My Daughter on her Bravo - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

locky · 01-28-2007, 07:47 PM

Most of you know last year I bought my then 6 yr old Daughter a Yamaha Bravo for Christmas. She was pretty timid trying to ride it. This weekend I finally pulled it out of the garage for the first time this year and she must have rode it for 6 hours. Shes not scared at all now. Heres a short video of her giving her friend a ride on it. For the other fathers out there whos been through this stuff with their kids know how proud I am. I recieved just as much enjoyment watching her ride than riding myself.

that is so awesome..... I remember riding the old braco's when I was younger, my grandparents bought two of them, we road them for like 5 years in the field next to their house, circles, and circles, and circles. We beat them up a bit though, broke the rear suspension jumping them, lol. I helped repair them, and then I moved on to the old 340 enticer, then up to the Ski-doo touring LE, then the 95 Summit 583, then the Mountain Max 700, and now my 2000 Summit Highmark.

And now that I think about it, my grandparents have those old Bravo's still, just sittin in the field....... I'm going to call them tomorrow and ask if I can have one of them for my son who turns 5 in March, I'm sure they will give it to me, especially if its for my son, not to mention they gave me the summit 583 for a christmas a few years back.

Oh man, you got me all excited now just thinkin about it..... lol, and I just told my son a few days ago that I would get him a snowmobile some day.

My Daughter just loves it. Even at -18 below windchill she wants to be out riding.

It's like my niece (8 year old), I took her out on my sled and now it's "when can we go again?" every time I see her.

Awesome! Reminds me of my girls when I first brought the Jag home. Round and round the house for hours... It was great!

Those Bravo would be perfect starter sleds for younger children, you get hooked on the sport with some little oldie you get for cheap ('76 jag 2000 for me) then you move up to bigger better things.

My sister is begging me to get her a Sno-Scoot now, she rode my old one last winter and loved it. She actually rides quite well, she used to ride a Kitty Cat for 2 years and then got too big for it and it started getting stuck too much. This winter I'm gonna try and acquire a Sno-Scoot for her and maybe do some suspension mods to make it fit her better, she's only 4' something.
