I'm going down to my uncle's cabin by lake Tahoe to go snowmobiling.
This will be my first time ever on a snowmobile(the only power-sport vehicle I haven't ridden) so what are some riding tips?
Anything with a motor it seems like i can just get on and ride no problem and I just wanted some info on what it's like to ride before I jump on and floor it. I like to go fast so I'm not just going to put around and get used to it.

they don't putt around very well, as you gotta have the revs up to keep the clutch working. Keep your weight back, and make sure you don't chop the throttle in the deep stuff or you'll stick yourself.

Just take 'er easy on some level ground for starters before you go boondocking. And have fun.

Put your feet in them holes up front of the floor boards, hammer the throttle and watch out for barbed wire fences. One more thing, the tree shadows look like gnarly whoops and the gnarly whoops look like they ain't there. That's how Suds bit a hole in his lip and could squirt beer through it like a sprinklyer. Actually one more thing, you gotta really want to turn on of them snowblowers but don't ever take your feet out of them holes, unless you're doing a no footer back flip or crashing.
