Quadding Spring 2011 in Alberta - Silverbacks galore!! (Can Am vs. Polaris)

May long weekend in Alberta. Went to Medicine Lake and found some serious mud with the guys. Took some great video and had a blast. I think we also managed to drink a few beers.

Cool man! I wanna go up to canada and ride sometime too. Did you guys break any axles with those 30s"

[jasonshave]

@hondarubiconowner Yes actually. The red Can Am busted an axle on day one. We managed to get another guy to pick one up in the city before he came out to meet us later that day. We found a used part and had the bike fixed that night. The Can Am was running a 2" lift with 30" Silverbacks and he likes to ride pretty hard.

I did. I did. Then again the side by sides did really really well and managed to make it through more than the quads did at times. When they managed to get stuck they were really really stuck but it was nice to see them rip it up.

also you said see you next spring? do you only do this ride once a year? or ride once a year?!

[jasonshave]

@bballplaya123678 We get one opportunity to get out as a group per year. We ride once a month usually for the odd day trip and a few other trips which are more family oriented.

[bballplaya123678]

so who won can am or polaris 850xp? you both had very similar setups

[jasonshave]

@bballplaya123678 Both bikes did very well. The Can Am's seemed to get stuck more. Then again it had a lot to do with the rider and the line you took.

hahahah i love this song. Hey bro i live in Red Deer....Never been to medicine lake but ive been up and through rig street and caroline a million fuckin times. I actually lost my polaris scrambler 500 in the muskeg. Literally, i ran at er in full bore and it just sank to the bottom. It was a piece of shit anyway, thats why i bought a 2010 outlander 650 last week. I spent the extra bucks and got a cargo box on the back, 30" silverbacks, new winch. You guys ever go to caroline?

Wicked Video! Nicely done with the editing. I notice you edited out all the pushing we did on the Po Pos! In all seriousness, all the bikes performed awesome! I guess we were all too busy tryin to get through that football field of skeg to get any footage!Loads of fun, can't wait till next time.
