This year will be my first year in 2 years attempting to ride again. Doctor has cleared me to attempt it. Sure, here are a few more pictures of the 96, and thanks for the compliments    That last one is when I first bought the 96 back in 2001 |

Hey Matt, how are those ski skins on your jag? I was thinking about getting some for my SRV.

Ski skins are awesome for the price. Just got to make sure you don't ride the snowbanks at an angle too much or you will wear out the sides as your riding at an angle.
They are great for when you first start to ride and your ski's are frozen to the ground, That don't happen as bad witih ski skins.
If you get them you also have to get extended length studs.
They have less resistance (I think) to steel ski's. But on your sled.. to make a huge difference I would find a set of plastic ski's that would fit it. Ski skins are nice, but plastic skis are better

How'd you crash your ZRT? Good thing you had others to ride though!

^ Long story short.. I hit a tractor rut riding on the trail on my way home from archery. 50 mph, pitch black, -20+ wind chill, riding alone. Broke ribs, cut spleen in two, severe lung contusion, pnemonia, hypothermia, and whatever else I am forgetting. I now ride with a tekvest on at all times.. everyone should!! Drs said they didn't know how I was still alive from all the internal bleeding.

ouch. Good to see you get back out there though. Lots of people would have forgotten sleds too quickly if that happened to them

Had 3 inches way up on top of the hill here. So I went up and back. I got the orange wheels rocking now (custom machined spacers so they would fit a ZRT), got my heated shield installed but I think I wired it wrong. I wired it into the stator yellow wire. I havn't tested it yet but I think its unregulated so it would be bad.  My pipes worked good first time around.. but I wanted better so I redid them and primered them. They are bubbling! I am now in talks with duplicolor to figure out what went wrong. |
