HEYWAITFOURME, i live in CT. Right now i am trying to get some prices on a foam pit so that i can get a couple hits in before the real thing... man they are not cheap and a ramp ontop of that is going to cost some $$$$$$$... I hope it pays off in the long run. I will let you know dates and location a couple weeks before it happens.

They also get there machines rebuilt after they bust the crap out of them . There very light and they break

The first backflip on a snowmobile was done on a stock 700 summit. In stock form those things arent light. Way heavier then a quad.

the one thing that could help to do a backie would be to have a set of tires that are heavier then what you would normaly would run and the torqe off the heavyer tires would help bring the machine around to land .its a physics thing .[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
