Completely do-able, you just need a small crane that goes really fast either behind or in front of you.

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.

Only possible way would be to 'roll on - roll off' a few times and try and get her to 'bounce' up in the air.
I've had all 3 off the ground a few times. Spyder is not meant for flying......

Transferring weight toward the rear tire would help... But I'm betting that Scotty's assessment of 2/3 of the total poundage on the front wheels is gonna make it a tough sell as far as getting the laws of physics to bend a little... :gaah:

Question 2
O.K. so my tires won't get off the ground. Question 2. What are the must have accessories that reduce weight on the spyder either for better accelleration or better gas milage? Lets skip the two most obvious. Muffler and shocks.

...Uhhhh... :shocked: Helium in the tires? :roflblack:
Actually I kind of have a serious answer to this issue. (Scary!)
Years ago I put a pretty decent snowmobile on a weight reduction diet... (1990 Polaris Indy Trail Deluxe)
Stock it weighed 484 pounds
I ended up switching out all of the front end components to Chromoly steel that was stronger and lighter, removed the electric starter, (okay... that won't work here...),swapped out the two-up seat for a custom lightweight solo one, the track went to one with fewer plies holding it together, lightweight composite skis, and even a lower windshield
Result:
Down to 425 pounds!
But...
It just about cost cubic dollars to find and purchase those lightweight parts!
But dang; it was fun embarassing more powerful sleds! :thumbup:
