| to elbow the snow przedzierać się przez śnieg Explanation: Mam wrażenie, że to nie jest jakiś utarty zwrot. Wywodzi się on raczej z powiedzenia: "elbow your way" jak w "elbow your way through a crowd" co mi kojarzy się z przedzieraniem. Pozdrawiam S |

peer agreement (net): +2| to elbow the snow muskac/dotykac snieg lokciami Explanation: Odpowiedz Stanislawa, choc sensowna, ni w pelni mnie zadowalala. Poniewaz nic jednak nie moglem znalezc ani wymyslic, postanowilem udac sie do zrodel I napisac bezposredni do sprzedawcy tego sprzetu. Wg niego mozna wtwijac takie ciasne zakrety, I tak szybko, ze doslownie tykasz snieg lokciami. Ponizej tresc otrzymanego e-mail'a. PS. Przepraszam za brak polskich znakow. Nie ma zainstalowanych na tym "kompie". Hello George, Thanks for your interest in the amazing Explorer snobike kit. I am the owner of Moto Trax with internet sales and a dealer network in the west. I have owned lots of motorized toys in my life but this kit is right at the top for fun. It is part dirt bike, snowmobile and jet ski all blended into one incredible machine. The engineering design has been very thoroughly tested and developed by A D Boivin. The reference to “elbowing the snow’, means you can lean hard on corners and in the powder without washing out the front end. It is literally possible to have your elbow drag in the powder when you lean over hard and hit the throttle. You can do a tight donut like you would on a jet ski. It is fun and easy to ride on the trails and in the powder too. Because of the narrow profile and great maneuverability ,with just a little experience you can ride into areas that would be very difficult on a conventional snowmobile. I have mine on a KTM530 EXC R. It is a blast to ride. |
