Keep it up. the sled is easier to adjust in the air (if you know what your doing) because the track is ten times larger than any wheel. so when you hit a jump, in the air to lift the front you just get on the gas… or to bring the front end down you pull the brake lever in and it motion of the track stopping dropps the front\ thanks by the way > jay\_g - Impressive, nice job controlling it in the air, 99% of people would have have lost it on those jumps/landings, 440 or 600? Those IQ’s are really nice, im a ski-doo guy at heart but I would definitely ride that. Must have major $ into it but I bet you also have some good sponsors to help out. Good idea on the water to help cool it down. to having the balls to hang it out up there. > Ive been dreaming of doing a REV hybrid with a 440x chassis and a mild built 670 but my bank account says other wise. Its a 600 iq…I dont have any money into it… Ive been riding for the factory for a few years now, and just signed a three year Pro deal ---
