Was just looking at some pics of people doing catwalks on their sleds and i was just wondering what everyones favorite technique was to do them??? do ya just stand as far back as ya can and pull the handlebars and hit the gas or what???

ya thats one way, i sure liked riding my friends 800 Rev, he has it setup so you could just sit there and it would go straight up if you snapped the throttle, and still do 170k breaking trail....lol. I liked catwalking my ZL, better than my 700, that extra 1/4 inch the track is unbelievable.

with the summit rev, you just pin the throttle and it stands right up.

G-ForceJunkie · 04-04-2004, 05:53 PM

I lean back as far as humanly possible and feather the throttle at first, then floor it

bad pic - but you get the point

buy a rev 800, haha, sit down and pinch it. I want one, or a big block Firecat, maybe have to settel fro and F7 and get the 925 billet big bore kit

With mine you just sit there and let 'er rip. Will hang the skis at any speed.

that 800 it nuts!!!

how do you think it would do against an f7? looks crazy fast.

polarisindy · 03-08-2006, 05:03 PM

WoW that 800 is insane. Up in air in no time. I think it might have the F7.

144 gold diggers really make my zr lift the skis, i just gota lean back and punch it, and off we go

skidoorider · 03-08-2006, 07:43 PM

since i am very light, my favorate way is go slowly up a hill while standing as far back as possible, then gun it.

My favorite way to catwalk is to... wait, I can't. Need studs.

Post a picture or video of it with the ski's in the air then.

700 EFI rated 140 hp with Comet Pro-4 clutch and secondary set to max, inch lug track with suspension set for max weight transfer. You do the math.

If I had someone around to take pic's when I am riding, I'd have some to post. But as my work schedule is so different from all my friends, I hardly ever see anyone. If we get some more snow, I will try to get some.

if i ever get my old rupp running and somehow do wheelies i am going to dig this up.

my newer sleds don't really wheelie that well due to the lack of traction and bad gearing(the doo has 670 gears

)

Your machine has the same horsepower rating as an 06 F7

Dealer says about 100 hp
