Impressions from Sweden

[6wheels]

hey Ride-mop, what's up.

as one of my christmas pres's I scored a family-snowtrip to Sweden. Map-Link (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=62%C2%B0+7%27+0+N+13%C2%B0+16%27+0+E&ie=UTF8&z=3&ll=62.11673,13.266678&spn=46.150482,169.628906&t=k&om=1) Awesome winter-weather, powder and cross terrain runs,
empty lifts, our little cabin was only 4min from the runs.

so far, nice. 'private' runs, no crowds.
But how does Sweden fit in with Rideclub? Same shit, just white and foo'ish freezing at average -15?C and they have two-strokish five-hundos. Damn, I still get that huge smile again writing these lines. You wont believe how much fun it is to ride these skis-doos. Fully automatic, just gas it and it kicks off to 80miles within a few seconds. They offer trails to ride on, some are just straigh for max speed (although there's supposed to be speed limits to 45mph), some are whooped out like dez runs. It's pretty close to riding a dirtbike, but still different.
The older folks took it a bit easier on the throttle though ;)

[brian]

i think flv's are flash video files....probably something similar to those on youtube.

right, that's why it's got a playa on there. don't download, gotta klick view. Know, it's pretty confusing, some vids are mpg and some I converted for viewing with flash ...

[6wheels]

I actually do have a dude sitting right next to me, who was in sweden, hope he'll knows:

Hej, my name is Florian and i lived in Sweden. The explanation is in swedish: Bro ar naturligtvis en kort vag over floden. Om man missar bron, har man ett stort problem och landar i vatten. You got it??

in english: a bridge over a foo frozen creek where you can meet bros!! ;-)

[edit]
@brian, And, I couldn't get it stuck, though you have to pin it in powder and let it run not to sink ...

[RIDEitINTOtheGROUND]

Dude, don't ask. No idea, I was a bit confused while I was outside having a nice, old fashioned German Beer. That was actually kinda nice, because the beer gets cooler while you drink it (at about 0 F) no ice chest, no worries about warm beer.

Slappin' the bratwurst, eh
