Mikadoo,

Please e-mail me your phone number or e-mail address so I *can talk to you about the 4th of July. It sounds like a great time! I would like to come up and watch the water skipping since I am WAY TO CHICKEN to do it with my "pride and joy"! Maybe if I see it done enough, I'll get the bug and actually do it. But, I'm a big chicken at the thought of the "Fast Mach Z" going under water!

LadyK, I notice you changed your location description. *I thought Bombi was in Valcourt, Quebec. *Or is that just where ski-doos are assembled?

Sled dog & Fast MachZ, We have not had anyone camp, as this a local event. My buddy that owns the land has no problem camping as long as no one leaves a mess.
At this time we only have 2 sleds [wow] coming. Last year we had a bunch and all went down *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/nervous.gif so most turned chicken this year, this is one reason I put it on SW to get more to come. I myself have crossed lot's of water in the winter but never in the summer. I dont like the take off and landing of his pond and could'nt imagine trying to dry out the electrical-seat and trying to prevent the engine from rusting inside!!!!!

We still have lots of 4 wheelers and mud buggies trying to go thru the swamp and ATV's running the woods. Even if no sleds show up, it's still a great time talking about sleds and meeting friends-drinking beer and watching the kids swim. Bring a sled,ATV, 4 wheel drive or just yourself and who ever else and have a good time!
Any more questions just PM me here http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Well, the 4th has come and gone and the party was another success. Only had 2 sleds a 97 Mach1 & a 2000 MXZ 700. They both cross the 200&#39; pond with ease, the 97&#39;s skis never touched the water! The 2000 crossed like he was going down the road. Later on, after a few beers, the guy with MXZ girl friend decided she wanted to do it [first time ever] her take off was good, but as soon as she hit the water she let off the throttle and blub, blub, blub, hehe! Woman drivers!! [no offence LadyK].
There was about 15 four wheelers, 5-6 ATV&#39;s, and 2 motorcycles, everyone had a ball trying to make it through the swamp, climbing dirt mounds and just buzzing thru the woods. We had a front end loader on hand to get the stuck one&#39;s out. The kids had a ball on the rope swing and diving board at the pond.
Had about 100-150 people there and tons of great food! Sorry if I missed anyone from here that might of come, maybe next year.........
