Rainbow, maybe bout 10km or less. Break line snapped spilling fluids everywhere possible it started a small fire. My disk break cracked aswell and I can only imagine my caliper is fuked.

I had my break line blow in Rainbow last year, and got out by putting my sled in reverse and just going down the single track and giving it gas when i needed to break.  But if you don't have reverse, than yeah super shitty.  I'd help you out but my sled needs a tune really bad and definitely isn't reliable enough to be towing another sled.

Got it back! lucky since someone tried steeling it by towing it out themselves. Lucky my sleds a tank and they didnt get far.

But yah, just took the break pads off and threw it in R on steep downhills.
