Hi everybody, I wanted everyone to know that my blue bigfoot looks alittle different than it did at Attica and Humphry. I have designed and made a set of tracks that will fit on the bigfoot with the 25" tires!!! Yes thats right a Tracked bigfoot. I made them out of new snowmobile track like the max uses but used a better belt lacing system and wheel keeper. I have been in testing for a few weeks and the Bigfoot is awsome!!! For those of you that rode at Attica this year there is not a place there I would have trouble going. I will be posting photo's on the photo classified section and taking orders in the next week or so. (many thanks to my dad for the long hours in the shop helping make my dream come true) I have also added a roll bar from Leo's ASV,a top made with the jordans advantage wetlands camo,factory windsheild, 2,500 lb waren winch,a snow plow,and the new brush gard from argo. this thing is mean looking. I will send brandon some photos for him to post. I also will be posting a photo classified for my aftermarket tops for the argo. avalible soon. Happy six wheeling Matt |

everyone,
I saw the tracked bigfoot and it is by far the most impressive aatv I have ever seen. These tracks on a bigfoot will knock the snot out of anything that gets in its way. |

Way to go Matt. Can't wait to see it this spring when we go riding again. I also want to talk to you about the roll bar that you had made for your Argo. |

I will be interested in the pictures as well as the price as I have a Bigfoot and am debating buying tracks but really don't want to have to buy smaller wheels. I am hoping to use them for mostly snow so let me know how they work in the snow if you have tested them |

When can we see pictures of this beast? Can the track design you used be used on Max's? Great job! |

bugaboo, the tracks work great in the mud and snow. I will send brandon photos this weekend. I will have the price set early next week, there will be a ad in the photo classified section. Chris, yes the tracks can be used on a max. e-mail me your phone number and i will call you. Bud and Troy, I will call you friday about the roll bar and I am thinking about riding at attica the 1st weekend in febuary? Would anybody brave the weather and come out? I will bring the tracked bigfoot for all to see and drive. Matt |

troy,
I just got the same rollbar matt has. It is from Leos all season vehicles in Cleveland. Its proper name is a light bar on the count it has not been tested and rolled down hills I assume but It is pretty sturdy and would take a heck of a wreck to break it off. |

Thanks Jon.
Last Month while riding, I joined the roll over club. I got lucky and it was my dumb fault, but things happen. I rolled it 3 3/4 times down a big hill. Lucky for me, I didn't get hurt and no one else was in the Max with me. The Max did real good, only bent up the screen on the engine cover. Happened early in the day and still rode it the rest of the day. Oh yeah, I did pop the beads on 2 wheels. That was easly to fix. I really need a roll bar in case I get dumb again. Does Leo have a website? I am looking for someone to make some different roll bars for the Maxes and Argos that I can sell to Customers. |

What did you drop ($) on the roll bar...TJ wants to make some but since Argo came out with theirs it may not be cost effective. He also wants to work on a push bar like on the front of his MAX for the Argo.

troy,
glad to see your okay, surprised you lost two tires, those rims are pretty good about holding the 26 inchers. must have been a hell of a rollover. ben their done that. 300 for the roll bar and leo sells maxes also so he probably has em for maxes to. dont know if he has a web site or not. later |

Jon,
It was a hell of a roll over. If you make it to one of my Deepwater rides this year, I will show you the hill where I rolled it. Then I will go up it. |

troy,
I mapped out the trip to deepwater and it looks like it is a 12 hour trip for me. I should be able to make it to one this year their but will need to know well in advance of when the ride is so i can get the vacation time. How many acres is deepwater? does it have alot of big hills? Do they have a web site? |

Brandon, Thank you for posting the photo's of my tracks and photo's of attica on your web. site. Thank you jon for the great ride last weekend at your inlaws place. Let me tell everyone, if anybody could put my tracks to the test it is jon!!! We put the tracks on his Bigfoot and he road them hard! he went anywere he wanted! We did snow covered hills,rivers,ponds,sippy holes,ran over a tree or two,pulled the max I was riding out of the ditch! It was a great ride. We started out in the afternoon and when I came in the house and looked at the clock it was 1:30 am! WOW! |

matt is right about those tracks, they make my machine unstopable. We really put them to the test. They do not rob the motor of power, and they actually smooth the ride out, It still doesn't ride like a cadillac, but sixwheelers arn't supposed to. My coplements to matt and his dad jim on the fine job they did with these tracks, buy a set and you wont be dissapointed. |

Jon, we will have a ride there in April. I am still talking with Troy @ the Badlands on a date for the ride there. After I get that date set, I will have the date for Deepwater. This place says that they have 2 500 acres lots, but after 2 years riding there 3 or 4 times each year, I still find new trails to ride and places that I haven't been before. There is some big hills there. As soon as I get a date, I will post it here. We always get a discount at a hotel in town, or there is a camping place a couple miles away. Yes deepwater has a website, but not a real good site. don't forget you fishing poles, the fishing is great there. |

newmax, I live on the IN,MI line about 30 min. from the Ohio line. We have had very little snow this year. I was able to run in a ditch that was drifted about 2 feet deep and they went great. (last year at this time I had 42" of snow) This year I bought a new blade for the bigfoot and made tracks and I only have a few inces of snow?
I am not sure if I should be happy or sad? lol Matt |

Thanks for pointing the web page. It sure looks impressive. I was wondering how much they cost and about shipping as I live in Canada.
Thanks |
