On the trails with Rural Cass Snowmobile Club

Red Bull athlete and Canadian Ross Mercer hits it large, establishing a new world record for longest snowmobile ramp jump! Ross flew a gigantic 263.5 ft, smashing the old record of 245 ft in 2007.

The jump was performed at The Compound, the world’s largest snowmobile terrain park, located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. To certify Ross’ jump an official world record, the accomplishment was filed with Guinness World Records.

In a series of 22 locations across the snowbelt, Arctic Cat, Polaris and Yamaha will debut a “Sneak Peek” at their new models for 2012. Each manufacturer will display 15-18 sleds.  That’s 50+ new snowmobiles on one show floor all at the same time.

Locally, the event is planned for Wednesday, April 13, at the FargoDome. The event will be from 4-9 PM and will have free admission.

Snowmobilers can see, touch, sit on and inspect the sleds that will be at their dealer  in the fall. Also, final decisions on taking advantage of the special incentives offered during the spring buying programs can be made with first hand inspection of the various models.
