we may not have that much snow here but we have the frozen stiff stuff!! that makes it good for fast racing  , and crappy snowmobile conditions.

There is also an adult GT snowracer..  I've always wanted to take those crappy skis off them and replace em with real downhill skis that are cut short. Then it'd really cook!!!!

Jeff, yes I choo choo choose to live in Saskatchewan, and bless the snow as added insulation to protect from cold, flying hockey pucks and polar bears. I wished I'd have stocked up on Pilsner.
Did someone say snowracers? One time, in highschool, during welding class... I converted the 2 long rear ski tracks from their normal plastic (which bust up when I hit a barbed wire fence - which you Island type people could probably find a picture of on google) to 6'' sheet metal. I also dosed them up with ski wax.
They were so slippery, every time I'd try to use the wheel to turn the thing, the whole sled would turn on the metal tracks, to follow the steering ski, which had more traction, as I found out 1/2 way down the hill heading for an open cactus patch (for those who have not tobboganned in cactus country, the things are hard to pull from the perenium).
And it also weighed 80 lbs, which at the 40 miles an hour I was going, is a very damaging force, as I, and the 3 other boyscouts who were at the bottom of the hill, were soon to find out.
The plan looked good on paper.
Ryan

I'll take any of you on! 5.2ft of air is my record so far!

Back in the day we used to have barn-roof drop-off challenges. Big air was a bit of a sport 'round these parts. I could do 12 feet!

That vid is hillarious! Ok now a jump is big air and going off of something is called "hucking". Now that we have the lingo right..........round 2. One time I.........
I wonder if they make a Gt big enough for me. They have an adult one but it has probably still got a max weight limit that doesn't come close. I would have to get one custom made! Lets phone up Jesse James.
I wish I could have seen a video of Ryan trying to go down that hill.

Jeff you brought it all on yourslef when you said Markt Mark was your favorite actor. You have angered the gods.
On another not the kids just call them GTs. Thats what we called them when I was a kid and thats what they call them now. Grandma's and Grandpa's call them by thier full names. I guess when you only get snow once every 10 years you can't really be in the loop  .
