Well guys, I am going down a trail in some hardwoods and I am just about to brake before a turn and my left ski is barely off the last persons snowmobile track on the trail. All of a sudden BAM my sled turns sharp to the right and is headed for a huge tree. It turns out there is a tree stump that was covered with snow right there. The sudden impact throws me forward and I snap both handguards, I have no reaction time so I try and throw the sled to the right but it is on a slight incline so I couldnt get it to go. I am already half off the sled from the impact and all I see is this tree so I bail. The sled is probably going 25-30 mph and as I am flying parallel in the air with the sled to avoid the tree I hear, SMACK, CRUNCH, CRACK!!!
I end up landing about 15 ft. ahead of my sled and instantly pop up and my sled is still running. When I go over to the sled I see the right side (facing the snowmobile, left if you were sitting on it) is heavily damaged. The right ski (facing the sled) sits back about 4 inches from the other ski.
As far as damage goes maybe you guys can help me out as I need some parts. I already have the sled getting fixed right now but I am just looking for a rough idea on what this is costing me and maybe looking to pick up some of these parts. I need a whole new front nose bumper, a new right (facing the sled) A arm, a new right (facing the sled) side panel, and some major TLC!!
I guess the stump is too blame but the fact that left precision ski pushed right through the powder doesnt help out either. I am definately in the market for some C&A skis but we will see how much $ this cost me first
. I am very greatful that it is the sled that got hurt and not me but however it still hurts inside to see my sled beat up. I will see if I can post some pics later on but I pretty much already listed what I needed. Thanks for any help guys this site is great and I greatly appreciate anything that you guys can do!!
