That's funny stuff Frosty. I think Indy's first mod should be painting it green and put a "M" decal on each side. This should make it more reliable. Anyone need any pop corn? :)

I cant wait to see that purty new sled wrapped up in some brush/trees! Good thing Kip knows what replacement parts to keep on hand. LOL. Indy, look for a set of take off a-arms on snowest to keep on hand, I bought a set last year for 250 bucks for all 4. They are very expensive from polaris.

If these get wrecked I will be tempted to purchase a set of alternative impact 36" arms for $450.

Looks very nice!... With all that track you should have no problem breaking/packing down the trail at the swamp north of the grain bins in Greenville like you did 2 years ago.

Nice video Ezra, I think I'm going through withdraws of my sublime green ditch pickle being gone!!!!! The 15 can't get here fast enough! Indy, watch that video, Ezra is now the new MacGyver of the northwoods! Can rebuild a whole Poo with some bubble gum and twigs! :D

did it bend or just pop out with all paint intact on tube ?
all 4 guys I ride with with pros have come unglued at least 1 time some are on 3 and 4. every 1 the tube is painted where glue should be stuck .I believe 1 kid with a 2 buck pipe cleaner would solve the ungluing issues.
now 1/2 the guys I know have a hole drilled and sm bolt through every glued arm joint .the other 1/2 have replaced with the timbersled SRA replacements .think they ask 450 but getting for around 340. nice set up cuz u can still swap in oem if in a pinch
I am the last to judge on bending arms don't think a season has gone by that I have not had to replace 1 or both sides. I bring a set with on every trip.

Yep, the scorpion is one of the best ever captured on video.

Nice ride Indy! If you haven't had the Walker Evans setup before, I think you'll like the range of adjustment and trust me, you'll soon love the ES.

Just think, it was only a couple of years ago or so you were riding an XC short lug/short track and had never been to the U.P. Look at what you're riding now - major sled hardware. I'll be disappointed if I don't see a WY sticker on it by the end of the season.
