sleds without the hood on, like on a few vids they have the hoods removed, i assume this helps cooling? or does it increas the "cool" 8) factor?

Also the sled will weigh less. Go further up the hill

1 LESS THING THAT GETS DESTROYED WHEN IT ROLLS DOWN THE HILL............#1 REASON.

really? i would think it would protect the engine components more, especially if your mtning you could have a front mount turbo etc. i wouldnt want it shoulder rolling down the hill with all my parts flying everywhere, a hood would atleast contain it

well most of the mtns these mtn dudes r climbin r packed full of powder, like 3-5 ft minimum. unless ur talkin like april or sumthin like that. most of the time i believe that guys dont run hoods is so they stay cool, but most of the time when they do roll over the handelbars act as a roll bar, like i said, most of the time
