PERSONAL SLEDS - PAGE 19.
Here are a couple more pictures of our childhood friend Mark Mossman and a collection of his vintage pictures of himself back in the day as well as a couple current ones. Mark was kind enough to share his memories and stories with us.
Hey David:
Remember our old El Tigre’s’?
I might be wrong but I think these accompanying pictures are of me and my 78’ El Tigre’ 5000 series, free air that went like a bat out of hell! – Taken sometime from the early 1980’s
I’m even decked out in my matching Sno Pro “pleather” suit from the era with matching sno pro helmet – I just had to look like the guy from the magazine ad of course! – And believe it or not I still have them tucked away in a closet after all these years
And, somewhere I’ve even kept my old snowmobile magazines I collected from the late 70’s early 80’s which showed the 1980 El Tigre 6000 sled rocketing up into the air at a 45 angle with the caption “Worlds fastest production snowmobile”
I’ve never forgotten that image – I’ll see if I can find that old ad amongst my boxes of old Arctic Cat stuff and send it to you guys.
I’ve even included a few shots of my 79’ El Tigre ’ 6000 beside my new (at the time) 1990 650 Wildcat taken around winter 1992.
