If any of you guys have been keeping up with my build thread you'd know that my knee got jacked up last spring. I had surgery on it at the end of July to repair my ACL and Meniscus (pics are about a week after surgery, right after they took the gauss off):

Now i get to rock a pretty trick looking custom brace whenever i go riding ;) Brace is from townsend design, its made out of carbon fiber with a stainless steel hinge. They had to make a plaster cast of my leg so they could build it to my leg. Thank god for medical insurance, lol.

This winter this is what im ripping it up on, 96 Ski Doo FIII 600. Did the SC 10 III rear skid swap earlier this winter and put on some Fox front shocks. Sled rides awesome now :P Good winter to put some money into it considering the amount of snow we have gotten here!

later on down the road my knee injuries are gonna kick me in the ass. You can live without ur ACL, but with my riding and sports there's no way i could deal with it. Knee just doesnt feel like it used to now... i remember those pain meds, best thing ever rofl.

Its a pretty good sled, finally got the kinks worked out and its something i wont be getting rid of any time soon ;) Nothing beats the sound/power of a triple. I think i did pretty got for $850 on that sled.
