Exactly what I said.Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Godspeed
Never rode a snowmobile(not much snow where I am) but raced mx all through my childhood/teens. Snowmobiles can have absolutely insane motors on them. Eg 2-cyl 800cc 2-strokes and what not. So you're talking about a offroad machine with 1000cc sportbike-level power.seems them snowmobiles are prone to fatal accidents ... of the last 5 people i know who have died this last winter all on snow mobiles ... wtf is going on
Backcountry riding sleds is basically a more dangerous version of ATVing. Same speeds, same dangers, and diminished awareness of obstacles around you or under the surface.seems them snowmobiles are prone to fatal accidents ... of the last 5 people i know who have died this last winter all on snow mobiles ... wtf is going on

800 cc two stroke turbos these days. Theyre kinda weird to ride, but you’d get it pretty quick.Never rode a snowmobile(not much snow where I am) but raced mx all through my childhood/teens.

I was a big sledneck for about 10 years. Survived one avalanche triggered by another rider, and narrowly missed another. The technology became so good that it wasn't really all that fun unless you were pushing it to the edge and that generally meant taking more risk. I hung em up shortly after my daughter was born. Having had a few close calls myself, and knowing 2 others who died, it just wasn't worth it to me.of the last 5 people i know who have died this last winter all on snow mobiles
2 stroke turbo?800 cc two stroke turbos these days. Theyre kinda weird to ride, but you’d get it pretty quick.
Around here there are snowmobile tours were people do trail rides in a lead follow fashion. Many of them have zero atv/moto experience. Whiskey throttle into trees regularly. They generally Kill themselves at a greater rate than the back country guys do.
A fucking snowmobile flipped on him you nitwit. Say dumb shit when it could even remotely be theorized; Not when you know what happened.Isn’t someone gonna ask if he was vaccinated??? To soon?
How do you say hero worshipA fucking snowmobile flipped on him you nitwit. Say dumb shit when it could even remotely be theorized; Not when you know what happened.
Dude was an icon for a generation, unbelievably talented, and a father: show some respect.
But if that was one of your "brothers" you'd simp for him all day.Get a box of Kleenex. Sheesh.
How do you say hero worship
Use thicker toilet paper. You've been touching your inner self way too much.But if that was one of your "brothers" you'd simp for him all day.
Go fuck yourself
2 stroke turbo?
Very interesting..
Always thought forced induction would never work on a 2-stroke motor...
Ha. If that's all you've got today, I hope you feel better.Brother huh? Do you brother snow machiners wave at each other? You know, like Jeep owners.

Years ago a buddy of mine turbod a Yamaha apex. The 1000cc 4stroke r1 motor. The thing was wildly fast. This was 10-15 years ago. Can't imagine what they can come up with now.800 cc two stroke turbos these days. Theyre kinda weird to ride, but you’d get it pretty quick.

Incredible.Aftermarket has been doing it for 20 years. Factories for a few years now.
You can walk into your local Polaris or skidoo dealer and walk out with a turbo 850 2t in the 200hp range.
My buddy put a boondocker intercooled turbo kit on his sled. 225hp tune, turbo will maintain enough boost to pull that HP all the way to 12k feet.
Of course, he has about $8k into the turbo stuff on a sled he bought for $14k. The $20k factory sled does have a warranty.
Ahhh, there's some insight on you in this.Ha. If that's all you've got today, I hope you feel better.
I also hope; that when its your time, all the folks just like you, stop and take a second to piss on whatever menial make believe legacy you thought you had.
All I said was show some respect for a guy that had a family; and the truly miserable fucks come out to show how much better they are.
I have not. As an owner of some modern two stroke mc bikes, the power bands have changed a lot. Powervalves with fuel and oil injection Power everywhere, but so linear they feel lazy. I would expect the OEM turbo snow machines to be this way. The turbo 4 stroke machines are probably more insane, with a slight weight penalty.@chevy_man @Supersubes have yall ever ridden a 2t turbo snowmobile? Is the powerband absolutely insane as one would think? Cant imagine a ~200+ hp 2t! Although at such a big displacement, it should tame down the hit a good bit. Torque must be out of this world..
Im sure technology has progressed leaps and bounds, but I know the old 4cyl 500cc 2t ~200hp MotoGP bikes were said to be a fckn handful and a half. A man's bike for sure.. better be pointed dead straight when that bitch comes up on the pipe!
Yes. And yes, the power is unreal. Easily enough to put your ski's in the air pretty much anywhere. When I rode them, the turbos were all aftermarket (mostly the Boondocker brand) and you had to be fairly savvy with tuning to make them run well, especially at altitude. You also had to be knowledgeable enough to tune your clutch to match the power the sled was producing (snowmobiles have centrifugal clutches) to make it all work. They really are amazing machines. I can't imagine what they are like now with factory turbos and a warranty.have yall ever ridden a 2t turbo snowmobile?

Man yall are opening a whole new world up to me. This is some very interesting stuff!
