OSM’s own Drew Gurman promptly went to the gear room and took his own OSM Lawn Ornament t-shirt after submitting this photo with the comment, “Hay Days or bust”. We all laughed and agreed that it does resemble many trailers deep in the famous swap. SO, we asked Gurman the questions of Snap Decision, “Race one”, “Sell one”, “Ride One” and GO!

SELL ONE

This one is easy, the Phazer II. People are always looking for these fan cooled pogo stick sleds for their kids. It would for sure bring a big return at the swap.

RIDE ONE

This was not even a close decision for me. Being a single never married man in his early thirties and also an owner of a dog, the Ski-Doo GT SE 700 is what I would ride out of this love trio. Two up seating and a backrest with plenty of extra room for the future Mrs. Drew. Not too mention the gitty-up and go of the big 700 twin under the hood.

RACE ONE

No question about it if I had to race one of these at Hay Days it would be the Formula III triple 600. This sled has lit up the tree to victory numerous times on the Hay Days lawn in the 90s.

Stand up and the loud can bark! Our call out for big risers has been met with cheers and plenty of enthusiasm. More than a few of you “know a guy” who not only likes to ’stand-up” but does so with nothing less than 12-inches of finely crafted riser. With that we tip our hat and give you a proper salute with a cheap can of ale to this issue’s best riser submissions.

Have you seen a crazy handlebar riser set-up on a snowmobile in your neck of the snow belt? If so, snap a few pics and send them to info@osmmag.com and if we print them you will find a new OSM t-shirt in your mailbox.

If this doesn’t scream ‘winner’s circle’ we’re not sure what would. - Breaden Morabito Thank you Breaden, who submitted this photo of his Pro X 440, and we really liked the fact that he noticed that with such a tall riser on his Pro X he’d need a little help in the corners, so he installed handlebar hooks.

This guy and his sled look like they’ve come straight out of a Mad Max movie. The best that I can tell is the sled looks like a ‘80’s era Yamaha SS440. He’s obviously spent a considerable amount of time, energy, and coin on this sled. Spray bomb custom paint job, custom seating, wheelie bar, and two, yes two sets of sweet risers with ape hanger bars. And that custom intake? Furgetaboutit! Now I don’t know anything about this guy, nor do I want to because frankly he scares me, but iIf you lads are still running the “Got Riser Brah?” section in the mag I would certainly like to be considered for a sweet “Got Riser” tee-shirt. Don Thompson, Inver Grove Hts, MN Good day. I do believe you have a section in your mag regarding “got risers”. This premium beauty has 2 sets of bars so you don’t have to fuss with a silly lever to select height. Let me know if this works for you. Enjoy the day, Don. Hey Don, This works for us! Next month you should resubmit this for our Lawn Ornaments feature. That way you can bag yourself another OSM T-shirt.

Snocross sleds went through a “confusing” time for many who were busy trying to emulate a certain guy with “ginger” hair from Saskatchewan who dominated tracks in North American while racing standing up.
