I've searched my kiester off for the Parking Lot Fail Threads. Does anyone have any Parking suggestions for staging reas, and or pics of humans behaving badly they'd like to share? If you can find that thread for me I will be ever so thankful.

Thanks guys!

Just wait until the season is at its peak.
Trucks and trailers all over the place. Wide gaps between them but not wide enough to fit another vehicle because that's where everyone had sleds parked.
Lol.

Parking lots is a pet peeve. I've learnt be 1st one there and last to leave and no more problems.

Its entertaining when guys with big trailers behind 1/2 tons running on bald tires try to turn around in them.

You have all day to hold it wide open, the parking lot at the end of the day is not the place. This guy hit it one last time and I’m pretty sure the throttle froze WFO. Pinned him between the truck and sled, and I’m pretty sure he broke/fractured his pelvis. Could have been a lot worse.

There sure is LOL. Was backing into my yard and all of my riding partners were all passed out in the back seat. Not willing to direct me. I forgot that I had lined up all the machines against the fence that morning. As I was backing around, the truck stopped and spun out. I didn’t think much of it because there was snow on the driveway so I continued to put the truck in 4 low and carry on backing up. To my surprise there was a snowmobile stuck under the trailer that had dragged about 20ft. A hood, headlight and a pipe later she was back in business

Haha I have so been there when my trailer won’t back up anymore. Hmmmm, let’s put in four low and make it move. I feel so dumb after it happens.

I don't know if there was a thread on here about "parking lot fails" but there is YouTube videos that I remember seeing.

This is a picture I took after the fact; as one sled (the one on the right hand side) was unloading, the deck released and flipped as you see it. The sled backing off was out of the way and other than pride there were no injuries.

Hard to make out in the picture but isn't that a half ton? :)

I’ve done the “telescopic ramp without pin, on ice” routine a few times.

Kept on the gas and wheelied out the top to a huge bang as I hit the brakes to bring the front down. Got lots of looks around the parking lot

Didn’t notice a worn through wear bar on the ski of my 99 tundra R one time
Came in hot to the ramp, sled stops completely when the ski hits the telescopic part, I crash over the handlebars and tumble off the side of the ramp. Took the brand new windshield with me too

We had a tilt deck trailer, and I was loading up my sled, the kids were watching their bad arse momma bear through the window in awe. Well, I hit a patch of ice, gunned my throttle, and launched over the deck into the truck box... good times hahaha.. Momma went from hero to zero in 10 seconds flat.

Dad used to have a two place tilt trailer. Remember a few times as a teen trying to load the sleds by myself and just before reaching the trailer it would drop back down.
Thankfully never collided with it. Always stopped in time.

As a proud member of team skagless racing I have hooked countless bent or broken runners and carbides on the ramp. In spring now I usually just carry a cordless impact with a 13mm on it so I can pull the fawked skag off and get up the ramp.

My first ever sled deck the ramp didn't have runners on it just bare aluminum rungs that was fun loading on it until I put some puckboard on it.
