Rasmussen Jumps to DOO!!!!!!

[normal]

We lost a really talented guy at work once. He had developed a couple inovative ways to save time in completing some different processes. He became very agitated when we would not make a uni-lateral decision to incorporate these changes across the board. I explained to him many times, that what worked for him did not work for everybody. To our disappointment his EGO got the best of him and he went to the competion.
I do not know Mr. Rasmussen or the reason/s for re-alligning his ride, just sharing a story.
Cutting down bar height does not work for everybody. Many peeps do better with taller bars.
IMHO

Money tells me "DOO" things when I'm out riding $$$$$$$$$ Cha Ching $$$$$$$$$ but on a more serious note skidoo sleds are pretty horny machines. And the 2011 cat hcr was/is a legend I bet Bret has a couple tucked away to reminisce about the good old days for the near future. All these sledding posts are making me crazy I want it to be winter already!

poor ol green fellers

Guess that means that everyone who rides a Doo will automatically become the awesome riders they always dreamed of becoming as soon as the snow hits the hills this winter. I think everyone that has ever watched a sledding video should run right out and buy themselves a Freeride before they are all soldout.

 

[maxwell]

Yes you should definitely do that

Found it intresting what someone posted on this blog, after some said that money buys loyalty.

"Money buys loyalty huh? That shows your ignorance about Bret, and his passion
for snowmobiling, and his desire to improve mountain sleds. It also shows how
little you understand the industry. Polaris, and Ski-doo are determined to build
the best mountain sled. While Cat is busy NOT listening to the very people who
made them what they are. How about this... Cat left their roots behind, and not
sticking to what made them successful. They pioneered the first mountain
specific chassis back in '05, and ruled the mountains from '05 to 2010. In 2010
the M8 was the best selling sled of all brands and all segments. But now Cat has
decided to leave behind the mountain specific chassis in favor of "commonality
of parts." So basically, if you want a Cat mountain sled you get a long tracked
F8. Cat quit listening to the people that really know how sleds should work, in
favor of listening to bean counters who tell them how to save a few pennies on a
part. It does not take a genius to see how far behind Cat is compared to Ski-doo
and Polaris. It is about business, and how Bret can offer the best product to
his clients, he cannot do that with Cat’s current line of pathetic mountain
sleds. It is intelligence not greed. Don’t be blinded by brand loyalty, and
blame the user for the short comings of the manufacturer"

now i dont care what others ride, to each there own. personally im not brand loyal at all i ride what works best for me, end of story. but money will always be a factor in a big name battle's like sleds. When it comes down to it most riders buy a sled that makes them a better rider, ans sell the sled if it dont work for them. i think bret made a good choice cause as he stated, he like the sled and how it moved for him. cat couldnt do it but it will work for someone else. cant make everyone happy!

Ruled the mountains from 05-10? I'd love to have a "spirited " chat with that guy. Lol.
