every winter i take my friends 450s honda forman on frozen laks and do donuts all
over the ice and if you get in the right
place you can stay in one place doing fast
circles P.S. I was amazed how good they did on ice.

I was playing around last week on a swamp trying my best in 2 wheel drive. All you can accomplish are really big sloppy ovals. Threw it into 4 wheel drive and got those nice tight circles. Got up to 35 MPH. Had I had a larger area I could've gone faster, but you do drift a little and didn't want my tires to bite on the reeds on the edge. Plus I was gonna be sick.

A couple of years ago we had very little snow but very cold temperatures. The lake had a inch or so of stiff snow on top of the ice. We tied a long rope to the back of an 87 350 4-Trax. We then tied some loops in the rope. 3 people on skates and one 4-Trax driver. The driver did huge loops on the ice while 3 fools on skates whipped around at breathtaking speeds! What a hoot. Once we got going, the ATV circles got smaller and smaller as the weight of the 3 skaters pulled the back end around. Soon the ATV wasn't covering much ground at all but the skaters sure were! The 4-Trax just kept pulling. Eventually we had to quit before we lost our lunch. What a hoot!
