basketcase687 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Awesome!!! I think I might make one of those this spring. We have the x-backs, ganglines, and bungee to hook our two up, just no cart or sled. Very sweet! Thank you!:)Funny you should say that.Just before this popped up for sale,my oh kept eyeing my girls bikes,and saying "Do you know,I could make a lovely rig out of those"!!!

robke Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Looks nice...as far as helmet you could try a snowboarding helmet better than a cycling helmet but lighter than a normal helmet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lebe03 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thanks for the advice Lee,any particular helmet?Will do plenty of filming,you know us!! I use a full face helmet as they give more protection when scootering as your more likely to fall flat on your face from what I've seen. However any helmet will do at least while training. Also check out who owns the land where you intend training with the rig as you may require a permit to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 My advice would be safety glasses as well (don't have to be expensive). It's amazing what the dogs kick up as they run flat out. I would love one of these if I had a second pulling dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeonah Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Lol, thanks for that!At this rate I'm going to be too scared to set foot on it!!:eek: Nah you'll be fine. I would love to get mine out on a rig, with the bloodline that they are supposed to have, and I say supposed to have, as I have been supplied with the wrong info before,they should run like the wind. You have brakes on the rig so it's just a matter of working it so that the dogs get slowed down when you want them too. Allegedly:rofl:. Gary.

Removed #2 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Karen, congratulations. How did I miss this post? Haven't been on here often. I'm excited to see your video...we are picking up the scooter and sled on Friday, well, Jeff is, then we are going into a deep freeze. Still deciding on harnesses and lines, etc. and not sure what else we need. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all a bit sudden,although Jon has wanted a rig for quite some time.We have ordered harnesses etc,so just waiting now.We have a lot of snow forecast for Friday,so could really do with your sled!! Think this is going to be a learning curve for us all, don't you!! Good luck with everything...don't worry,when we get around to doing a vid,you will be the first to know!!!................Karen.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #2 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Karen, what kind of harnesses did you decide to go with? X back or H? We are thinking the H because it is supposed to be not as hard on their hips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
