JUST RIDE THE FREAKIN THING!!!

Seriously.. I had such a blast.. there was maybe 5 minutes of adjustment time, and BANG it was on baby. I forgot I was on a 162 even. Switching Brands is more mental than anything. Sure there are going to be differences, but the way the sleds are designed today, each mountain sled is simply Awesome.

2013 Arctic Cat Proclimb M800 162"
I was totally humbled. I loved this sled so much I named him...
Antonio... (said in a sexy Italian voice).
Laid over like a dream, maintained side hills wickedly, and I could climb like a mofo.

I super enjoyed the extra oomph this chassis Brings. My machine has the
"Get er Done" kit Marc developed which includes modified gearing and clutching.
The Slydog Powder Hounds were wicked!

I loved the track.. It had a Camo Extreme track which seemed to really dig in, when I was climbing, and gave me good float in the deep stuff.

Within Minutes I was able to lay it over when I wanted to. I was dropping down a drainage and needed to quickly switch my course. I was able to bulldog it over, walk it horizontally to where I wanted to be, then continue my drop through the trees. It was only at the bottom I remembered I was on a totally different sled.
I do have to work on my down hill powder Carves. It will take a bit of practice to develop the fluidity as I had with my pro, but sidehilling, and maintaining my sidehill was a dream! Jumping was fun, even with the longer track.


And I do have to say.. yet again... I love MY Job, and a HUGE thank you to T and T powersports for giving me this opportunity!

Braaap On Baby!

I was a little confused by the Italian name as it is. Everything about a cat is so anti-Italian. The sound of the engine is so mean, and the looks so aggressive, I don't think Italy. Chuck Norris would have been more appropriate for the cat, if Momma didn't already use that on her Pro a couple years ago.

Haha I'm guessing you've never looked at a Ferrari, Lambo, or Pagani if you don't associate agressive styling and sounds with Italy.

I'm a petrol head, and VERY aware of those. However, all of them have this elegance about them. They don't look like they are going to step out and punch you in the face, like I think the cat does. With exception of Lambo's V12, the sounds are a more refined F1 style sound than an aggressive American V8, which I also like to compare the cat too. The engine just sounds mean.

ummmmmmm.......don't think I even want to venture into commenting on this one.

Let's face it....the ONLY reason he's called Antonio is because of how much you like to say it in your strong Spanish accent...lmao. ;) If only that could come across on the forum. haha

And for fun I had to look up the meaning of the name Antonio..."worthy of praise" hahahhaha

So I put my name in and imagined it in Gloria from Modern Family's accent and almost walked home to hop on my sled.

Trish,thanks for the lunch time entertainment! I wish all threds were as fun to read ( as I wipe the laughter tears fron my face). Reminds me of you battling the guy from Ontario for the best picture contest. Mind you the hand stand on Chuck was way better than Antonio! IMO I enjoy reading all your articles, magazines or on S&M.
