SNOW HAWK

You mean that? I have a feeling it would be a good way to get hurt. It used to only come in a kit so they weren't liable.

being a MX racer I'd love to get to take one for a spin.

I would think that your feet could slip off quite easily, but I could be wrong.

The Snow Hawk by AD Boivin is a high adrenaline snow bike that is aimed at the 16 to 40 year old person who seeks a new and exciting, physically demanding sport.

The Snow Hawk feels more like a cross between a dirt-bike and a Jet-Ski watercraft. It has a light-weight feel and is very agile,

The Snow Hawk is available with two track lengths; a standard 121" version and a longer 136" version for deeper snow and hill climbing.

Obviously it isn't for the ordinary snowmobiler. You have to be a (rich)motocrosser by heart and need something very similar to do when the snow flies.

I wouldn't mind giving it a shot. I mean, if you know how to ride dirtbike and snowmobile, this is a cross between the two so you should be able to get the hang of it rather quickly. Hmm, I wonder where I can ride one....

Tisk, tisk. I personally don't mind a bit of change.

once again, just cuz I don't like em doesn't mean everyone else has to dislike them.

Yeah, they will eventually catch on I think. People will think of them as a stand up watercraft. Only it is a version that goes on frozen water!

I think it's a hopeless attempt to create a dirtbike that can go on snow.
