Perfect Weather for the whole trip. Was super fun for our crew from the island to meet up with everyone again. Missed the action on Friday with some serious issues with clutching. Had to get parts rushed up from the island. Here's a few shots i got.

Megan in Monster. We showed up late and missed the Boost-It Crews and anyone prior to Megan's runs.

Not the best advertising for C3 with you constantly shaking the broken section on the tunnel.


So are Yamahas slowly getting phased out of their own party??:)

after those 2 vids i really have to question why someone would build a heavy 4stroke turbo sled. Those 2 strokes are going up it just as fast, and probably 100lbs less.

I did because my odometer says 5000 on my boosted engine and never seen an engine problem......I will double that and might even double it again before I need to speed $3000 every couple thousand miles......I went for durability! yes they are heavy and yes they do make a man out of a man......but the key is I dont have to worry about getting towed out......but I guess if I had to get towed out.....nothing could do it but another boosted Yamy! lol

It's about time some of the other manufacturers are able to climb some of those chutes too. Only been since about 04 when they started boosting Yamaha's and now in 2012 that some of the others are actually able to go where we can put out boosted yamaha's. The reliability of the boosted 4stroke will never be matched by a 2 stroke time bomb. But really ride what you like, and leave those of us who love our fat girls to break open the deepest powder and baddest chutes known. Just ride!!!!

i still dont understand chute climbs on these modded sleds. I mean if somebody climbs a chute that has never been climbed.... awesome. But after that its just another guy with enough money and balls to get there. Talent goes to the first guy who climbs it not knowing what could happen or if its possible to make.

I guess i find extreme, to be only stuff a small group of people can do with talent, not some guy with enough money to buy it.

On that note I would love to see video of chute climbs on stock sleds. That will show real rider ability.

Not saying these boys in the vids cant ride, just that it hardly looks like they are trying, GIVE THEM A CHALLENGE.

So what your saying is if someone likes to do powdercurls yet they arent the first person to do one it sucks? We climb these chutes because its an adrenaline rush to OURSELVES we dont do it to prove a point or be the best at something, I climb because I love it!! If someone wants to try anything good on them, it doesnt have to be the guy with enough money or balls cuz last time I checked I dont have balls and I enjoy climbing these chutes more than anything in the world. To each their own right, just have fun doing what ever type of riding you like and dont judge others on what they enjoy. We are not trying to be extreme, we are just doing us. We climb these chutes all the time with no one around to watch or film or anything! All these guys can ride and just because someone makes something look easy doesnt for a second mean that it is, there were many people not making the chutes on the weekend, me included. They are not easy they are a challenege, try to manuover a 700 lb sled around trenches and holes not as easy as it looks .. like I said none of us are tying to be extreme just doing what we enjoy : ) and as long as we are having fun who cares about "talent" Sledding is much more then who is more talented than others.. I wish one day people could get over the whole competition an egos that have been poisoning this sport. I dont do this stuff for anyone but myself, to push myself and I know my guys are the same, all for the love of the sport nothing else

It takes a lot of skill and ballz to climb the chutes these guys are hitting. It's not like climbing a wide open face. You can't just turn out if your not going to make it. I don't do chutes but I give full credit to the guys that do. These guys that hit them are incredible riders on incredible sleds. Most of the guys doing it have been riding sleds for many years. But then again it's probably just the sled and not the rider skill at all.

Oh ok. Thought it would have been a much more expensive fix. What happened to it? Endo?
