I just finished watching. Didn't realize you were right behind us for the whole run from Cicsos to Fishtales. When we went the wrong way and had to turn back, it was my fault - I thought that Ski-Doo at the corner was pointing us in the direction to go, but it turns out he didn't know which way to go either. The other sleds in front of us weren't with the ride. At that point I was getting tired, hungry, & grumpy and really just wanted to take a break. Thankfully we weren't too far off when he caught us.

By the way, I loved the "crackhead" line. Maybe we should call Rainville that from now on.

hi guys
im glad you all liked the video i had fun making it! Brian according to the instructions im supposed to change the access door to reduce wind noise but it also says that it will not be water proof if i do so. so i decided to keep the water proof door on the camera so it wouldnt get wet. but i think i still might try it to see what happens.
Troy i think your right about joes trailer that thing is evil!!!! im working on him to buy a new one. we will just have wait and see what happens.
Matt defenitly not your fault the guy on the skidoo should of known which way to go but it was all in fun! im installing a new trigger, stator, cdi, and coils on the dator for next year and with a little luck we just might make it!!!! cant wait till february!! :beers;

That's good I'm glad it wasn't anything major, I was afraid my 12 year old HOT ROD grandson did some major damage??

Kenny's grandson Tucker was the youngest rider on the Vintage Challenge. He was riding Tod Meirs 340 Cyclone, and he was riding it like he stole it! He required no hand holding, he was just one of the guys that Saturday.
Oh yeah, he ate my dill pickle at Fishtales.
