Unbeleivable. That guy just escaped death. Looks like a cat too, I have to give that to you cat lovers.

Edit: Or mabye not, the first pic looks like the headlight of a Firecat, but the 8th looks like some 80's sled.

I_R_Josh · 02-10-2006, 04:47 PM

I'm sayin mid-late 90s rmk. Look at the top of the rear of the tunnel in the 8th picture.

lasher49 · 02-10-2006, 04:57 PM

Well I saw the pictures whats the story behind the crash.

illwerral · 02-10-2006, 09:00 PM

98 700 rmk
coming down the mountain and lost my lights went right over the cliff, the guys I was going down the logging road with didn't even stop or call the Ranger!!! still looking for them son of a bi$%#s and I will find then,
Had to pull myself up the 250' drop and with injurys I might add, and walk 3miles to my truck, thats it for me this year unless some one has a bulkhead for this sled they can get rid of cheep can't type much more today guys but will give more details later,, K?

Robb, I say bag it for the season... that's too bad. You're lucky to be alive.

Arctic · 02-11-2006, 07:34 PM

wow, thats amazing. glad you were ok.

Cleve · 02-11-2006, 07:48 PM

Holy hell, that's unbelievable. It must have been traumatizing. I'd be shaking for days after that one. I'd have to think you'll have more than a few nightmares about *that* drop. It gives me shivers just thinking about it, and I didn't even experience it.

I think you should take up a safe hobby, like fighting oil well fires or something.

flyinhi · 02-11-2006, 08:21 PM

wow thats crazy..im from washington what area where you goin in?? its pretty mazing your alive, hope everything goes well!

YOOPERrider0003 · 02-11-2006, 09:23 PM

Wow and I thought my legs hurt after doing a 20 foot cliff drop on my motoski, cant imagine a 250 foot cliff! Your very lucky, glad to hear your okay.

I_R_Josh · 02-11-2006, 09:50 PM

wow congratulations on surviving that one. A group of guys I know tackled a 100' drop and only 2 of the 6 made it out without serious injurys. One guy was in a hip-cast for 6 months. And I think for almost all of them that was thier last real ride. That kind of fall is no joke. Anything broken? (besides the sled)

wrecker68 · 02-12-2006, 04:17 PM

no, just the sled, thank God and ya I do have some dreams that have messed me up need to get back on it asap

wrecker68 · 02-22-2006, 04:36 PM

2 weeks have gone by and I still have trouble getting out of the chair, but I think I will manage a couple of rides before seasons end, and, Ya I still jump up in the middle of the night sometimes,,,,,it sucks, BAD!

I_R_Josh · 02-22-2006, 04:53 PM

Hey dude I'm glad you're not permanently in a chair. Good to hear you're ready to get back out there. How's the pain pill supply?

skidoo_magoo · 02-23-2006, 07:57 PM

damn man...hope you get better soon...

i cant believe they just didnt notice or help! how do you no tnotice a sled fall of a cliff? tail light then no tail light like that...unless the 98 rmk's can hit light speed, something woudl seem wrong,

even if you were the last sled, you keep an eye on the group. someone doesnt show up at an intersection, theres a problem!

AvroAero · 02-23-2006, 10:12 PM

Too bad you didn't get that on vid. The only thing worse than taking a massive whipeout is not catching it on video.
