good pranks that were done to your snowmobile buddies in the past, so lets hear them!

We always like to put a small puddle of oil under the new shiny sled in the group. It obviously only works on the "new guy".

snobinge, I will have to try that one.
We have a pride thing going on in our group, we don't like to open the hood, unless we are just filling with oil, otherwise we get razzed from the other guy's. We pulled the spark plug wires off of one buddy's sled while he was still in the cabin. We had a great laugh watching him pull and pull, stuborn not to open the hood.

We have the same "Pride" thing going. The minute a hood goes up the cameras come out. We fill our oil under the cover of darkness.

We have many pranks that we do in our group...1. pulling up to a stop sign carefully drive ur sled to the back of one of your buddeis sled and tuck his snowflap up into his track with your ski (unless the guy has studs cause that'll just ruin his snowflap and you dont wanna be mean) if you can be skilled eneough to do it while moving (im the only one in the group that can do that lol) more props to you! 2. pull up to the right side of your buddy at a stop sign hit his killswitch and take off! lol 3. (my personal favotite) this works really well if you have a 1.25" or more lug track and reverse on your sled. If your stopped in a powdery area pull up to you buddy sittin on his sled like you are going to T-bone him throw your sled in reverse and pin it and you will bury your buddy almost instantly lol

Up at the cabin few years back one of my buddies passed out early. So we went out and moved his sled, then buried it with snow. He was ready to call the cops in the morning. So we had to tell him to go check out that snow bank over yonder.

1.) Years ago we all had the same sleds on one trip. We raced constantly whenever possible and although the cc's were all the same one guy's sled just ran better and he always won. At a gas stop we took some good old black duct tape and closed off about 1/2 of his airbox. When we raced again he lost and he couldn't figure it out. He was on the phone to both his dealer and A.C. bitching. We told him right before we loaded for home. He has been 'getting even' with us ever since. 2.) If someone in our group starts following too close it is always good to stop short for no reason about halfway up a hill. Whoever the tail rider is then has to stop - usually within perfect roosting distance. 3.) The kill switch trick is even more fun when going about 80 on a nice wide trail.

Take you buddy's sleds windshield off, take the door off to the cabin your staying in and have 3-5 guys lift his sled on it's side into the cabin. Put the windshield back on and reinstall the door.

First year with my Fusion, the guys had a pair of "elephant" underwear, with googly eyes..... if you know what I mean, which they were passing around to eachother. Well, they ended up on the front of my Fusion. Drove with it all morning long. Best part was, it ended up looking even better after if filled up with snow! Nice set of go-nads inside.....

I use the kill switch trick. Making sure we are on a nice strait stretchof trail, at a stop sign, or if the timing is right, right after my buddy has
just started his sled.

I was the one who started this post last winter. You fellows out there had helped me alot. One guy in our group always pulled pranks on the rest of us and it was payback for him. We don't think he will try anything this year after last year.
1. We had made special spark plugs for his sled, they did not work.
2. Lifted his bed glently on to 4 empty beer cans so when he went to bed he was surprised.
3. Left a spare boogie wheel next to his sled afterlunch, he did look at his sled for about 15-20 minutes to see where it came off. Well worth the wasted time.
4. Manage to shut off hot water while in shower.
5. We parked his sled across the street at a different cabin. Which he had belived it had been stolen. Had to tell him when he started calling police.
6. This is the best one of all. We paid a local bigger girl "she had a few teeth left" $100 to spend the night in his bed after our buddy fell asleep. Boy what a surprise he awoke to. Best money ever spent.

All of these pranks came from johndeers. I thank you very much. They might sound mean and cruel, but you have to spend a weekend with our buddy and you will understand why we did this to him. It was just payback for the many years of abuse he gave the rest of us.

I can't believe no one has used the gas shut off trick yet. We tried it one time leaving Foggys, didn't shut off till he went to cross 28 (bad idea). So we did it again in the morning before leaving the cabin. Also got one prankster who will get you whenever he can, paybacks, he got the hot water shut off on him. End of pranks that trip.

Years ago we had a friend that was so concerned about gas mileage he sold his 600 Polaris and bought a 440 Polaris claming he would save so much money. On our first trip up north, my buddy and I brought cans of gas with us and would sneak out at night and put a couple of gallons in our sleds, which were 600's. In the morning at the gas pumps he would come over and check how much we put in and it was always way less then him. It drove him absolutley nuts. He was changing plugs all day long and stopping at dealers and complaining. This went on all week long until our gas cans were dry. Never did tell him lol....
