sorry i'm am idiot of course on the rear. you know i had a set of wedges back a couple of years ago and sold them (what an idiot) we are going up to black river falls wis, this weekend riding the snowmobile trails and it would be nice to have a set[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] oh well i guess i'll run the realtor's one more time and order a set of 4-snows. thanks jeff.


P.S. the 4-snows look beefier than the pro wedges i've seen.

i seriously looked into geting thost tracks, last time i checked they wanted 1500 for the tracks and 750 for the skis, i think the skis are rediculously overpriced and ugly as hell, like hell you could buy brand new skis for about 300CA easy,btw if any of you buy new skis buy mountain skis for the better floatation, n theres no way there mount costs over 300 to make, i bet theres like 40 in materials, the one big reason i didn't buy these is because you can't really jump them without worrying you'll bend somehin, wen i talked to them they said 2-3' high max, like if i was gunna spend that much money i want to be able to jump it, make some nice lil kickers outta snow, i ended up buyin a 77 skidoo tnt440, that by now have about 600 into and prolly have just as much or more fun than i would on the ds, i think the ski n track idea is great for atvs but i think the cost is a bit to much, if the skis were like 400, and the tracks were like 1000 i think they'd sell alot more

lilnotts looks like you'r ski mount's are simple but functional? why would you want to buy another set?
can you make up another ski mount set for sale?

jeffroe - i wasn't lookin at them to buy, just to compare to mine and pass my opinion to people like you who might buy them, i suppose its possible for me to make up sets, but with me having exams for school i just don't have the time rite now

lol, well starting a week from mon. i'll have access to a lathe everyday until june, so making brass bushing will be easy, and i htink i might try making set, if i find its going to be a huge pain to make that bend i probably won't make alot, unless i can figure out another way to support them

Yes, I'm late to this thread....



Anywho, yeah, you need better tires.. lol And you're buddy is giving you some good advice when he said to keep it in higher gears (more traction, because tires won't spin AS EASILY)............


I feel better.... LOL
