I hit a tree root w/ my sled and bent the a frames and spindle back about 13 inches. luckily a mechanic in town could bend it back while we ate lunch and it only cost us 75 bucks. the worst part was when i was thrown over the handle bars and slightly busted my hood
dont even need ski's in that deep of pow-try it somtime, best if you have an old beater to use, they had metal tubs up front and all you have to do is drop the ski's off. just remember to lean way way back, very important when stopping-otherwise it'll launch your ass like a lawn dart-get the feel down and you can dive under the snow-its just like riding a jet ski, but a jet ski thats going through the woods and up mountains:D
i hit a jump on my sled and landed broke the strut the shock and the ski in half... took it all off with the tools we had and rode ten miles back to my friends truck through back country.... im not trying to compete because chris could destroy me haha
i did this for kicks on my crossfire 600. i think i made it about 3 miles on the iron horse before i had to let er down. differet story in powder, though.
i busted my tie rod end goin about 60 on my mach .....not goina compare myself to the dude in the vid but that shit will scare the hell outa ya when you go to turn and one ski turns and the other one just stays strait ...lol dam stumps
The only reason he went to Polaris is because of their new sled that just came out...They let him have a sneak peek, he probably liked what he had seen. Then decided to switch. Would you go with the sled company that gives everything to you for free. Or the one that just gives you one or two sleds every couple years?
I used to have a Kawasaki Invader 440 that i was racing across a flat feild neir my place and my ski fell off too, I rode it home about 7 miles on 1 ski, But them old machines were super narow and tippy, and it was mostly flat open ground,
Now in the mountains with steep hills and twistys --that would be a challenge
The extended periods of each pic were kind of boring. My friend hit an embankment with his crossfire 7 and cracked his ski saddle, bent his a frame, broke his spindle, and bent his bulkhead so that his clutch rubbed againts it. Mucked up the whole left side of his sled. Interesting vid tho.
i did almost same thing, except i hit a tree, bent and cracked my bulkhead, broke windshield, bent steeing post, right ski was barly holding on, drove it back to my house, collected insurance and bought a new one (:
Not to mention the absense of the left shock. Its likely an ohlin gold series nitrogen resevoir piggback and costs more than your entire piece of shit sled.
Ok snowmobilingnut800. You obviously are just another extreme coucher with a cool name. You can't do that kind of damage without bending the flying nun and those A arms are vohk installed holtz titanium a-arms and billet aluminum spindles and the skiis are probably 500 bucks with the carbides. The tie rods steering arms and belly pan were probably shot. So there smart guy. Now do the math like someone who knows what the fuck they are talking about.
hahha nice. back when my dad was riding his Kawasaki invader 440 in maine he was going about 65mph and hit a washout. since it had leaf springs up front it couldnt take it and snapped the ski right off. he ended up riding 50 miles back to the house on one ski. hahaha
Chris will be back on a Cat in a couple years. the only reason he really made the switch was because they offered him more money.
And "snowmobilers please shut the hell up YOU have no idea what your talking about, im sure your coming of your last methhigh and are freaking out on people that know what there talking about, quit argueing its the facts dude. he does not ride for arctic cat ANYMORE!
Ya dude below me YOUR right he has signed with polaris it obvious that if he was still with cat he would not have polaris and only polaris as a sled sponsor obviously that makes no sense if he was still with arctic cat. And to the dumbshit below that says thats not his sled... dude he had tons of arctic cats sitting in his shop and he could pic any of them, just cause its not his black one or watever still doens't mea thats not his sled geezus people are retarded
check burandts back country adventures website. says full line of Polaris sleds! He signed with Polaris, its time for people to let it go that he doesnt ride for cat... theres 2 videos on youtube of him on a dragon rmk and an assualt
If "Snowmobilers" is any kind of man, he will post an apology on this page to QuadTard. Burandt rodefor Artic Cat for 10 years, now he is a factory Polaris rider. Look at his website, you can also see him race the Jackson Hole Hillclimb this March on an Assault.
@jcs12402 Kool polaris is awesome. Its all the rider. Jut sthe other day a guy is like my sled suck it doesnt carve. I jumped on it was a decent dump week. Banged out figure eights like no problem . Then hes like maybe its me we all LAUGHED hard. 100 days sledding ur a sledder. And can go anywhere your sled can go. 100 plus days and you need another 5000 $ for turbos so the sled can take you to the places YOU can go.
Actually u stupid Fuck, he rides a Polaris Assault. Last year he mainly rode a white M1000 with a pump gas turbo. He rode the black M8 with the Monster graphics in 2008. HOWEVER, he has 10 sleds and the one in this video is one of those 10.
That damage is probably around 2.5k depending on what exactly got torn off. I wounder if he could have just ridden off on the belly pan if he was in that much powder.
it may not be $3000 for just the ski/shock assembly but if he hit the tree hard enough to break all that off it's very likely he damaged the bulkhead, probably ruined some of the motor mounts too
this may be an expansive sled, but its not $3000 for the a arm shock, spring, and ski. new the sled is $10,999, do the math for both ski/shock assembly that would be $6000, i dont think the rest of the sled is only 4 grand.
Bmann obviously hasn't ever done this to his sled. Take it to a shop with this much damage, and let me know what the bill is. You can do the work yourself, but the shit is a pain in the ass and very time consuming. The parts don't put themselves on.
I would think that it wouldn't be all that bad driving it out as long as it was in powder, you would probably have some extra drag. but hey its a turbo, don't the skis stay in the air half the time??
True, his skis are off the ground most of the time. He still had to ride through a thick forrest to get out. There was no trail. Honestly, he probably could have made it out with both ski's busted off. The guy has insane skills. Check out his sick hillclimb on Slednecks 11.
You say he broke off his front ski. I hope so cuz if he broke off a back ski that would be really bad. Lol. And 3000 dollars, give me a fucking break, is he gonna buy a whole new sled.
but at 2:10 where you say $3000 later the m8 will be as good as new there wont be 3000 spent it will be one phone call from burandt to arctic cat and get thoes parts for free
well, it probably dropped the weight pretty good :)
and that must have been one hellofa rock to rip the entire thing out...we once lost a ski on a 500(we all had 500s) and we thought we were fucked for sure, but we just put where the ski was supposed to be onto the rails of another dude's rail and ran it out like that
it was a tree any way both situations would suck only bad thing so far for me is my brother wraping his sled around a sign thank god he wasnt hurt feel sorry for you guys that would suck
haha that would suck man i broke my a-arms and bent the spindle onmy 09 m8 and it was a bitch to ride back 30 miles and man thats the sickest sled ever and how was it 3000 dollers damage do u have titanium a-arms
