34*C and I'm watching sled videos

[Bnorth]

Winter Project teaser is out. Looks like it will be a lot different than the traditional sled movies.

In weather like this, I'd want to watch something that makes me feel cool. Sledding just reminds me of sweating my frigg'n bag off.

You're not alone. I've been watching videos three to four nights a week. The wife thinks I've lost my mind. Some people just don't understand.

Was in Cycle Works the other day with a buddy picking up ATV parts and seen the new Viper demo there and that got me in the mood to start shopping for a sled again. Been watching sled video's at work everyday since. Need to get back in the game!

If anyone gives you grief about it, ask them where they think all the bilge water from all the boats is pumped? no difference than a 2 stroke jet ski sinking or a big fancy boat hauling 200 gallons of diesel fuel and pumping its bilge out. No sh!t its not designed for it. LOL funny as fawk though!

have run on little ponds that are not connected to major tributaries or water bodies. Its a big adrenaline rush going out on deep water but the consequence is bigger and a lot harder to recover the sled (diver). Also risk more waves. 6 ft deep "ponds" like old river channels are great, usually no waves and decent exit/entry approaches.

I maybe could have been persuaded but I'm heading out to the cabin for a couple weeks, sorry. Pick a good steady approach for entry and exit, tape all seams on the belly pan, biggest nemesis is getting water on the clutches, belts spins and you go down. suck in front suspension and the arms won't induce as much drag if they hit, tie a rope and a milk jug with a long leader (ideally longer than the lake is deep if you know what I mean....LOL). if you start to go down, shut the sled off asap and it won't suck in as much water. If you do drown it, flip it upside down and get it fired back up, otherwise it will rust internally. If you get ballsy and are out with boats, keep in mind that water craft (i.e. boat) rules apply so you will need to apply whoever has the proper right of way etc. Wear a PFD pls.

Two last things....1) make sure you get it on film 2) don't forget the swim trunks!

Well figured out a time and place .... its either sept 20 or 21 as for the lake well I will say that maybe the day before just so I don't have cops waiting to shut me down ... but it's going to be about 2 to 2.5 mile straight across lol gonna have my drift on and the gopro on the sled and hope to have someone in a boat videoing ... gonna need some new fuel and lots of duct tape to cover the side vents lol
