w00t There have been so many sad or upsetting posts lately. I would like to hear some of your best Practical jokes or pranks that your have pulled on your fellow sledders.

Myself and a buddy raced last year and for the first time he won. Well all day he keep bragging how fast he was. In the bar, on the river everywhere we stopped. I told him I would get my revenge one day. Well that day came by real soon. One night he was in a hurry and forgot to park his sled in the garage. When I drove by his place and saw his sled in the front yard, Revenge started. That night I removed his sled from the front yard and carefully placed it bumper to bumper wedged into between two tree's. It took me and my brother 20 min to move the sled with out starting it (pushing and pulling). And another 20 min to wedge the sled. I was just my luck it started snowing just enough to cover my tracks.

The look on his face the next morning was priceless. I wish his wife had a camera ready when he came back into the house.
He so frustrated that he took the chainsaw and cut down one the trees to get his own sled out.
Ever since then he doesn't brag as much when he does win.

Lets hear your best prank or practical joke.

:D :D :D :lol:

Oh man the best one played on me? Id have to think about that for a while. Ill update when I can figure somethin out K.

The old hit the kill switch on the way by trick :) it's a clasic lol

going down the trail grab a low hanging snow covered branch and give it a good tug . watch your mirror as the person behind you gets a lap full of snow . M

Awesome I love the Kill Switch Prank

It's hard to bet a classic.

Me , and my buddy planned to go on a long trip out on the trails. So we got all the gear together the evening before. He ended up buying a sub, at the local sub shop, so he could take it on our trip for a quick , and easy trail lunch. Well the same evening he bought it I got hungry, and yes ate the sub. I wanted to delay the almost certain cursing, so I found a small towel , and rolled it up in the sub package as if it still was there... Well after about 3 hours of riding he was looking forward to digging in to his lunch. He could not understand why I rode away quickly , as he pulled out the thought to be sub. He was really laughing mad at me. I couldn't even make it up to him by buying his lunch after his towel discovery. I forgot my wallet . HE he

The only prank that comes to mind right now is another classic, I think?
You are out riding and when your buddy stops and leaves his machine for what ever reason you pop the hood and turn his gas off! The first time you do this to them it will take a while for them to figure it out... after that they never fall for it again. I have pulled that trick a couple times and it is pretty good playing along with the joke only 500 feet from the gas station where they just filled up. Not the best joke but it's alright :D

Last year while on our northern ontario tour, one of the guys (about 6'4 and 280) took a little hill too quick and it dropped off quick also, his saddle bags fly into the air behind him and he didn't notice. The last guy picked them up put them on his sled and kept riding not telling him. After a couple stops, he still hadn't realized. The sled with his bags on rode up to the front when we stopped, and put the bags under the front of the sled. Then we "noticed" that his bags where missing. And it must have happened when he hit that little jump way back. He was pissed that he lost them, and wanted to go back. we told him he could get some clothes in the next town, which would have been ok except he said he had medication in it also. He was starting to get stressed. Then someone noticed that there was something under the front of the sled, and it happened to be his bags, The driver of the sled told him he never noticed and they must have got caught under there way back when he lost them.

We did eventually tell him.

The kill switch trick never gets old. Best time to do it is right at the beginning off a drag race on a lake. Get on his right side, fairly close, offer to to do the count in the air with your left hand. One, Two, SLAP his switch! Now Hit it! You're guaranteed an easy win even if you're riding a lowly Cat......he he he....

The killswitch one is good I hate it!! lol

1) when i'm leading the pack i like to lead them down a unknown dead end trail, and being my 2002 t-cat has reverse.( most of theres don't) i just turn around and laugh as i roost them with snow, dragging there skids around. doesn't get me to many lunches bought tho.

2) when we stopped for gas, i didn't get my cap on straight( my own fault really) and got gas all over my jimmys, whew! the big mouth obnixous newbe my buddy brought ,just thought that was the funnyist thing, till i loosened his at are last stop before we hit the motel. :devil:

3) last few weekends its been a snowball it the pocket

4) partner put a rainbow sticker on our other buddys back at the lunch stop he was wondering why everyone was laughing at him

5)partner was hungry and we stopped for gas before we got back to the motel. he bought a smoked fish at the deli. he eat about half of it, and having no room in his trunk, he not thinking slid the fish which was in a brown paper bag, in his coat sleeve. my other buddy and i looked at each other and laughed,we know it was about to be a hard sweaty 10 mile ride back to the crib. :lmao: he spent the rest of the three day weekend smelling like a nasty old ????? you know what i mean. :D

When you stop at a stop sign or what ever, sneak up behind the guy/gal infront of you and shove their snow flap up into the tunnel with your ski loop. Becareful not to go to fast while doing it though. As soon as they take off their sled makes a nice little grinding/rubbing noise and starts to vibrate. They look all over and never even think about the tail flap.

Best one I have heard of yet was from some guys we met in Clam Lake WI. this year. They installed a remote "off" on one of the guys sled. Kind of like a remote start but he was able to make it where it would kill the ignition. They did it about 2 or 3 years ago. They all had new sleds. I think they were xc 800s. Anyway, the guy who installed it knew what he was doing. He installed remote starters and alarms on vehicles. The guy the did it to was usually leading. When they would come to a stop he would hit the remote in his pocket just when his buddy was taking off and his sled would just die!!!!!!!! LOL. They did this for a day or so. He was getting pretty pissed that his sled kept dyeing out. They finally had to tell him what they did. It was a good joke. The guy they did it to was not laughing to much at first. They did say they were not stupid about it. They only did it just before he was taking off. Not when he was flying down the trail!!!!! :lmao:

I hate jokers, there is no use for them on this planet. :lookaround:

We were out on the lake and my buddies yammy died, when he pulled the plugs. They looked ok so when he was putting them back in the cap to check for spark I gave the old pull cord a yank.Thats always fun he did do a little dance for us...

how can you not laugh at that . M

Took a buddies belt off once while he was in the restuarant. When he started it up and hit the gas he went nowhere fast. He was flippin out thinkin something was seriously wrong. Then another friend, who had the belt said he would lend him his spare. Never clicked in his head that an 02 edge and a 00 zr don't use the same belt. We finally told him and got a good laugh. He told us he took it easy the whole ride cuase he didn't want to hurt the other guys belt.

Best I ever had played on me was when I went to the restroom at the bar and some friends stole my keys. They then started my sled when they went out, i was supposed to catch up adter the bathroom. I spent 10 minutes freaking out bout my keys in the bar. They tried to tell me i left it running the whole time at the bar but I knew better. Still funny.

All I have to say is that Polaris doesn't put reverse beepers on there new electronic reverse sleds. :wink:

My buddy has a tuned pipe on a 700 tripple VMAX. We were getting ready to leave a bar, and I was parked to his right. When he wasnt looking i reached over and pulled the reverse lever. Between the pipe and influence of adult beverage, he didn't hear the beeping. He grabbed the throttle, went over the handlebars and hood landing on his back. the sled buried itself in the snowbank behind us.


This isn't a prank, but it is funny. We were drag racing down the lake last weekend and one guy suddenly slowed down as if his sled died. When we turned around, his sled was still running and he was looking under the hood. It reved up fine, but would not move. We shut it off and went to check the belt. Just then the last person in our group rode up, and he had the track off of the sled with him. We all looked at the bottom at the same time, and saw only the suspention, with no track. 4 of us missed that diagnosis.

I guess I need to get more creative. THe only ones I do are the classics, hitting the kill switch and turning off the gas.
THe one about poking the snow flap up into the track is a good one though. Although I'd be mad if it happened to me cause the studs destray the flap in no time at all.

With all the powder it looks like you ride, just curious as to why you run studs? Do they do anything in the powder?
Wayne

On one ride we had a real HOT Head. Always mouthing off to everyone for no reason. It's as if his shat did not smell.
Well, we stopped for the night at the hotel and we snatched his helmet. sprayed the inside with a lttle water and stuck in the restaurant freezer for the night.
The next morning he had a nice cool head for the rest if the trip back home.

The powder is when I'm home in Newfoundland, usually for about a month every winter. In Ontario I ride at least 80% groomed trails, and this year especially studs are a necessity. Conditions are Icy every where.
But to answer your question, no, studs don't do anything in powder.

......... swapping boot liners, telling "newbie" passengers that flapping arms or patting helmet means last in line, find a group with communicators and follow them while making um ... err . :blush: ..... sex noises on YOUR comminucator, I've gotta think ..... I've forgotten far too many.

Geez, it's too bad we didn't meet up the other weekend. Sounds like you be a hoot to go out riding with. :lmao:

At a bar or restaurant.. when one leaves helmet unattended for a few minutes.. providing it's an electric shield.. if it's a 2 piece cord, take it apart and put a small piece of plastic straw over the male end and put back together.. they'll be all fogged up in no time.

I always like to pull the tether off of the Ski-Doo's that use it as a key. Anyone's sled that has a tether for that matter. My SRX has one, and I hate it...lol.

aawwwww geeeez ..... :blush:

1. me and a buddy were going across the lake at about 50-60 mph, and he pulled right up beside me with both of our skis touching. So since he wasn`t wearing his DESS teather, and it was just dangaling there, I took it off and threw it behind me. we found it, but he didn`t think it was funny.

2. when all of us ride toghter we shoot alot of open water, so if your following someone you try to hang back so you dont get all wet. well my buddy chad has a M7, let me tell you that thing has no problem throwing a 50+ foot rooster tail. we are comming up on a bridge, and its open, my buddy gets right on his ### forgetting about how much water he is going to drink. well after he came out the other side he looked like he went for a swim.

hahahaha :devil: SWRules :lmao: :thumbsup: :sly: :lookaround: :wink: :crazy: :tongue: :rolleyes: :unsure: :ohmy:

best one i ever had palyed o me was at my cabin we left the sleds outside they then put the cover on my sled while i was sleeping and piled about 6 feet of snow ontop of it at teh end of the drive way and i thought someone stoll my sledd bec you souldnt even sea anypart of it.

On one particular trip we were all coming from different locations and decided to meet up at a restaurant for breakfast before getting on to our destination.While we were all in the restaurant a few of us went to the parking lot an unhooked a buddy`s trailer then went back in without him knowing.
