	So true, it's cool to see them ripping it up on the older sleds. Some of the stuff they were hitting was pretty insane for those sleds. 1989 indy 650 1994 articat puma 340 2003 ktm 200sx 2002 ktm 520 exc Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Didn't you make a thread not too long ago about wanting to long track your triple or buying a modded mountain sled. And now you don't need all that horsepower to ride powder? 1999 Polaris XC SP 700 Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Quote originally posted by triplefever to all of you who think you need a 200 foot track and a gazillion horsepowerto ride powder and the moutains yea it might be cool to have the bells and whistels but you dont need them to have fun You do know that they are riding the newest and best sleds when that film was made. Just the same as today. I don't understand this post. Having fun on old beater sleds????? When this was filmed these sleds were the kings. You could not get any better sleds. We ride todays sleds now and in 20 years we will be looking back at todays sleds and see how incapable they are of not climbing everything that is out there and not having 300 stock horsepower. Good video but your thoughts on it are totally wrong. 2010 Arctic cat snopro 153 2005 M7 153. -Wifes sled 2002 Polaris built 800 turbo.

	when the video was made a long track was 1 144" now a stock sled comes with a 162 so yea big difference...the point is you can still have fun riding in pow with a sled that doesnt have all the bells and whistle's so if you are incapable of understanding this, which is in plain english, then you are just retarded Quote originally posted by polaris_xc_racing Didn't you make a thread not too long ago about wanting to long track your triple or buying a modded mountain sled. And now you don't need all that horsepower to ride powder? yes i did but did i say i couldnt have fun riding my sled with a 136 in some powder might not be able to ride were its steep and real deep but i still could have fun riding on what i could Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

Not much longer then the 144. If you want a 162 you are looking to climb the biggest and the best. But that wont get you the best sled for boondocking. You have a point is saying you dont have to have a sled that has all the bells and whistles. But that video you showed was sleds with all the bells and whistles. A fine point but not one that goes with that video. 2010 Arctic cat snopro 153 2005 M7 153. -Wifes sled 2002 Polaris built 800 turbo.
