We’ve had some great submissions for our Vintage Snowmobile Photo Challenge, but we need more!  So far only one challenger has had photos that could truly compete with David Crew’s late ’60’s/early 70’s era pictures, that being VintageSleds.com (but you have to go to the actual site to see the old photos, as opposed to just new photos of old sleds).

All Photos Are Welcomed And Greatly Appreciated

We’re having lots of fun with this, so why stop now? 

I can tell you that this challenge has netted a variety of different snowmobile pictures.  I’ve even had some great video feeds of crazy snowmobile events sent in (which will be featured soon enough).  David’s challenge is primarily to find other old photo collections taken when the snowmobiles were young and (relatively) new, but we’re all having fun with the new pics of vintage sleds and restorations, so send whatever you got and we’ll sort ‘em out later!

In case you’ve been blowing me off all week, (and you’re forgiven if you’ve been riding, but if you’re just out tanning, come in and see what we’ve been up to), here are links to David Crews and his original challenge, as well as links to all the submissions posted so far:

• The Challenger: David crews 
• VintageSleds.com
• Trucker & Kitty from KawasakiTrax.com
• Jim, another Kawasaki fan

I know there have got to be more great snomobiling photos out there, so don’t be shy, show us what you’ve got!  Leave a comment here or send your submission to sledderchick@gmail.com.  And by the way, if you’ve got a site to promote with it, let me know, I’m happy to offer up your link, too.

Thanks for joining in the fun!

This time they come from Trucker’s friend Jim.  I woke up to these vintage snowmobile photos in my inbox this morning.

 The first:

Jim describes this one as, “A group photo of the sleds from KawasakiTrax that made it to Hutchinson Mn show a few years back. The trailer and banner belong to Trucker as well as a few of the sleds. “

And this one is Jim’s personal favorite, at least until another comes and takes her place.  Jim says he spent a year and a half making it run, which leads us to wonder if he’s single or just has a wife with the patience of a saint (and an aroma of two-stroke floating throughout her house).

More thanks go out to Jim for playing along with our Vintage Snomobile Photo-hunt game.  Thanks for sharing!  (And hopefully you don’t take our jabs too seriously.  I’m banking on you having a sense of humor if you’re hanging out with Berleen (aka Kitty)!)

Join Jim and Send Me Your Vintage Snowmobile Pics, Too!

Send them to sledderchick@gmail.com.  Other Fun & Interesting Snowmobile Pictures also gladly accepted!

Remember Kitty from SledderWear?  You, know, the one that makes those really great snowmobiling T-shirts and gifts?  Well, as it turns out Kitty’s inspiration is her husband Trucker’s Vintage Snowmobile Addiction!  He even owns a website at KawasakiTrax.com.  It’s dedicated to vintage sleds, obviously more Kawasaki than anything, but I hear he’s working on an old Polaris this summer, so we’ll let him in.

Kitty is a bit of a shutterfly.  She’s sent a bunch of her husband’s vintage sled photos (not of the original era, so they’ll fall into the “Vintage Snowmobile” and not “Vintage Photo” category - because, you know, what David has really is old.

Here’s What Kitty & Trucker Have To Brag About

Guess Who!?

Kitty says there’s lots more to see at KawasakiTrax, so head over there and see what they’ve got!

Now, Where Are Your Vintage Snowmobile Pictures?

We have our first challenger for the vintage sled photo challenge.  Larry from VintageSleds.Com stopped by at the Original Vintage Sled Pics Challenge Post to let us know “the best set of vintage sled pics in the world are all on vintagesleds.com.”  He says, there’re “literally thousands of great photos on vintagesleds.com for you all to enjoy.”

Larry offered this pic of him and 500 of his closest friends at a Vintage snowmobile ride for illustrative purposes.  You can check out the collection at www.vintagesleds.com and let me know what you think.  If you find a personal fan favorite there, comment below and tell me just where to find it so the rest of us can have a look.

Sounds like a challenge, David! 

And remember, if you have vintage sled pics, let me know.  You can have your vintage or antique snowmobile picture posted here, too!  Comment here or email me at sledderchick@gmail.com
