FWF announces BOOST 3 !!!


Finally , after many hours of edit room aggravation, the third edition of the Boost series is complete. Previous years have given you the inside on boosted four strokes, showing you how the myth of the point and shoot sleds is dead. Lots of boondocking and deep powder riding filled the silver screen. " Homesick Angels " is the title and it speaks for itself. The Boost brothers climb chute after chute of previously unclimbable terrain high in the sky and up into the heavenly pillows of powder.

Another season of BOOST

Here's where it all begins. The blog for venting my frustrations and opinions.

This weekend was the Alberta snowmobile associations sled show in Edmonton , Alberta. Although we endured some blizzard style conditions, the show went on without a hitch and was actually very good ! I didn't get any attendance #'s but I know from experience that they would have been fairly high. there was all sorts of great goodies there including CR racing's pit of heaven. The mod shop that everyone compare's to Jesse Jame's West coast choppers style, Chad Rebec does his magic on sleds.
In his booth there was every mod gadget known to the industry, including lightweight seats, tunnels, suspension, and you name it.
Rated R made another appearance, the 750 hp Nitro injected snowmobile is the fastest hillclimber known to man.
Chad Rebec has made a name in the snowmobile mod industry, and you know he is that good when you see other mod shops trying to copy his masterpieces. The other attraction was Randy Swenson's HP3 propane powered turbo Nytro. This sled was built on a Yamaha Nytro chassis with CR racing tunnel, hood, bars, steering post, and risers. The propane kit was developed and installed by Brad Story of Utah.
It will be nice to see Randy rip up the powder with this hot rig.

Here you can see a good angle of the propane fuel cells, nicely polished.
