The next film by Alpine Assassins  “WE RIDE”

Alpine Assassins Brings you the saga of snowmobiling and what went down over the 2011 season in the way “We Ride”. This film is a story about the Alpine Assassins team, their friends, and a few key locations that they went to where the snow was amazing and the riding was off the hook. The 2011 season dropped more snow than we have seen in our lives and broke the 700 inch mark.  The entire western United States was covered in pow for 8 months.  “We Ride” takes you to a resort that is a must see with riding out the front door, what it takes to get there, and what went down during the Alpine Assassins stay. A trip to Canada to scope the terrain and find out more for the Alpine Assassins and years to come. A look into the RMSHA hill climb series, and of course the epic riding at home.  If you like pow days, boondocking, hucking, climbing, gnarly riding, and want to see what it is to be apart of the sport snowmobiling, then you have got to see the way “We Ride”.    
Filmed in HD with killer conditions and not much hassle.  California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Canada, and possibly Idaho.  45min
Riders: Randy Sugihara : Ken Evans : Duncan Lee : Grant Korgan : Shane Kelley : Ryan Oddo : Steve Martin : Taylor Dyess : Aaron Vincent : Jake Jensen : and a few friends

So over the past few months I realized that to keep people informed and give something back besides just killer photos, a dope movie, and insane riding, I would start a colum to better use our web site.  Im not sure how many times a month I will post, but it will be at least twice.  This colum will talk about everything that I am involved in with snowmobiling and maby even other things too.  I know I have been slacking on the news side of our web site, but this colum will help keep it up to date.  I left off with Huckfest 2010, which was an amazing non-event, and we are taking it bigger for 2011.  Alpine Assassins is in go mode and the season is already here.  I rode yesterday on an amazing road ride, it was 4 plus feet deep with no bottom, so amazing pow turns and the every so often track spinning in a hollow trench.  Was a great feeling to be back on the sled and for the first ride of the year to be shredding pow was even better.  I would be careful out there still because there is a lot of  just buried obstacles that could wipe out a-arms, shocks, radiators, and a list of other parts.  But the snow gods have approved and I feel that this will be one amazing season of riding.  Turkey day is tomorrow and we are already riding, unreal.  This doesn’t happen all that much in Tahoe so we are fired up.  Full Throttle Tahoe is opening this weekend with sled rentals on our groomed trails, and we will also be offering clinics throughout the season.  Ken Evans and my self, Duncan Lee, will be teaching better riding skills, and do’s and don’ts of back country riding.   If you want to get better or have never riding before these clinics through Full Throttle Tahoe will be a great way to improve your skills and ride some fun days.  If you didn’t know we just printed a few new items.  Some tattoo inspired tee shirts and new flex fit 210 ball caps, you can pic some up at SS Auto brokers in Ogden UT, or track down Ken Evans, or my self D.Lee.  product is moving fast so get it while it lasts.  Well time to shovel some more, and groom some trails.  Make sure you sled is ready to go with pre season tuning, and check for critter nests.  Happy Thanksgiving and see you on the mountain!!

Huckfest 2010

 Huckfest 2010 was all time. With the location being so rider friendly and all kinds of terrain avaliable it made for one amazing snowmobile weekend. Saturday morning kicked off with some DJ action and the Alpine Assassins ripping up the jump track that Ken Evans and Duncan Lee built the week before. ken2 With the money booter at 80 ft, and a rythem section of two 50 footers and a 60 footer, the boys were flying all over the place. This year we put in a hip jump that looked like it was around 60 plus and there were sleds sideways all day off that thing.dlee8 Around mid afternoon the sled count was over 100 and people were enjoying the spring Sierra sun and sledding. The first day was great and only a few wrecked sleds and broken bones. We heard there was a broken collor bone, and dislocated knuckle. Not bad for an open track of jumps these size. Once the day got going it was non stop action. There were a few boondock contests, which Luke Stephens out of Bear Vally CA won on his Ski Doo 154 race machine. As well as some killer hucking and even some drag racing. Charles was holding the drags with his Polaris dragon turbo, and nobody could step to his speed. At one point Randy Sugihara towed a skier into one of the gap jumps, that was awsome, with out injury they both made the gap and people were fired up.

Once the Assassins got comfortable on the money booter they were killing it. It had the longest ramp take off ever seen and the boys were making it looke easy. A.V. was throwing some killer seat grabs and they were all hucking. mattsaley5


Saturday was a big day and everyone had a blast, the Java Sushi crew came out with a keg and had most of the truckee heads in their corner. It was a long hot day and everyone went home tired and a little beat up. But the turn out was awsome, and the vibe was amazing. bbq Sunday started around noon with everyone moving pretty slow. The snow was wet and slushy and getting intresting on the jumps. Ken Evans and Shane Kelley did some work on the money booter and then started hitting it a few times. Shane turned to me and said “yo D, my timing is a little off today……” which I took lightly. Then after a few minutes he came into the money booter, the day before he was making that jump look like a cake walk, he launched and was imedeitely sideways and didn’t look good. He came up just a little short and all jacked up. He was flung from his sled and both cartwheeled down the landing. The crowed was silent. Shane broke some ribs, had a contusion on his chest, brusied his kidney, and poped out his shoulder. He walked away and even got on the mike

 before he rode himslef out. After that the tone was a little diffrent, but then A.V. and Ken brought it back up and were hitting the money booter again. We all walk the line between absloute disaster and amazing stunts when we ride, and that is what we love. With that wreck Shane earned himslef “Sickest wreck of Huckfest” and got himslef a trophy for it. <bayv

Sunday afternoon was awsome with mutiple races. There was a drag race finals that John Muckavitz won with a Artic Cat Turbo. A flat track race, where Mike Griffin showed all the younger boys how to ride. A girls race where the compition was feirce and Brandon’s (from Thin Air) wife rode away with the podium. chicksrace1There was also a doubles race, the crew from Bear Valley was intense and they really wanted a doubles race, so it went down and ofcourse Luke Stephens won that! What a great day to end the weekend of Huckfest! See you all next year!
