2018 Ski-Doo Summit 850 165″x3″

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Make the most capable version of a mountain sled that I’ve ever owned. Thia thing is dialed in perfectly for my riding style.

What motivated you to start your project?

I enjoy working on my sleds as much as I do riding them. I like making something that no one else owns. Everyone told me it wasn’t possible to shorten the tunne on a Ski-doo…I like a challenge.

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the sled?

I took 7″ out of the tunnel to make it more maneuverable in deep snow.

What are you most proud of?

Everything on this sled is unique. I built everything myself. Nobody has one that is the same.

What do other people say about your snowmobile?

I get a lot of compliments on my work. I am not the most talented rider, but my fab work has helped me get hooked up with some great sponsors. People want their name on something that is unique.
