News for SledClub by SledClub
Hey every one, its Thacker here checking in from Whistler BC. Myself, Cody Borchers, Cory Davis, Randy Sherman, Ross Mercer and Chris Brown on the Camera have been tearin it up here in Beautiful British Columbia. Our weather has not been the greatest but that has definitely not slowed down our good times! We have been ripping dirt bikes, rallying the mountain bikes on the downhill course and there is no shortage for night life even in the off season of the crazy ski town. We have only had a couple of days of actual filming but when we have gotten to it’s been unreal. There is so much snow left here I can’t believe it! It is the middle of June and we are still riding sleds! Totally living the dream! Ha! Yesterday was our best day with Ross and Cody crushing the 180 reentries and even myself getting in there a bit! Cory and I crushed the Monster gap jump with Cory killing it even more with some nice no footed can cans There was definitely no shortage of big air, style, Monster Energy drink and fun with some of the most talented riders in the biz! Until next time! Peace and keep it rubber side down!

What got you into sledding and how long have you been doing it for?
My buddy Pat and his family. I use to live in Sherwood Park, AB and I
would hang out at his house whenever I could. His family had a bunch of
sleds and I was allowed to come over and enjoy. It continued from there. Then my
family moved to Cochrane, AB. My brother and I worked to save up enough
money to buy XLT Polaris'. We met a couple guy's in a local riding area
near Cochrane. They saw that we had enough talent to take us to Golden, BC.
And that was the first time in the mountains. Ever since then we just
couldn't get enough. Now here I am.
What kind of sled/s did you ride this year and what mods did you do to it/
them?
I have 2 sleds this season and they are 07 Race chassis' with 800 Ski-doo
power plants. One has a RT Tek piston head kit with a Dyno Port pipe and
silencer that works amazing. It sure makes a difference from stock. The
other one has a 06 power tek 800 that is stock with a Dyno port pipe and
silencer. With a couple of little tricks and that’s it.........(top secret)
Haha!!!
You had an early season injury. What happened?
I broke my Rt Radius and wrist. I had a plate and 8 screws put in. That was
pretty sh**ty. It happen December 8 in Colorado at the Compound. I was
trying to learn freestyle. I over jumped the landing, landed flat and snap!
This started your season off on a bad note. Were you still able to reach
all your goals for the year?
Yes it was hard to take, I love all times of the winter and I missed out on
a lot of early season riding. I started riding mid February and battled
cloudy days after days. It took awhile to get the confidence back, but I
have been able to do everything I wanted to accomplish.

You just finished sledding in Whistler. Who where there with and
how did that go for you?
Whistler was awesome this year, I got to ride with Rob Alford, Geoff Kyle,
Ray Archer, Chris Brown, Chris Burandt, Cory Davis, Randy Sherman and Dan
Treadway. It was a good time and there were a couple ups and downs, but that
is a part of sledding.
What videos can we look out for in seeing you in this year?
Slednecks 10, Frontier Films, maybe Matchstick and maybe On The Pipe, we’ll
see about those. It would be sweet to be in a Ski Video, and Moto Video.
Where did you get to sled this winter?
Revelstoke BC, Whistler BC and Colorado.
Do you stay at Rob Alfords bed and breakfast when you’re in Revy?
Oh for sure, it’s a really nice place to stay. Rob always invites me.
I hear he can cook a pretty mean breakfast. Is this true?
Rob cooks a mean one. Then I have to clean up the mess....Haha. Robby makes
it a good visit for all his guests!
What would you pick if you could only choose one; Deep pow descents, big
drops or huge booters?
Oh man. I love it all too much to choose one.
What about between gnarly flips or tweaked out whips?
Well gnarly flips are ballz and they’re pretty wild. Tweaked out whips are
the funnest things to do, I can't get enough of them. There's no other
feeling then throwing a big whip and being upside down.
You have been tweaking those whips out pretty good lately! any secrets?
Thanks, I have been trying to get better at them. It takes practice and
practice for me.
What do you think about the new 2008 Rev XP? And would you consider
riding on one next year?
I have ordered 2 for next year. Ski-doo has changed snowmobiling again. I
want to be on them as soon as possible. They look cool. Can’t wait!
Any advice you can give to someone before heading into the backcountry?
Yes, Avalanche gear and take a course as well. Make sure you know how to use it!
Because the only survival out there is you and your group! Make sure to be
prepared for anything. Bring things to keep warn and be prepared to stay
over night. Things can change so fast while being out there. Be sure to bring lots of
water and food, your buddy might forget his....... Use your Head,
common sense and have fun!
Any words of wisdom or quotes to live by?
Work Hard and Play Harder. Treat people the way you want to be treated..
Any last comments or people you want to give thanks to?
Thanks to all my sponsors and everybody that makes it possible for me to do
this.
Thanks for your time Cody
No problem,
Thank you.

When you planned on going for the record, did you ever second guess or ask yourself is this actually possible or can my sled even go fast enough?Not really. I knew I could do it, I actually thought my sled would be plenty fast enough, but because of the elevation and temperatures it was actually very close. I was hitting the ramp at full speed at the end with a huge in run. Did you do any special training or mods to your sled before going for the
record distance jump?No. On the first day i was hitting the ramp full speed and not going far enough, about 246. For the second day I geared my sled up, put on a lightweight can and took the foam out of my airbox to try to make it faster. We also extended the run in and for the last jump that i broke the record on we had the entire inrun salted so it was frozen and hard, which made a big difference. What type of sled were you riding while going for the record jump?I rode my 2007 Skidoo Rev Race chassis with a stock 800 engine. It is a great sled and it worked perfectly for this jump. Was there any support or sponsorship from them for the jump?Yeah, Ski-Doo really helped me out this year. They hooked me up with a couple of new 2007 sleds which have been great all season. In general, do you think there should be more support from snowmobile
manufactures for the riders that are pushing the limits of the sport?Well, the more support the riders get the more they can work at pushing the limits of the sport. The last couple years have been really great for the sport. There have been a number of events that have really pushed it into the mainstream. RedBull has done events all over the world, the event in Red Square Moscow, the Fuel and Fury event in Alaska last year etc, as well as the fact that freestyle sledding was a gold medal event at the winter X games this year have all brought it to the worlds attention. The manufacturers are definately noticing us now and stepping up to the plate. I am really excited to be working with SKi-Doo and hope that freestyle can become a big part of their advertising, the way racing is. How many paramedics were on stand by while you were going for the record?I dont know. There was an ambulance standing by and a few people who were there to deal with any kind of situation that might arise. It was reasuring to have them there for sure. What was your pre jump meal?
Well, I had a good crash in Slovenia about 5 days prior to my record attempt, so I was really sore going into this. On the first day I ate 2 bags of chips and 12 ibuprofins all day and had a couple RedBulls. The second day I dont remember what I ate, a sandwich or a muffin or something i think. lots of ibuprofins and RedBulls as well of course! Now that you are in the Guinness Book of World Records have you started
getting love letters on Sledclub.com from all the hotties?
Not really but maybe things will pick up here soon. Maybe this interview will help. I hear you were using a radar gun, how fast were you clocked at before
hitting the jump?79 mph or so. Probably about 80 off the ramp, I held it pinned all the way up the ramp. What video/s can we look out for in seeing your record jump in?It will be in SledNecks 10, Two Stroke Cold Smoke 10, I think its going to be in the next Nitro Circus as well. Being from the Yukon/Canada, what's the stupidest question a fan has asked
you about where your from?Well, i dont know. Yesterday I went through the drive through at McDonalds and got asked if it was for here or to go. There are lots of stupid questions. It seems that a lot of people think the Yukon is in Alaska. I am actually really surprised when I am travelling how many people actually do know where the Yukon is. Anyone you want to thank for helping making this event happen?Yeah I would like to thank all my sponsors of course for their great support this season. Everyone who was a part of this did a great job and worked very hard to make it happen. Chris and Clayton at the compound for all their work. I guess my biggest thanks has to go to RedBull for investing so much in me and making all this happen. All the encouragement and props from people back home and from around Canada go a long way too, it's cool to hear from people who are stoked on what i am doing. I like to think I am making Canadians proud. That you are indeed!
Keep up the good work! We look forward in seeing you keep pushing the sport and bringing it to new levels!

Ross Mercer of Whitehorse, Yukon, jumps 80.3m (263.5’), breaking previous record of 74.6m (245’)
Steamboat Springs, Colorado, March 11 – Canadian Ross Mercer took snowmobiling to new heights today by establishing a new world record of 80.3m for longest snowmobile ramp jump, surpassing the previous record of 74.6m. Mercer performed the jump at The Compound, the world’s largest snowmobile terrain park, located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. An official world-record attempt, Mercer’s accomplishment was verified by Landmark Surveyors, and has been filed with Guinness World Records.
“I just went as fast as my sled would go, and I exceeded my expectations,” said Mercer. “My goal today was 250 ft., but going into this I really didn’t know what to expect. Once you get out here those numbers get pretty big when you’re trying to do them on a snow machine.”
Born in the former mining town of Cassiar, BC, and now residing and training in Whitehorse, Yukon, Mercer has taken advantage of his natural hometown environs to emerge as Canada’s best freestyle sled-X rider, and is considered among the world’s elite. As a discipline, freestyle sled-x has risen from a scattered group of amateurs to one of the fastest growing winter sports, generating worldwide audiences everywhere from the Winter X-Games to Red Bull Revolution on Machines in Moscow, which drew over 30,000 fans to Red Square.
Added Mercer: “I’m just really happy to be part of the process and pushing the sport to new levels. I’m looking forward to going home, celebrating and resting.”
Mercer’s feat comes after months of planning and collaboration with sponsor Red Bull. Performed on a 2007 Ski-Doo race chassis with an 800 engine, the world record jump came after a methodical training program where Mercer gradually increased his speed and the distance of the ramp from the landing.
“The radar gun was key because we started close up and then moved back 10 feet at a time, keeping careful track of my speed and making sure there were no surprises,” continued Mercer. “It was very systematic and I didn’t have a bad landing the entire time.”

To be straight to the point as time is extremely limited, we need your help. The BC gov’t at the provincial level has proposed closures in areas already established with current usage agreements. This affects areas from Clearwater, 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, Quesnel and Prince George, BC, Canada. The issues are arising due to the Caribou habitat in these areas. So far we have not seen any scientific evidence backing their claims and we are diligently doing our homework so we are prepared for the meeting in two (2) weeks. Yes! TWO (2) weeks time. This was sprung on us at the last minute. The proposed closure areas include:
- Cameron
- Grain
- Bill Miner
- MacKay
- Mica
We are drafting up a petition and will be ready for distribution on Thursday Feb. 22, 2007. We need it distributed in as many places as possible, as fast as possible. The form can be downloaded, signed and faxed back to our office at (250) 791-7219. This is an extremely important issue as it affects a huge area in British Columbia, and only opens doors for more closures.
We are organizing a rally to be held in Williams Lake, BC at the Ministry building. I will have more details to follow as we have another meeting on Thursday to finalize and start organizing. The more people that can show up, the bigger the impact it will be as it will show the gov’t how big of a group we really are.
If we don’t act now, we will lose this area, and we will not be able to ride locally next year at all.
If you can help in any way in getting this word around your community, it would be greatly appreciated as it affects your community as well.
I will be in contact again on Thursday when the final draft is drawn.
Thank you,
Matt Harper

Interview With Rob Alford
Where did you grow up?
Qualicum Beach, Vancouver Island.
You lived in Whistler before Revelstoke; what area do you prefer for sledding and why?
Both Whistler and Revelstoke have good points to them. Whistler has easier access to the goods but not as good snow.
Out of all the areas you have sledded whats your favorite place?
I have a new area in Revelstoke that is my favorite so far. It is right by Zipper Mouth Creek.
What is Mt. Mackenzie Log Chalet?
It is a deluxe bed and breakfast log home in Revelstoke which is covered in fresh pow right now. Check out www.logchalet.com for more details.
I hear you commercial fish. What is that like?
It pays the bills and it has some challenges that keeps it interesting.
What type of sledding impresses you most?
Well I am really impressed with the crazy airs those guys in Alaska are doing these days, and of course the big mountain pow riding.
Besides sledding what other activities keep you busy?
I do a lot of downhill biking, dirtbiking and some surfing.
What are your plans for this winter?
Send some airs and rip some pow!
Any sponsors or thanks you want to send out?
Blue Marble Oil, Fly Racing, Bull Dog truck Decks, A@E Motorsports and The Sled Shed.

If you have an email account with Sledclub.com, you are probably having problems logging in to read your email over the last couple of weeks. We have had huge problems with spammers flooding our servers and making them un-usable, as well as many technical issues with our email server. In an effort to fix this we have done alot of research to find out how we can cure this problems for good. Google has allowed us to transfer all of our Sledclub.com email accounts to Gmail (Google's email service). This means you will get to use their great email interface for your email and have a much larger email account. Currently, Gmail allows accounts to store more than 2 GB of email. We will be making this move this week and hope to have the email back to a normal state by Friday Dec 22. We appologize for this break in email service and hope this solution will fit your needs.
We will be posting instructions on how to check your new Sledclub.com Gmail account as soon as they are setup. We will still allow you to log into your old email account here (as soon as we get it running again) to grab contacts and old emails until the end of the month.

RED BULL FUEL + FURY:
Returns to its Roots (and Snow) in Alaska Backcountry, April 8-15, 2006
Santa Monica, Calif. (March 13, 2006) – In search of snow, the next edition of the Red Bull Fuel + Fury freestyle snowmobiling competition invades the Alaskan backcountry near Girdwood, Alaska, April 8-15, 2006. After a two-year urban assault atop dirt and woodchips on the historic grounds of the abandoned Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee, Wis., the 2006 event returns to its natural habitat – with a new twist.
Always pushing the sport of freestyle snowmobiling, the 2006 Red Bull Fuel + Fury will feature up to sixteen of the world’s best backcountry riders, who will select and team up with the industry’s top videographers. Together, they will take part in the seven-day filming competition featuring Alyeska Ski Resort as home base and the ChugachRange, which gets more annual snowfall (600+ inches) than anywhere else on earth, as their playground. In addition to the new location, the public will have the final say in who will take home a share of the $20,000 purse.
“I’m really looking forward to returning to the roots of snowmobiling and letting the public have a say,” said 2003 Red Bull Fuel + Fury winner Jay Quinlan, who grew up in the 49th state. “The backcountry is where the sport was created. Riding on natural terrain lets you really express your own style, and the video element will allow us to put a broader range of things in our segments.”
TAKE ONE! ACTION!
Each rider-videographer team will create a two-to-four minute segment of video footage that will make up their “run” in the competition, replacing the standard two-minute run in a stadium-style contest. Each rider will select his own videographer from such notable snowmobile filmmakers as Slednecks, Rath Films, Turnagain Hardcore Productions and Frontier Films. Riders are also free to select other independent producers of their choice.
The first six days (Saturday, April 8 – Thursday, April 13) will be spent riding the backcountry, with cameramen on-hand capturing the action. On Friday, April 14, the final day of competition, riders will tackle a natural terrain park on Glacier Bowl atop Alyeska Ski Resort. This competition will be a jam-session style format that is open to the public, providing riders one last chance to capture solid tricks on film. All of the finished segments will be due at 11:59 p.m. on Friday. Entries will be digitized and posted online for one day of judging on Saturday, April 15.
Voting: YOU be the Judge!
The entire snowmobile community will determine the competition’s winner. By logging onto www.redbullfuelandfury.com throughout the day on Saturday, April 15, the public will be able to view each rider’s segment and cast their e-ballot for their favorite.
Viewing/voting parties will take place at Polaris dealers or local snowmobile clubs throughout the lower 48 states. The remaining votes will come from the attendees at the Red Bull Fuel + Fury viewing party on Saturday, April 15 in Anchorage, at the historic 4th Avenue Theater, from 7:00 p.m. - midnight. At the end of the night, all votes will be tallied and the winners will be announced.
The industry’s best sky pilots
A field of 16 riders, including eight representing Alaska, has been invited to compete:
·
Kyle Armbrust (Anchorage, AK)
·
Jimmy Blaze (Anchorage, AK)
·
Cody Borchers (British Columbia, CAN)
·
Chris Burandt (Kremmling, CO) - 2005 winner
·
Sam Carver (Valdez, AK)
·
Dane Ferguson (Anchorage, AK)
·
Tommy Frankson (Anchorage, AK)
·
Heath Frisby (Caldwell, ID)
·
Kourtney Hungerford (West Yellowstone, MT)
·
Geoff Kyle (British Columbia, CAN)
·
Ross Mercer (Whitehorse, Yukon, CAN)
·
Jay Quinlan (Breckenridge, CO) - 2003 winner
·
Dan Phillips (Glenallen, AK)
·
Jason Semler (Anchorage, AK)
·
Randy Sherman (Anchorage, AK)
·
Christoph Von Alvensleben (Anchorage, AK)
Alternate:
Lee Stuart (Winnipeg, Manitoba, CAN)
The 2006 event boasts $20,000 in total prize money, including $5,000 for the “Best Run” from Friday’s Jam Session at Alyeska. The remaining $15,000 will be divided for the overall segment prizes (to be split between the rider and videographer) - $7,000 for first place, $3,000 for second place and $2,000 for third place, plus three $1,000 “preems” for “Best Line,” “Biggest Air” and “Worst Wreck.”
RED BULL FUEL + FURY
Considered the premier freestyle snowmobile competition in the world, Red Bull Fuel + Fury’s origins are in Jackson, Wyo., when in its second year of competition in 2003, Jay Quinlan performed the first backflip in competition history. In 2004 and 2005, the event moved to an urban environment at the abandoned Pabst Brewery complex in Milwaukee, Wis., and featured a unique course with double the jumps and elements the riders faced in prior competitions. In 2006, Red Bull Fuel + Fury will return to its roots: the backcountry.
For more information please visit: www.redbullfuelandfury.com.
Cody and Jason stopped in for a quick hello today and told us a couple stories. They've been playing around in the backcountry here in Whistler and are both heading up to the AK for the Red Bull Feul and Fury event. Good luck guys.
