Honest answers please. he he he

I DOO have to say I like to pass people. *It's hard not to with a hopped up Mach Z...right??? http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

tough poll. I depends on how I feel and/or who I'm ridding with.

With my wife, slow(very slow http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif ) *and sceenic

With my daughter - handle bars rubbing, snow in face competition. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif

With my buds, depends on the group. sometimes fast sometimes slow. I go on trips for 1000's of miles. Can't race full out on unknown trails.

I know, I should have put in one for both styles. *Sorry. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/withstupid.gif

moved to general

Tough one. *I would have to say speed freak on the wide straights, but them when riding with a large group, or unknown trails, its more scenic....

I say ride to the conditions and let her rip if you know the trail well enough. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif

at night we rip, i'd say we are cautious during the day. *the trails we ride locally are really tight http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/nervous.gif

Try to ride with the conditions,the crowd and the time of day.
More likely to go balls out at night when you can see headlights coming.

I go balls out till about 70 then I realize what I am doing and usually cruise at about 40 if with my parents, or 60 if with my friends *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I like to ride on the Seat!! lol... better control that way!

I didint vote i would have to say all of the above, depending on my mood and weather.

I did not vote either *Two many variables on the trails. *depends on where when conditions,
who I am with. *etc * * http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif *What trails are you riding *I havent seen any snow on the trails in months. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I'm one of the slowpokes. *I like to get out and enjoy the scenery. *Of course, I don't get to get out and go sledding often enough to get comfortable with higher speeds.

Your missing a style. *The guys I ride with and I like to ride the trail through the river valley(only place you can find hills in ND) and we spend most of our time climbing the hills and jumping. *Otherwise we are average speed on the trails is around 40-50.

ZR, it's for your riding style. *Climbing and jumping is toying around when you're bored. LOL * http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I ride toward the rear of the group to make sure every body make to the rest stop. But if I knowthe trail I'm with the speed freak up front. *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

it depends... i tend to be on the fasterside... it used to go fast at night too till i got a good scare and had a deer jump over the front of my sled with me on full brake scared the #### out of me when i was goin about 75 saw eyes and naild the brakes i cliped his leg with the ski and tripped him *i think i went about 25 the rest of the way home.. so it really does depend on weather and condit i think most of us are the same with this one

PASS AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AND MAKE SURE NOBODY PASSES ME I GOT 3 YEARS STRAIGHT NO PASSING ON ME http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

reep in the scenary................... then leave it in the dust!!!!!!!

I honestly wish the trails were one way, to make it safe when I want to go real F*****g fast!!!!

Oh I see arcticzrt600. *Well I guess we must be bored most of the time then.

Don't take me the wrong way ZR500. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Arcticzrt600 *I really do think we are bored all the time. *There is no such thing as senery in ND or at least around here. *Its all flat and the only trees are planted in rows around the farms. *Its time for a change. *I think we are going to make a big trip somewere this year if it snows. *Last year are plans fell through because of the lack of snow.

If the conditions allow, I go for speed. *But like it all.

FishHog

Like letting a dog off the leash. I like to ride as fast as I can at all times if the conditions allow it.

very fast and aggressive and and always in front. right Panteraone. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

The majority of the time it's hammer down, skimming across the tops. *But I always listen to my gut feeliing, it never fails me. *If I feel like something isn't right, I back off for a while. *Last year my buddy was leading down a railroad bed about 100 mph and he slowed down due to that feeling...sure enough, we came around a blind curve and 3 sleds parked, one sled in the middle of the trail. *There would have been a lot of plastic flying if my buddy hadn't listened to that instinct.
Does anyone else get those feelings and they turn out to be right?

I do get those feelings, but I sure don't rely on them to tell me when to be cautious.

If heading at a blind curve at 100mph isn't reason enough to slow down (without a gut feeling), I hope I'm not riding around your buddy.

Me too, especially if you're on my side of the trail. *Actually Fishhog, it was a long curve on a wide trail which is no problem if everyone is on their side of the trail. *Who said anything about relying on a gut feeling to be cautious, should be cautious all the time!

Sled smart boyz. Atleast we should. Even if you are a good rider which I am sure most of us are; you can still DIE on the trails without it being your fault. I belive it was 2 years a go that a guys that worked with my friend got killed by inexperiance; But not his. He was takeing a large long curve on the outside going about 70-100mph. Comeing the other way also on the outside was an inexperianced rider. Well you can just imagine what happen to the guys if I said that the two sleds were fusied together after that one.

So I guess the morle of that story is: Just because you are sober and driving safe you may still be in danger.

I must admit that I doo fit in the speed freak category but I still drive safe ( I know I might regret writing that). I'm always on my side of the trail (except for those long strech of nicely groomed trails) and I drive with the thought that if there was a tree across the trail, I could avoid it at all times, or at least 98% of the times... I consider myself as being in controle but not overcautious.

Am I in the right forum? I'm beginning to feel a little embarrassed to admit I'm a part of this forum with these voting results. *Or maybe just a little scared to go out onto the trails.

AC, you can be my wingman anytime!!! * http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

You forgot to put in off trail as one of the choices http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Just find a nice trail and put the black tap around the throttle to the handle bars and let her go. Watch out for thouse buggers that stop at the end of a corner. Man does that bug me.
