so I sold my sled to a fellow from Iowa, and we(SBR - Curtis and myself) drove to Calgary to meet him part of the way.... We completed the transaction and were in the process of going to load his sled on his 2012ish chevy 3500 lifted diesel in a parking lot in south Calgary. He was parked against a curb, with grass on the other side of the curb. He said he was quite nervous, because he's never loaded onto a deck before(and he had an older zx summit already on the deck). He said he just traded his trailer for the deck the night before. He drove 24hours non-stop to pick up the sled with a buddy, that didn't have a passport, so he stayed at the boarder in a bar in Sweetgrass. He started to drive the sled up the ramp and never had enough speed, so he backed down and looked at the steep ramp(probably only 8 or 9 footer) and got a little speed and got near the top and was worried about not making it, so he got on the throttle abit and wheelie heaven happened. front right ski hit pretty much front center of the roof, and he figured he better pin it and launched off and the track then landed on the hood and skis into the grass embackment. He of course was thrown forward and into the handlebars and throttle and over the bars he went... very lucky he never keeled of the side of the truck roof, when he was up there!!! We all laughed and made sure he was alright, and says hes a little bruised up today, but okay. He should be having some fun today as they're off to cooke city, with an awesome sled, and absolutely no damage from this antic.......... Have fun Mark!!!
