When we go up north with our regular group of guys half of our trip is spent pulling pranks on the guys in our group in the other cabins. One year when we got back to the cabin at 3 in the morning we put 2 of our buddies' sleds on top of a picnic table - stuff like that. Couple of years ago we had one that took the cake. Had a couple guys from our cabin go in to another cabin and start shootin the bull with 'em. Then we piled up a bunch of snow in front of the door and dragged a sled over to it (unstudded MXZ). 2 of our guys positioned themselves out of the attack zone and then we lifted up the back end of the MXZ and fired her up while holding up the snowflap. The plan was to send a couple of bursts into the cabin but my buddy put it right to the handlebar and we set it down onto the snowpile at about 70mph. All you could see was a WHITE SQUALL behind the sled and into the cabin while another guy held open the door. The guys inside said it looked like some of those movies showing the nuclear bomb blasts as the squall blasted a couple of dudes sitting on the couch and coated the wall with about 2 inches of snow. It surprised me and the other guy holding up the sled and we kind of dropped it all the way and it took off across the yard right smack into a tree with my other buddy still hanging on to it. Trashed the bumper and cracked up the hood. One of the dudes in the cabin was NOT PLEASED but the other two thought it was a classic and it definitely was. Fortunately, nothing in the cabin was damaged and this one pretty much took the cake so we chilled out on the pranks after that. Sled damage was around $250.00 but man was it funny at the time. Just wondered if anybody else had any good pranks.

You mean like riding through the woods when the snowy boughs are hanging and reaching up to shake some snow on your buddie behind you?

Or wait till your buddy is takin' a leak beside the trail and shake tree!

I couldn't answer for others on this forum but if somebody shot snow into a rental cabin that I was responsible for, or damaged my sled, I think I'd be a little pizzed........

well mike, i think it is nice of you not to answer for others but you can for me.
that prank has to be one of the most stupid ludicrous antics i have heard of and i hope it was done by teenagers half drunk because if anyone later in years done that i never want to meet them.

Remember the older style snow flaps that were made of a flexible rubber flap that sort of hung there, not like the current stiff flaps? I used to ride with a guy on a Yami that during a stop, would nonchalantly reach back and lift the flap and goose the throttle hard. Usually would throw a large rooster of snow on the guy behind him. He was a master at that trick. And of course the old grab the branch with snow on it trick is a good one for the guy close behind you.

I'm with you MikeD.

But, speaking of pranks, every year, our group tries to get someone with a surprise J***A**. If you've seen "Happy Gilmour" you'd know what I'm talking about. The best one we did was this:

We stuck a two-way radio under my uncles bed in the other cabin & turned up the volume as loud as it goes. At about 2AM, when the rest of us were playing poker & my uncle was fast asleep, we held down the button on the other two-way, & all of us screamed J***A**!!!!!

To this day, it goes down as the best surprise J***A** in our groups history.

Looking back on it I pretty much agree with you Paul but this is quite the wild group and I think we kinda learned from it. We are definitely a kinder, gentler bunch now but you still have to be a bit wacko to hang with this group.LOL

Karl,
I resemble that remark. LOL

Here is one my wife pulled off on me . My first trip to North Bay with a bunch of WILD GUYS .. it was the first trip with them , my wife took all my underwear out of my bag and changed them all with hers ... OH man she got me GOODDDD !!!! all of them where laughing so hard they allmost pissed them selfs . That was 5 years ago ... and to this day they still Laugh at that one . I check my bag now before I go . Hahaha

rotflmao w00t :lol: bigmac you take the cake. that some funny sh*t :lol: ......steve

Children...... :(

I hate pranksters! If that happened to me someone would be in for some serious WOOP-A$$!

A good friend of mine lost an eye because of a moron doing a 10 grand hole shot to see how bad he could bury him........ :cussing:

It's friends like yours that trash motels and raise the price for the rest of us. :confused:

whew :ohmy: :( i guess it's all fun and games till someone loses an eye.

yup the fun is all gone when someone gets hutr. Have fun but be safe when doing it and think first.... :)

we always play a game that we try to hit each others kill switches. When we are goofing off on our property or in the neighborhood we will pull up next to someone in our group who is just sitting or going slow and hit their switch and take off.

THe group we ride in consists mainly of older Poo's and the key is a pain in the arse to turn on and off with big mits, so we just use kill switches, but my one buddy rides an 01 indy 500, and he ALWAYS uses his key. When he goes someplace we just click his Kill switch down and he will come out, turn the key on, and pull, and pull, and pull and pull some more. We will go over, lift his hood, check for spark and everyting, then one of us will be like just try it again, after we put the switch up, and it will fire in 1 pull then, and he always falls for it. He is like well WHAT THE HECK?? I am gonna have to get this dang thing checked. And we laugh our butts off.

bigmac,,,,,wow,,,,I just sat and laughed my *** off on that one,,,,,I will definetly be checking the bags before I leave and I definetly wont let the wife hear about that one!!!!! but I got a buddy,,,,,that just might find womens underwear in his bag his next trip!!!!! thanks

bigmac, Man my gut hurts from that one. Poweful funny stuff :lol: . I hope you got her back.

My brother is a bit of a prankster,but is a very safe and cautious snowmobiler.He told me he was riding in the mountains in Quebec with 3 of his buddies,got ahead of the other guys quite a ways and come to a 90 degree turn in the trail which overlooked about a 200 foot drop.He made a track to the edge of the bank with his machine ,backed it into the bush on the other side of the trail to hide it,ran back across the trail and part way down this enbankement.When the other guys came along,he waved his hands in the air,they stopped with fear in their eyes,helped him up the bank and continued to look to the bottom for his machine.As they were looking in disbelief,he walks across the trail in the bush,starts his machine and says "stop looking,I found it" and drives away laughing.The guys with him still talk about that till this day.

:devil: :lol:

Got one of the guys real good a couple of years ago. We went to N.W. Ontario to a buddies cabin and one night after the daily ride was done we were all sitting around having a few drinks and one of the guys fell a sleep on the couch. We grabbed a hot dog wiener and stuck it in his mouth and slid it in and out. He started to wake up and we tossed the wiener away. He new something was in his mouth and when he opened his eyes we were all standing there with our pants down holding our johnsons. The look on his face was priceless. He knows the real story now but we still bug him. On another trip we placed some womans panties in one of the guys bags just before we headed home. His wife was in on it. When he got home he was unpacking his bag in front of his wife and came across the panties. He was surprised and didn't know what to say. His wife went on and on about how he was cheating on her instead of sledding. After a while she let him in on the joke.

man rob,,,the panties trick would have had me sleeping in the dog house,,,and that is if she was in a really GOOD mood when I got home

glad she was in on it

Sometimes when we go we stay in cabins and bring out own food. At night when the people are out of one of the cabins we'll go over and hardboil a bunch of their eggs so they can't crack them in the morning. 98mxz583, we do the same thing with the kill switches. Sometimes when we are riding and we get someone that takes a lead and never looks behind him. When we get the guy doing this we'll just stop and push some guys sled on its side then have him laying quite a ways behind it with all of us huddled around it. When the guy comes back we chew his ### for taking off when we got someone injured, then we all start laughing and take off on our sleds and leave him since his is still facing the other way.

A friend of mine was out riding with his buddies, they stopped in a field and were gonna have a fun little drag race, well one guy had a ski-doo with reverse, but he had no buzzer when reverse was on. So right when there lined up one of the guys reached over and put his sled into reverse, they say go he punches it, goes right over the handle barsand takes out the windshield.

Pullin up next to a fellow rider and hitting his killswitch is always a classic, although it is a little tricky.

Let me just say BOAT RACE. I don't want to give it away incase you havent been caught in it. I got caught in it at a curling bonspeil in Minneapolis, they called it USA vs Canada.

My vote goes to 1holeshort for the best one so far. Most of the others are classics. zert, PM or e-mail me what a boat race is please. We have a big group that is always up for a laugh.

Zert,
Totally uncool. You've got to let us in on the boatrace.

Last year I was the victim of a real funny prank. I pick up my new 03 800 Rev from my dealer and headed out for my first ride, about a 1/2 hr later I cound not read both gauges for the fog. Two hours later I looked down at my gas gauge and seen it on empty. I rode 1/2 hr out of my way to find a gas station. When I filled it up it was only half empty. Later in the season my engine seized 6hrs from my dealer , paid $400 to get it hauled back on a Sunday morning. Gasket on the bottom end was faulty and leaned it out. Got it back from the dealer completely rebuilt and now I was told that there is a up date kit for the PTO crank seal so the engine will have to be ripped apart again. Boy those guys at Bombardier know how to kid around, I bet their laughing their ###'s off at me for buying this sled and spending $12000 Cnd. And thats not all during the summer ski-doo sent me a pamplet saying they would give me a cash payment if I could play a prank on one of my friends and get them to spring order a new 04 machine. I tell you Ski-doo knows how to play a Joke on people. :tongue:

LMFAO Chud!!!!!

It's always fun to drop your foot in the snow when you're a little ahead of and to the side of your buddy, and kick a nice even rooster tail into his face.

I usually ride in central MN, and we will ALWAYS find cat tails, you break one off and then ride up next to your buddy and either hit his windshield or hit him in the chest with it. they will be picking little pieces of cotton off of them for hours...

mayne800,

Those peolpe at SkiDoo know how to have a good time.
They get us every year.

A couple years back, my buddy & I were waiting for our other slow buddy at T in the trail south of Dorset heading to Baysville. We decided to hide in outhouse at the juction. A minute later a guy with his wife and mother in law drive up to the junction and stop. We think that is our slow buddy and come flying out of the outhouse. You should have seen the look on the faces of the guy with the 2 women. Then each took turns looking at each other then back at us. We tried to explain why were in the #### house. I am sure they thought we were gay. We never laughed so hard in our lives.

This may sound odd at first but here it goes. I was up in northern Maine (place called Kikadjo in the moosehead lake area). Anyway We had a cabin in the middle of the woods in between 2 huge mountains right on moosehead lake. We had to brake 3 feet of powder just to get out there. So it's -20 out, there was actually a advisory sent out to stay inside, but of course we road anyway. I came up with the idea to pee in a plastic cup inside, then quickly open the door and fling the pee out of the cup real quick and then re-use it through the night. So they all followed my idea, I woke up that morning (had to pee bad) before anyone else, the sun was shining early, so I figured I would pee outside. I open the front cabin door and right then and there I dropped onto my knees crying. There were about 10 trails of pee that were about 15 feet long and spread out wide(from us just flinging the pee out of the cups), i wish I got a picture..you had to be there. It looked like a friggin moose shot out a urine everywere. We still laugh hard to this day about it. Memories man, funny stuff.

Sea Doo and Triple,
Thanks for the laugh this morning. Nice way to start a Monday!

THE BOAT RACE
Ok guys here it is.

You get some cookie sheets with a lip all around it that will hold water in. You make little boats of anything that will float (match books work great, just fold the top up and don't put it in the water until just before take off). Works best if you have a sail on it also. You get the contestants to line up on one side of the cookie sheet and tell them that when your hand comes down they have to blow the boat accross the sheet, first one to the other side wins. As they get down real close to start blowing you raise your hand and bring it down right in the middle of the cookie sheet. SPLASH everyone gets wet. HEHEHE. The bigger you can build up the hype the better. When I got caught everyone was in on it. You always use new guys, not anyone that knows it. Everyone that knows about it can get in on it and help hype it up. :D :devil: :cussing: :ohmy:

My buddies got me last year when we stopped in the UP somewhere to get a bite to eat. It was a colder day and we were talking about how crisp the sleds were running. After we finished and hit the trail again, everytime I hit a bump my sled was missing and quitting out on me. I pulled over and proceeded to look over the motor and found all 3 plug wires were just sitting on top of the plugs.

Another time when we stayed in Mercer, apon hitting the trails on the 2nd day, walking out to the sleds we noticed they swithed windshields around on the sleds.
We have same style sleds, gold chrome, green chrome and balck windshields. My gold one was now green. We just left them that way.
:dazed: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

a good trick i played on a buddy of mine was him and another friend were about to drag race it was really dark out at the time so i got off my sled and went over to his and grabed onto the rear bar just as he waas about to take off right as he came on to it i picked up the back bar and he did,t go anywhere so than he turned and let go with one hand but was still holding it wide open so i let go and it fetched up and h fell of the back and the seld took off accross the feild bo did he ever get covered in snow

i thought this was pretty funny!
i wacthed a bunch of guys on my lake take one of thier buddys sleds and put it ontop of a floating dock and push it out into the water. this was after a freak snowfall and the lake was still unfrozen. thier buddy woke up and though someone stole his sled but when he looked out on the lake there she was. funnyest reaction ive ever seen to a prank and i gotta say it was the best thought up prank ive seen.
and noone lost an eye!

My buddy thought it would be cool to put someone else's sled in reverse (the manual handle type of Reverse).......SO he did it to his brothers sled at a bar one day.
Well his buddy came out and they jumped on their sleds quick and nailed the throttle...........well he forgot that he parked HIS sled BEHIND his brothers (thats now in Reverse).............Anyway he hammered it and smashed directely into his brothers sled....... :lol: nothing really hurt except his own Pride for screwing himself!

Pranks are fun, but thats when stuff gets broke and people get really mad!
be smart!

I think the pranks are great! if no one is getting hurt or peoples machines getting broke it's all good by me!! the other day I was at a buddies farm I went into his shop to take a dump, and when i come back outside to hop back on my snowmachine and there's an old horse saddle on the seat! I just looked at him and thought this is the first ride of the season and already the pranks have started, but we all had a good chuckle!

life is to short not to have some harmless fun!

When I was in the NAVY there was a joke to play on all of the new people comming onto the base. When we were eating at the Gally there was always all sorts of condiments on the table. Here's a little sonething to do with them. After your done eating grab a little bit of everything on the tabel an plile it on top of what ever you didn't eat execpt for the salt. Tell some one that you are going to create a chemical reaction with the salt and the big pile of goop will give off some heat when you add the salt. After you sprinkle a little bit of salt on the pile and they put their hand over top of it to feel the heat you smack their hand right into the slop. We used to love that one! Amzing how many people will fall for it.
