bullshit best way to learn something its jump on it and try until you succeed. From 80's kids and your welcome!!

@yteka99 6 жыл бұрын

Depends how good you want to be. You'll for sure figure out what works for you doing it that way, but there's a correct way to do everything and you'll never be an advanced rider without having the basics down first.

Newer sleds have a more narrow ski width so its easier to get them on their side. In 1996 nearly everything was a trail sled and there was basically a wider is better mentality.

I never rode a snowmobile off trail in the Mountains.. Referring to a 4 hour snowmobile rental in Whistler when my legs were like rubber from skiing a few days.. I just sat my ass on the seat.. That being said .. I spent 2 winters banging Moguls in CO 1 winters figuring out how to ski deep powder steep and deep and Extreme skiing.. at Alta Utah in 1983.. In 1983 they told me that Alta Snow was too light and too deep and snowmobiles just got stuck .. The first Mountain sleds were custom built and very expensive.. I am not sure when the Big 4 started selling Commercial Mountain sleds..

Why is avalanche education and safety not mentioned in this video? It makes sense to discuss these important skills, but are avalanche rescue/safety skills not as important?

2 years after but, if you look closely they have a 1/4 inch of snow so if you get in an avalanche just stand up Just a joke it should be in the vid

Lols.. in that poor snow conditions you do not need to side hill the sled to turn it up the hill again. just turn and do not let the track slip. xD

how do you put the sled on its side???? i have a 1998 indy 500 and I can't get it on its side. I don't know if my sleds to heavy or if I'm doing something wrong. PLEASE REPLY

@ry3an7 10 жыл бұрын

its because that chassis simply isn't made to do that, mostly because its a flat land sled. As far as Polaris chassis go, you really need to get to an IQ or above before your really can make it do things like that. Not impossible with your Indy, but it'll be a lot harder. And like one of the guys said in the video, you need someone that knows what they are doing to properly teach you the techniques.

i know i am a little bit late but first off you need to have a deacent amount of snow, then you just throttle hard to one directon and then turn ass fast as you can to the other direction to get the sled on it's side. i have done it with your exact sled model :)

yep the worst balance point ever, so hard to keep on an edge without steering mods. They don't have enough steering angle to keep the sled on its side.
