• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I love my Spyder but...

I'm getting all fired up for the upcoming snowmobile season. I missed last year due to a surgery, and wouldn't you know it, best conditions in years here in MI. For those of you that have never enjoyed the thrill of snowmobiling or you just think winter sucks please watch this you tube clip.

Does one always stand on a snowmobile? His grips seem perfect for standing but a bit high for sitting down.

I suppose you can get different grips on them, right?

I know nothing about snowmobiling, obviously.
 
Nice video, I guess if I had to decide if I could only have my sled or my Spyder I hate to admit it but the Spyder would go. I think of it as a way to get me through summer untill its time to ride again.

nice video,but we don't get that much snow here in central ohio soWINTER STILL SUCKS IN OHIO:(:gaah:
 
I was in Revelstock BC. in April of 08 and tried mountain riding. This was the same trip that the editers of SnoGoer magazine were on and wrote about. I can say this, It was one of the most beautiful places I,ve ever been, however I'm to old to get stuck so I,ve tried it and now I stick to the trails. The Gaspe loop in eastern QC is another awesome place. One place I still need to see is yellowstone park and the surrounding areas.

Snowmobiling Yellowstone

Have been going to Yellowstone for the past 5 years snowmobiling. The scenery is awesome both in and around the park. I figure that a smowmobile is a close cousin to my Spyder. Every rider should try it just once.:clap:
 
That amount of powder snow is unusual around the midwest.

Very seldom to we get snow that completely covers the pines trees like that, unless maybe in the upper UP of Michigan.
With that amount of powder, it's easy to bury your machine like that.

That video had to be filmed in the high country out west.

Either way, great video.

Thats called a mountain sled, a special purpose built sled for deep snow. Long, deep lug track, handlebar risers, hooked handlebars, and wider front ski for floatation. Yes they are made to ride standing, whereas trail sled are made to ride standing or sitting.
 
The last winter I was up by Waterown,NY, we got over 14 feet of snow--winter STILL draws serious vacuum.

When you sled winter is great. We will never give up the seasons. With a boat, Spyder & sled we are happier than we deserve.
