There is a hill like that in one of our areas. Ever since Danny found it has been called "Brownshorts Hill". We couldn't get him to get back on his machine for over an hour, he was freaked.

 

[Burn Down]

He was lucky! I ran over a cliff pretty similar to that one in Idaho, I sucked the seat up my ass

 

[SmokeShow]

Situations like this is why we have the saying "oh schitt!". lol

 

[PAT]

Damn

 

[Atouchofgrass]

I just sh!t my pants watching it let alone the guy driving that sled!

 

[Pure Diesel]

If he went over, no one would have probably ever found him. Damn.

Made my heart skip a beat just watching it.

same here and all i can say is always sled with someone else for just these situations or atleast know your area very well.Your still here thank God!

 

[Forever]

wow. That had me on edge. lucky SOB.

 

[AubleAK]

Had that happen once. Lucked out pretty good. I bailed, but my sled went with it.

Ok, ill be the one who says it. Yeah he's lucky. That was luck over sheer idiocy. You never never ever take your machine that close to a courniced peak. And if you dont know the area, all the more reason to stay away from it. Im glad he didnt go over, but this is a prime example and a good educational tape of what not to do. Plus, riding alone in areas like that? Wow. An avalanche would make him an unfindable missing person.

 

[madmatt]

idiot,,,,,, I don't even sled but i coulda told u that was a bad idea just by looking a little further down the ridgeline and seeing how blown the snow was there.

Riding

I snowmobiled for years in the wyoming and utah mountains. I finally go5 rid of having to live on the edge feeling with everything i used to do. The video we all watched is the reason why! Too many close calls for this guy! I guess i am getting old?

 

[Burn Down]

I agree with some of you.... However riding in the backcountry has it's risk's and as a backcountry rider I try to be as prepared as I can. But there is no way to know every area or be able to stay out of harms way at all times. I understand that when I head out.

I am trained in avalanche safety, ride with buddies, have beacons, shovels and probes. Life is a risk, I can get run over crossing the streets just as easy I can get taken out in a freak accident riding my sled.

Besides how do you know he was by himself??? Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't...
