As Chadd (RIP) used to say...Pin it, to win it!

Postby Ken » Mon Mar 12, 2012 10:04 pm

Scott and I went snow riding on Sunday...the Rubicon is the ONLY legal snow riding area in El Dorado County.....thanks in part, to the efforts of the Rubicon Trail Foundation.

Well....It took a few attempts...but I finally made it up...and decided to run it again...so Scott filmed it. I LITERALLY...had the pedal mashed.

How does the SxS do compared to a quad in the snow?

Better...mainly due to power. I'm not sure an ATV would have made it up that...it doesn't look as "wild" on film...as it was in the RZR...it was like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride....bouncing, flying from track to track (previous wheel spots)...the whole time...Foot mashed.

You made it and this guy didn't, even though he was following someone else's tracks:



I guess he should trade in his crappy truck for a RZR. :P

haha...That was John Arenz...he's the VP of RTF....the key to his problem...was the snow was mushy. He made it up on Sunday (before scott and I).
