Well it happened riding through 3feet of pow at 40mph and i hit a hidden rock, it flipped me over and well broke off the right side a arms and broke off the bulkhead mounting piviot point and bent the knuckle unit. Now ive just paid $660 for all new parts but not the bulk head thats just too much. Im going to try and fix that myself. What a #*$&@ design that part is the weak as piss.
Anyhow great riding with heaps of snow.

You'll have that, riding powder in July while the rest of us are sweating in the summer heat dreaming of snow! ;)!
 
Ive broke my rx1 hitting a tree about the same way you told. Broke the bulhead (had to replace it) also broke one spindle (timbersled) and got it welded.


Then later I broke the spindle and both a-arms (same side) on my apex by hitting a rock under snow.
 
That's a real bummer about the sled damage!!!! It must have been a pretty big rock! That's why I stay to trails until there is a good base and most of the rocks, trees, etc. are covered up.
