U.P. MadNeSs!

I'm just going to write an entry, without putting a picture up. Why do you ask? I HAVE TERRIBLE LUCK GETTING CAUGHT ON CAMERA DOING COOL STUFF! I never pulled out the digital camera, because someone who was with us had a really nice camcorder and was taking video. Every time I had a nice climb, whip, etc. it never seemed to get on film. So this is my tribute to my poor luck!
Well i'm sure you're wondering how the trip was... let me just say that our riding time was limited, but we figured out in a hurry that the powder is already too deep for our 121's. Pretty incredible stuff, really. Once I got stuck going up a hillside, got off the sled, and went up to my chest. I think I got stuck about 16 times. Back to the limited riding time thing; one kid that came with us bought Jimmy Blaze's 2007 600 mod on the way up. (side note: Jimmy is a douche-rocket) Well... it never worked properly. We tore it down to the chassis one night and found nothing wrong. We think it is the secondary clutch. Then another kid that was riding with us was having problems with his 700 transplant! I pretty much sat there and twiddled my thumbs for hours while 'ol whitey was ripping like crazy!
I'm going to try to make another trip up there with Scotty... and stay at a hotel. He found a hotel that charges $27 a night for the whole room! Dirt cheap!
The weather outside is frightful... no riding in the next few days forsure. It was 17 below actual temperature yesterday morning. We are in desperate need of a big snowstorm in order to do any riding around here. I'm almost tempted to put a 136 and a big motor in my sled and only do U.P. trips and race a few hillcross races. Screw riding around here. After riding in the deep pow and gnarly terrain of the U.P., riding around here seems moot. It is confirmed that I do forsure at least need a bigger motor! I bogged out a lot with the 440 in the super deep stuff. I need to figure out what I want!
Until next time...
