The ultimate snowmobile screw-up?
Courtesy of a link at Dark Roasted Blend, we find out what happens when you try to take a snowmobile up an almost vertical valley . . . and don't quite make it.
Having wrecked a motorcycle at high speed, and having tried my very best to separate myself from the machine, I kept thinking to myself "stop trying to get in front of it!"
I love how he never made a sound througout the whole thing! All you could hear was him breathing and the snow hitting him! No cussing, no "Ouch" or anything! I couldn't have done it. I would have said SOMETHING at some point.
As someone who has seen a lot of stuff wrecked by snowmobilers- I don't feel bad for him at all.

ReplyDeleteWell, if you're going to fail, at least make it look awesome like this guy did. He is damned lucky he didn't break bone(s).
