Thanks prof, I appreciate the tips. Can't wait to hear your take on throttle brake control. Vids are well shot, lots of good info, and the tunes aren't crazy annoying, great job, I'm a fan.
Of course the technique applies to all to sleds. The older machines are much harder to hold to their edge and navigation in the Backcountry takes a little more work than it should. That's why the sleds have evolved to make riding easier and more enjoyable. If you apply this riding technique to your dragon it will come much easier when you are able to upgrade to a better sled
@@RideRasmussenStyle rite on. This style is totally new to me. And my dragon is my first sled without trailing arms which I just purchased 2 weeks ago. I liked my pro x better for cornering, but night and day difference in overall comfort. THANK YOU for your videos!!!
I have a lynx commander and find it real hard to get on and maintain on edge. Sidehilling is therefore really hard. Is it just training to get better? Is the commandr capable of riding on edge? Is there any modifications I can do (or need to do) to get the snowmobile handle the sidehills easier?
The key to easier carving and balance while on edge is the front arm of the suspension. A long limiter strap will always make it easier to balance on edge, therefore carving will become easier.
@@RideRasmussenStyle thanks! I will try to find and adjust this to see if I will handle the commander more easily. How is the commander to ride when there is sidehills and such? I use it for farming but I also want to drive more for fun to get better to drive.
Hi bret,when you say its not about strenght to roll up the sled,but i wonder what about the weight of the rider,doesent that matter,isent it easyer to roll up and hold a sidehill if you weigh more? And especialy when you have to roll up the sled the hard way?
The hard way is the exception, strength makes it easier to "pull" the sled over. I avoid this always. Let the sled move under you. Manage the throttle, brake, counter steer and terrain so that the sled moves without being pulled over by the rider. Set up in advance so that you can find opportunities to take advantage of without pulling on the handlebars. It will be last minute decisions that require pulling on the bars. Read terrain and make a plan before you get to the point that it requires physical effort to roll the sled up.
@@RideRasmussenStyle so it dosent matter if you are a light guy, its only tecnique that matters, with exept the hard way roll up, then it is a advantage to weigh a bit more? , Im asking becous Im a very light guy, like 115 pounds.
@@mikkelanderssmukneshavn8000 In your situation you cannot cheat like the big and strong guys. You must use technique. And yes it will work, but only if you plan ahead, anticipate, and execute with the right timing. Have fun with it!!

We'll have more on throttle/brake control in future videos. Let us know what else you'd like to see!
Very nice job breaking it up into small bites. The videography is top notch too.
Thanks so much!
Another great video!! Excellent skiing reference 😉
Thanks! We thought the skiers out there might enjoy the analogy.
Thanks Brett another great vid with very useful content looking forward to the vids to come 🤘
Thanks, stay tuned for more!
If the sled is coming over backwards is it best to back out of the throttle or tap the brake. 2019 Summit X 165
Great videos! My question is, does this apply to an older style "rider forward" sled? Say like an 07 dragon? Thanks!

@@RideRasmussenStyle well Im strong, but not heavy.. But thank you for the Quick and good answer. 🙂👍
Nice!
Is this in YellowStone?
You have the right assumption. The Custer/Gallatin national Forest
This guy owns the ugliest snowmobile there is.
Eric Jörgensen Thanks for that.
Just like your whole family tree
