There are few events out there that bring the enjoyment of Extreme Snowmobiling while giving to the cause of safe riding. If there are any riders that know how important it is to know the backcountry and learn Avalanche Safety it is Team Boondockers and Team Thunderstruck. These two extreme sledding teams have come together to help support the Utah Avalanche Center. On November 13th at Brewvies in Salt Lake City, Utah Boondockers and Thunderstruck will be Premiering their new films. Proceeds will go to the UAC. Come enjoy food, raffle prices, two great films and help increase the knowledge of Avalanche Awareness.

Show Begins at 7:00pm, Come at 6:30pm and get some pizza and mingle with the riders.

Everyone is invited to the Boondockers Alive Premier being held in Salt Lake City, Utah. Kick-off will be 6:30 Thursday night, October 16th, 2008. The premier is being held at The Edge Motorsports in Draper, Utah. The Edge is located at 14301 Minuteman Drive.

Tickets are $10 dollars a person, not too bad we hope. Mainly, the premier is a fundraising event for the Utah Avalanche Center (UAC). The Edge Motorsports and Boondockers have teamed together to rally support of avalanche and backcountry research. Ticket sales will be donated to the UAC in order to advance avalanche research, awareness and preparedness. (more…)

Over the past 7-8 years the snowmobile industries outlook on the Turbo market has really changed. Not that turbos on sleds were a new idea. Many riders before 2000 were using turbos to help increase the power of the stock snowmobile to King of the Hill. Shortly after 2001 with the introduction of the Yamaha RX1 the Turbo market really boosted. The amount of power that was being tapped from the 4-stroke snowmobiles with turbos was reaching the 400 horsepower range. It wasn’t long before they broke the 400hp with Yamaha Propane Turbos getting 420hp with about 26lbs of boost. (more…)
