The NOT so NICE side of TR's

THe shoot started off AWESOME.. we (camera man EXTRODINAIRE Doug) met in Fort Irwin at my husband's, brother's inlaw's.. ya mouthful I know... They are FANTASTIC ppl and have a gorgeous spot to boot.

The trails were awesome.. freshly groomed and only a couple people had been on..
O but wait i'm sooooo getting ahead of myself here.. Let's go back to the begining.. I arrived about 5pm the night before after loading at Supertrax HQ my TR sled.. the GSX ltd.. I also grabbed the Etec 600 for Doug to ride.. after a long day in the truck with my 15 month old we arrived at CASA Newton! No brother in law... hummm and minus one niece..Brent was stuck in a bit of a swamp with my niece and they walked out over 2 miles to get to a phone and call for help.. ahum.. i'm going to stop typing and let the pictures explain...

Ya Nuff said. stump/ bog whatever... 2tries later, 3 hrs.. and more recruits ( thanks to Don and Steve!).. indy was out and parked in the garage.. making a mucky gucky mess all over.

Back to the shoot at hand.. did I mention gorgeous weather? It was awesome, and the sled was awesome too! Ok I am going to admit it.. I was a little dissapointed when Jeff asked me to do my FIRST Test Ride for Snowtrax on the GSX.. All I could think was .. ugh this is sooo not my type of sled!I mean you say touring and all I can think about is those big cushy, fall asleep rides... heated seats, pillows for a suspension but "tank like" to get around the trails you need to be a sumo wrestler to muscle those girls!... no matter what make. But a couple hours later, and lots of trail footage from Doug.. I was LOVING this sled... but my stomach wasn't.. I know i had a lot of whoops on the closed course.. however I really wasn't feeling good... AAHH I know LUNCHTIME! Burgers! that'll do it!

NOPE

FLU= 1 TAERA= 0

this thing hit me soo hard one second I was fine next.. well you don't want to know!

I think I remember Jeff showing up to do the show intro and a few other things...but all I remember was him saying "can you cowboy it up?" as I ran to the bathroom for about the 30th time.

Flu=2 McLean's =0

my son's turn... sigh

FLu=3 McLean's =0

yup you guessed it hubby's turn...

you'll have to see how the TR turned out on Snowtrax TV... coming up soon..

(but I did get out and ride some more.. and I still REALLY like this sled's power!)
