Greg O'Brien from Phat Mountain Films lends insight on being prepared and protected when adventuring off the groomed trails...... "Stumps, rocks, shrubs, trees and all of their little buddies are everywhere and super exposed in the first months of winter and I know this because I was previously employed as an official rock detector. Now of course these dangers are present the whole year through...but not as much as in the early months. Skis, a arms, shocks, bulkheads, side panels...all expensive, all much more enjoyable still on the sled intact rather than buckled into a position in which they clearly don't belong. But while that does suck the big one (sure nobody wants to spend dollars and have downtime with a wrecked snowmobile) it’s not nearly as bad as the downtime you would succumb to if you broke some other parts. Your own parts. Although less costly to fix (If you’re Canadian) your body doesn’t quite repair as easily. It’s not like you can swap out a few discs in the ol' spine for some new ones or throw in an OEM knee or front tooth. The toys recover much quicker than us, no therapy or braces for 12 weeks required for them. No post op sitting in the shed to heal up after changing out your secondary. For this reason I enjoy dressing up as a transformer before I ride. Body Armor!! The more the merrier of course. ". [More]

Two weeks ago, after the running of the AMSOIL ISOC Pro Snocross series 4th round, Tucker Hibbert, the then leader in both Pro classes standings confirmed the expected: he was ending his winter racing season. The announcement also signified his absence at the 27th Grand Prix Ski-Doo de Valcourt scheduled for this coming weekend. As Hibbert, who had been the winner of all the races he entered up to his retirement, decided to devote his time to the preparation of his upcoming motocross campaign, it send a clear signal to his peers: the chase for the titles was reopened. It also mean that other racers had suddenly the possibility to shine on the famed circuit Yvon Duhamel course where another great will be miss this year: Blair Morgan who has simply been the king of Valcourt over the last decade..

A few weekends ago a crew of sledaddicts gathered again in Central Newfoundland to embark on another weekend of snowmobiling.

After having an opportunity to digest the info on the new 2010 Yamaha's I'll have to admit being wrong on my prediction of the introduction o power assisted steering on a snowmobile. Yes I am surprised there wasn't a new high performance model replacing the Apex, but given that Yamaha released their 2010 Nytro XTX a year ahead of schedule in 2009, Yamaha fans got their new model early so to speak. What's new for Yamaha ... no new models and alot of refinement.. [More]

RACING VENUE READY A MONTH AHEAD OF TIME, OUTSTANDING TRACK CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE UPCOMING GRAND PRIX SKI-DOO DE VALCOURT. Valcourt, January 29, 2009 – The drivers lining up on the oval or the snocross course starting lines at the upcoming Grand Prix Ski-Doo de Valcourt, February 20, 21 and 22, will probably encounter the very best conditions ever seen at Canada’s most popular motorsport winter event, if of course Mother Nature remains as co-operative has she’s been so far this year.

It was 12:15 A.M on December 24th when a SledAddict, Mr.Hidy, closed the curtains to a snowy night. With a greasy grin he laid his head into the soft pillows to rest his weary bones after spending a long evening of shoveling. Winter had officially arrived on the East coast of Canada, bringing with it an abundance of snow, Hidy was very content to say the least as the tune of Bing Crosby’s “I’m dreaming of a White Christmas” shuffled through his head. For awhile Mr. Hidy was expecting a green Christmas. He gladly accepted his misguided intuitions as Mother Nature threw her coat over Newfoundland, making this upcoming holiday season a jolly one at that.. [More]
