Title: snowmobile fun

Watch the first guy escape, nice. But then watch what the second guy does. Talk about a HUGE set of balls! He must have custom snowpants. I thought for sure that he was gonna go over and back down.

Judging by him barely making it at the top, just enough.

Holy $hit! Even with tons of HP how is it getting enough traction at 80 degrees and then 90 at the top? Serious skill to cut the throttle at just the right moment to get the sled to pitch forward without sliding back down. Too much throttle and it pitches backward, too little and it slides backward. Never mind cast iron, chrome steel!
