Thats insane. And it cant be good for the snowmobile lol. The funniest part is toward the end where he pulls up on the motorcycle, the rider turns his head to look like "WTF!!??"

Yeah! I just still can't believe he beat a crotch rocket! Blows my mind. And if you look at the comments I guess it isnt to hard on the snowmbile b/c they dont have transmissions.

They are a blast to ride.... I live up in montana and if the winter is REALLY bad you'll see guys riding them down the roads (they do a whole lot better than a car!!) The lake skipping is just nuts to me, more than a few people a year loose their sleds to that one.... Those things feel like they are going to rip your arms off when you hit that throttle, they just use two "clutch" plates that essentially squeeze down or release a belt based on how much centrifical force there is (how fast they are spinning) and that essentially changes the "gear ratio" so to speak... They are a BLAST
