A Few Shots from Radium in the 80's

[Scotty]

I was digg'n around in the old photo albums tonight and came accross a few photos from the mid 80's. They were taken at Forster Creek... Radium BC. We used to ride there once or twice every year for about 10 years or so with a large group of guys... Dads' and sons... The first pic is me jumping my dad's '81 el'tigre 6000, I was 17 at the time

I hope the photos show up OK... I scanned and adjusted them as good as I could?

My bro took our 1980 Arctic cat trail cat 4000 to Revelstoke and got stuck in the ruts going up to the alpine. That was it for the big 440 and his first ride to the mountains back in the early 1990s.

Great pics!! just a little tougher riding back then, or maybe just more fun and challenging.

Excellent pics!

The landings on the el'tigre must have been harsh! Never seen so many in one place before....you guys cat dealers? The 80's sleds look so tiny with an adult on them compared to todays sleds.
