Well I 'm pretty sure another Ohlins shock has let go..... On my 06 Apex Gt, Iwas out on the weekend riding pretty hard and the trails got rough I thought my spine was getting compressed over every bump.
When I pulled it of the trailer when I got home, I pushed down on the rear and the sled would not come back up.It wasn't frozen so I suspect the shock is gone. I had it rebuilt last year after another of the same problems arose.
I really don't think these sleds can handle pounding down rough trails.
Any thoughts?

Wouldn't the spring bring it back up?
Defrost it and get a look at the skid to see what is broken.
W-Arm?

Check to see if the transfer rod is still attached. It's possible one end disconnected and the rear swing arm got wedged between the rails.
I'm honestly not sure if the spring should bring it back up, but its defrosted now and nothing looks broken.

Had this problem before on another sled - It was not the shock. I had been running through so much slush that water got into all the shafts and froze up solid when it got real cold. Either that or the shock is fubared with water in it.
Good luck - just my 2 cents.
