Dude,
You have no idea. My neighbor Scramblerized and I are about 90% done with a sweet track and now we are going to have a lake in the woods from the melting snow. IF IT EVER MELTS. I dont have a sled, but my machine took one hell of a beating this winter. Turning in really deep snow, i must flipped about 10 times. Lots of oil clean up. Can't wait for the spring [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Spring is here in Indiana!!! Its going to be pushing 70 this weekend!!!!!! and its about freaken time. We only had a little over 50" of snow this year. I bought a new predator last fall and have only got about 10 hours on it since december because of the weather (I'm not much of a winter rider I hate to be cold) Oh yea the first race of the new season is sunday too.

Rode hard for 6 hours yesterday in NY. Flipped the quad twice blowing 4 wheel drive doughnuts in the snow. Long winter got me out of shape, I'm a little sore today.

If you guys have never done 4 wheel drive doughnuts youve got to try it. When you get it right the quad will spin within it's own radius. In other words the center of your doughnut will be centered under the quad instead of at the front tires. It's tricky to get because if it "grabs" traction it will flip you FAST. The only other machine I have been able to do doughnut in side the ATV's radius was on a Honda ATC 250r (trike) and I would have to do my doughnuts in a wheelie. Boy do I miss that trike.

Yeah me and scrambled6910 are going nuts. Now that the track is almost done and we cant even use it. It seems like the snow has been here for ever.

Alpine2,

I hear you. I was spinning so fast the other day I was just hanging on for the ride, when I stopped I realized I had overdone it. The world was spinning!!! Ice works best, but Ive got them cranking on wet grass. The ground needs to be hard though. Early summer morning with a heavy dew and your golden.

I checked out your pics. What kind of wheeler is that? Come on the us all about it. It's definately trick.
