Studs
I can't imagine riding without them. The icy corners in the Northeast really need the studs. Never mind stopping without them.

This year was better than most for the icy corners, but i will never ride without studs.

I could just imagine one of those things letting loose at 120 mph in the upward direction. It should probably sting somewhat.

Flying studs
LB it is even better whaen the whole track comes of at 120 and wacks you in the back. I have seen that twice and talk about not being able to stop.

I have seen many damaged tracks or stud related problems LB. Your opinion about studs is your choice and your right. But I have never seen a stud (get) someone, if one is lost it may "rattle" around a little in the tunnel, but then it will leave out the back. The only injuries I have seen are complete or partial tracks parting ways with the sled. Most stud loss, and track damage is due to either incorrect stud installation or abuse by the owner. I sell 1500-2000 studs & backers, and 10-15 tracks every year, & TIG my share of tunnels and heat exchangers but I will still stud every sled I ever own :!:
