Paul....I think that is Chris Burant X games gold medal winner riding at 2 Top in West Yellowstone It is a Turbo Cat, Chris uses my company's chrome moly suspension parts for weight savings. Brian Nelson guides tours to ride like this out west in the Jackson Hole vacinity, if this video is indeed shot at 2 Top, both Brian and I have riden it many times over the years as well a Lions Head which is across the valley from 2 Top, acually rode to the top of Lions head 30 years ago and watched the eclipse hit the mountain, surreal! Ed Kruel, Doug Hough and Bob Enns also know the area. I was part of the MInneapolis Deere sales team that launched the Trailfires to dealers here in 1979. Yes, I agree it is a stunning video and watching a gifted rider in powder is pure poetry....notice the turbo kick as it carry's the ski's. Todd Tupper Team Arctic hill climb ace also uses our componets and there are You tube clips on his wins. Mountain riding is a art, but get in shape before you go, oxygen is scarce! Best JRC

Awesome. I watched a couple of the Jackson Hole hillclimb videos too. When they don't make it and the sled goes down the hill without a rider, that is good stuff. Sure glad those sleds are not mine. :lol22:

Sure looks like Two Top. Great testing out a West Yellowstone. When you ride like in the clip it better not be below 0. Looks fun but NOT!! Cold powder in your helmit and down your neck is not fun. My best time was late season where you could go anywhere. Then Lions Head was a blast.

That looks like heaven for sure. I agree with you Jon, that is an arctic cat, no doubt. The title of the video says Yamaha....hmmmm...the hood style and headlight is telling me cat all the way...I guess I will have to post this video on a-chat and see what those boys think!

I could not imagine riding a Deere in that fluff..wow!

Hey Ed,do you still go riding in the mountains? I was talking to Stan Hayes the other day,and he says he goes,with a group of guys every year out west somewhere.One of these years we'll have to get some guys together for a reunion and a ride in Yellowstone.Might be fun.What do you think?

Bob.

Rode down the back of Loins head 30 years ago on a Sportfire......Ed you ever try that, ultimate #10 on the the thrill seeker scale, straight down with tons of rock cliffs! JRC

Bob!! Count me in. Would love to ride West again. Jon!! Was that planned or by accident?

Post by **JRC ETD** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 10:27 pm

Nobody would try it, so a dare I guess, the risk was the thrill, didn't know any better and didn't care.....ahhh, life was good and we were lucky! Trust you are well Ed and in good spirits! Best Jon

Thanks again for posting it, and it was great to talk to you at the Horicon Reunion.
