My friend has the 09 Gade 800 ptec. Its a great sled with good power. Hes got a 1.75 track on it too. I tried it one time and it pulls up on the hills like nothing. I'm riding the 12' Gade 600etec. There's not much video of me because my sleds not great for the wheelies.

Thanks

Let out your limiter strap and put your coupler blocks on the lowest setting. You will lose some steering control but you will be cat walking all over Maine.Posted Image Looks like you and your friends were having fun and thats what it is all about.

The katahdin region near baxter state park is a great place winter or summer, togue pond just outside is a great place to listen to the loons or go for a skinny dip.

It is fast riding up in Maine. Don't try to hit those turns aggressively with your strap loosened!

Placing your feet more to the rear of the skid would also help.
Soyfsott - something we should all live by.
Your 800 Etec engine grenading is simply a confirmation that the 600 really would not have been the right sled for you.

We would have showed all our ride, but the winter was so short. Plus our camera guy had to work a lot of the times we were a camp. Next year I'll put on so great videos. We are already planning what to do. There's great backcountry riding up here too. I wish we could show you the deep powder riding we did. One time We got off the trail in Greenville. I when down into the powder and almost got stuck, but flow by on to the trail. My friend tryed to be cool and tryed to do a wheelie and just sunk. He had a 1.75 in track but still he was stuck.

Thanks

A perfect example of head on collision just waiting to happen.
