hi, i have a 1989 arctic cat jag 340. don't think it's a beater or anything because it is in MINT condition. anyways here is my wacking thing: i'm at my friends farm (we have snow up here in canada) doing jumps and messing around. we were doing fairly small jumps off snow banks, hills and what not and i decide yo hit this little tiny snowbank about half a foot tall. i hit the gas (not full open though) thinking i'm not going to get any air and then BAM! i launch my self about 4 feet in the air and fly for a good 8 feet. I know it's not very extreme but it scared the crap out of me because i didn't see it coming. Anyways because i wasn't read, i fell off on the landing, the machine landed fine and only rolled a little ways. no harm done but i guess this is a warning when you are messing around or just trail riding for that matter to not underestimate a small bump. if you have a light sled like me you can fly pretty far. i guess if you have a heavy one you would have to be going fast but anyways, be careful!
