I noticed his latest one, he is in very deep SNOW... At it was just shot a week ago... I would have thought Sno Machine's would be used in those conditions, but apparently not.

Thanks for sharing that. He is pretty intense.

He's a sledder too...just an off-road legend. The guy is as hardcore as they get and he is a regular dude. I've chatted with him offline a few times and he is very knowledgeable and nice.

He's talking bout the storage compartments -edit- I see you answered that in a later post- oops, but yeah, cell phone/keys/whatever....

You can lose the bike under you, so long as you can see those snorkels, you're ok. They're incredibly well-thought machines, some just need an air snorkel

Those round tubes may have winch supplies /tool/etc in them.

Teeeeccccchnically speaking, the snorkels are engine air (center), then belt in and out (l and r) the fuel is all sealed, just a vent line with a one-way check in it.

I didn't say I didn't have fun in the occasional mud hole...just don't make it my main goal. I like to go fast, climb and navigate over difficult terrain. That's my weakness. When we stop along the trail and someone says, bet no one can get up that...

it's like kryptonite

I hear ya..... "hold my beer and watch this"

But down here, man, all we got is swamp and bottomless mudpits, so the bikes kinda reflect that. The trails we do have are 50" wide limited, so nobody's bikes can go

Well we've been to Tower Trax in Fluker, but haven't been riding in way too long, honestly. You look almost in the middle between Sabine ATV park and Tower Trax

Red Creek NOLA closed their ATV trails down before we had a chance to get down there, but we manage to find plenty of land to play around on anyway.
