braaap_cowboy Posts : 14 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 04, 2007 i was out today, and being that im in eastern ontario, we havn't seen snow like this for a few years, i managed to crank a culvert with my left ski,.. i've ridin that spot for a long time but as i was getting up to it, i thought that i was over to the left to much and as soon as that went though my mind, i was over the handle bars on my back. i thgouth i broke my knee when itr hit the bars but i manged to walk it off with some vulgar language. the slde fared out allright at first inspection other then a big slice on the inside of my left ski but i'll have to get a straight egde out and measurin tape and make sure the geometry is still good... has anyone ever done this,..

Twice, and it hurts! The 1st time I did it, my brother was on the back and smashed his face into my helmet. I have a better one for you. My old man and me were racing through some woods, and were from MN so there is lots of creeks and lakes. Anway were hauling ass and my jumps this ditch ( pretty wide but he cleared it) no problem. He was on his Indy 400 I forget the yeare but it was a light sled. I had barrowed my grandfater's sled wich was a 1991 Skidoo Formula Plus Long track 2 up seat, basically a TANK! I thought if I could get enogh speed I could make it. I was wrong. Hit the ice and the right ski went through. It stoped the sled and Och! I went through the wind sheild, but not befor blasting my legs against the handle bars. The trailing arm on the sled was toast, Grandpa was pissed, and my legs were brused for almost to months. Ohyeah the old man laughed his ass off
