- I can't thank @ChrisBurandt enough for having me out and putting me up in his lodge. If you haven't been out to ride with him I highly recommend that experience!

Thanks for the kind words my friend 👊🏻. Your riding and tenacity is unreal to watch in person! I can’t wait for round 2 😎🤟
I need to get more elevation training in before round two 😜 Some of my favorite days on the snow ever, thanks for having me out 🤘
You guys are simply a different breed...amazing skills
This is definitely one of my new pre season pump up videos !! The other is Chris version of this video 😂🤘🏻. I want to get into both of your clinic’s for some learning and play
You should go to Montana for round two. Still Have oxygen at 6000-8000ft
How insane wouldn't it be to grind up the money and finally be able to go riding with Burant, the guy you watched in snowmobile videos as a kid..
*AND THEN YOU SHOW UP AS A BONUS!!*
How cool for those dudes 🤘
I didn’t start riding until I was 40 in1996, I fell in with very aggressive riders that beat me to death the first few years, this brings back such good memories, pylon racing in the trees is so freaking hard, I’m old now and all I can say is tear it up as much as you can.
Killer riding celeb. The go pro footage is the way to go watching how you shred. And the length of the show is top notch. Can't wait to see the next one
Thanks for watching! Some more good ones to come over the next few weeks 🤘🤘
Fantastic video. It was cool to see Chris Burandt in his element and watch his efficient, fluid style and flawless technique. His positive attitude is also inspiring.
I agree! He is extremely efficient and his riding is clean
So sick to watch. A legend, and a legend in the making, riding together. I know Chris isn't done by any means, but it's cool to see. It's like watching the passing of the torch to the next generation of riders. And I love seeing that rowdy, aggressive technical riding style just continue to progress. Love it!
He’s still going so hard and hasn’t lost his edge at all 🙌
You should come ride the Horse Creek area. I would just like to see you in action.
@@scottkelly3673 are you talking about Horse Creek in Wyoming near Jackson and Hoback?
Hey Buddy Caught on to ya through freerider! Truly appreciate what a great representation of what an athlete representing a sport should be! The level of respect you give to every level of rider is something thats lost on many these days! Im in no shape to ever ride with you but I'll take ya for a fack of a mini jet boat ride if you ever find yourself in my back yard(Northern BC Canda)! Cheers! Ian
I'm pumped to hear! Thanks for watching!
Lets face it, both of you guys have that something special that the rest of us don't. Your ability to read, react to the terrain and make the snowmobile work for you - it's truly amazing to watch. It's not about who is better, it's about the sport and watching it evolve. Chris sounded sick, you are at elevation, Chris has a mod sled, etc... who cares, I appreciate how you both admire your individual skill sets and are so very humble. Keep on pushing your limits, avoid injuries, and thanks for creating awesome content - I can't wait for the season to get started!
Its so rad seeing the progression of all of you guys. I moved to CO for the snowmobiling dream back in 2008. It didnt work out but seeing everything evolve has been cool to watch.
I bet you still had a killer time!
LOVE LOVE the POV makes it seem like we are doing the riding. More Please.
More to come this season 😎
Caleb, awesome content man. This was by far my favorite video yet. Thanks for letting us see inside your world some more. Your little details dont go unoticed and you are pushing this industry ahead. Your an inspiration for my own progression. Cheers.
Thank you! I’m pumped to hear
Love the long video dude! And the riding was absolutely mental from both of you!
I really enjoy seeing you and Matt(Freerider) ride together. Very entertaining, makes my day every time😁😁
I have two more videos to upload from riding with Matt last spring 🤘
@@CalebKesterke Awesome! I will for sure watch them too👍😁
Crazy riding! Nice to see the segment around 26:00 where you explained how the other guy could have saved his line. Helps a lot for us less gifted riders
I’m going to try to incorporate more of that into my video! I’ll be doing vlogs on my clinic weekends this season
Chris is obviously a staple but I think really think Muskoka has become the best gnarly drainage make it to the top kind of rider and the fact that he’s basically unsponsored keeps it very relatable for us common folk. No idea if you get north but would be amazing to see a riding day between the both of you.
He is a phenomenal rider, I was pretty blown away riding with him last year. Everyone gets really good at their niche of riding, it would be cool to see Chris go ride Matt’s drainages or Matt ride Chris’s steep right trees in sugar snow
You’re all my favorite riders. You were introduced to me at the beginning of last year. And wow! I love your passion for snowmobiling. As I’ve said in other comments I am glad you found your passion in life and it makes a lot of people want to learn back country riding. All of you are amazing. And thank you for your time and content. We enjoy it.
You both are on a whole Nother level! Mad respect for the both of you! I look forward to seeing this year’s content!
Thank you! Thanks for watching 🙌
You two are insane so glad use finally got to ride together it was worth the hr of my time watching keep killer videos coming buddy
Great Video ! I would have to say about YOU and all the guys you mentioned at the end of this vid , that your ALL leaders in the Snowmobile industry.. You guys are "breaking trail" LOL into new ground , finding out more of what the sleds can do and helping this sport grow exponentially....
Great video, Caleb! I'm even more stoked to take your clinic next season. I'd love to see you pair up with Brett Turcotte up in Revy. Or maybe get him and Chris down to ride with you in Seeley. Anything like that would be awesome.
In 2 weeks I’ll be dropping an episode from a day of riding with Turcotte. Hoping to do some early season tree riding with him too
Awesome video! Don't cut yourself short, you are definitely on the top in your riding! Two great athletes just killing it!
Fantastic video Caleb, it was nice to see a side of Chris we don't normally see. The raw footage is great. You guys are amazing riders.
Thanks for watching 🤘
Awesome video, man those light weight sleds of burandt looks like fun
In gnarly technical riding you out ride Chris in my opinion, your aggression is over the top but that being said you are almost 20 years younger then he is. I wish I was young again, me and a few guys I know I think helped start some of the hard core BC sled movement in the later 90's, but what so many of todays hardcore riders are doing is insane; especially when it comes to the big gaps.
You were in Chris's playground with him on a mod sled he set up for his style, you sure can see how well his sleds drive forward instead of wheelie fun time machines.
Pro vs khaos
Every time I ride a khaos I'm reminded that I'm old, and the pro calmly takes me everywhere. There's very little ski lift, but it doesn't make me tired getting to the top in an uneventful way. 😂
Chris is like a fine wine he gets even better with age.
Best riding video ever. Two humble, yet extremely talented dudes that are amazing on the snow, doesn't get much better. 🤙
It's awesome being able to learn a thing or two as we watch
Great video, loved every minute of it! It's pretty awesome to see you doing these crossover videos with other riders, you push each other and we get get awesome footage to watch because of it. My vote is a ride with Keith Curtis, but another video with any top tier rider is a win! Keep up the great work. 😊
Keith is an animal in the trees! That’d be a fun day. Thanks for watching 🤘
Awesome video! You’re passion from where you started to now is amazing. Kick ass man. So fun to watch you guys. Did Chris let you try his XLT sled? 😅 I’d love to see you ride with Cody Monroe in his “Jungle” in McCall. Get Keith Curtis and those boys to meet you there. 😈
No he offered but I didn’t want to experience that and want to do even more mods to my sleds 😅
@@CalebKesterkeit's a curse! The more mods you have the more you have to step it up on every one!
Even the simple things, like I tried a Munster and now I'll be buying a $200 throttle for every sled! Not too mention the skiz hood, my old pro has skiz air side panels and bumpers, all take the abuse and dump that heat and weight!
I just wish skiz made the air panels for the newer sleds. It was amazing how much they helped.
X2 On the ride in the jungle with Cody Monroe and Keith Curtis. That would make some good content!
X3
Great stuff dude. Your videos have inspired me to step it up this season. Mostly in the gym here at home and eating better to get my fitness right. And hopefully when the snow comes to turn it up a notch on the sled.
It’ll make a huge difference, good on you 🙌
Unreal! I can't see more than 80% of the lines you take, I'm watching like where is he going, then boop right on through!
This was a pleasure to watch. You've got a great eye on the video taking, and it was a blast to see the prolonged clips in the steep of Chris. It seems that all I ever see of Chris is the quick HERO shots, but with what you taped, holy cow, you ain't kidding about him being smooth. I've never seen that side. The 2 of you have each have your own style, and each on there own merits is just amazing. Those uphill 360 spins Chris did were mind blowing (13 minute mark). Can't say I've ever heard you breath so hard, but hey, 12,000' will do that to a guy. Thanks for the time and effort putting these videos out.
It’s hard to film Chris’s style of riding. Too many trees to get good angles of it 😅
I was also pretty sick and fighting a cold. That combined with the elevation really kicked my butt
@@CalebKesterke , well, all things considered, you still rocked it. Also, thru it all, even if you did not realize it, I still found things that were a learning experience for me from watching you on this episode. The big one was actually how when you were giving advice to a couple of folks who managed to trench in a bit. Your calm manner in talking to them was a good thing for me to see. It brought a realization to myself that I was a tad harsh in trying to explain things to folks in my area when things did not go right. Thanks for the lesson in being humble.
You guys make it look so easy when it’s anything but!! Good stuff men!! 🤟🤟🤟
Thanks for watching 🤘🤘
I’ve never commented about that “best rider” topic, I have watched Chris since he was on an arctic cat, always liked him, he is a phenomenal rider no doubt! The best videos ever when it comes to tree riding, besides yours Caleb and Matt’s. But, I think you need to go up that gnarly creek that Keith goes up in his videos. Truly insane handling of his sled always with what seems to very little effort. I have watched that dude win Jackson so many times on so many different sleds it’s truly remarkable, so in my mind he’s the GOAT of anything sled. Love seeing proven progression vids pop up during the day, usually watch them right then or at lunch. Hope yours and Matt’s channels blow up!!
Glad I passed on that add I saw for a lightly used 2024 demo boost that was for sale in Montana. Awesome collab with 2 amazing riders. Additionally, love watching you ride, no one rides with the level of energy you do… every time I watch your content I think to myself ‘this guy just plain rides angry’… keep it up
Haha, it's broke in proper and ready to go
I love the raw footage guys. Some nasty riding!
Caleb is my favorite rider! Such a sweet video and was so blessed to be able to skip class today so I could grind this video as soon as I saw it, lol!
Thanks buddy! Looking forward to riding with you more this season 😎
It's funny, one of the first things you said about him being so precise and you being so aggressive. It reminds me of how Chris talked about Bret when they were both still on Cat. Rasmussen would be a cool guy to see you ride with.
Great video! This was the collaboration we've been looking for! Idk how you top this, maybe a guest spot on the Jay and Blain show? Bring saxton along and I'll bet you guys cold raise some hell. 😂🎉
Living vicariously for sure!! Sick skill boys, and cool to see less skilled guys working on their talent. My son was fairly talented and would have loved to see this!! 😢 Great job!! 👍👍
Wicked video! Love the footage and finally seeing you ride with Chris. 🤟🏼
Thanks man 🙌
Loved the syncronized bowties. Much better than the nutcracker ads we just seen.
I have seen some realy impressiv riding with a 800kg pellet bag after a sled. Great video. Keep up the good work
Would really like to see you and Kyle riding together more again! The 509 episode of the two of you and Matt’s videos (if I remember correctly) of you guys are some of my favorites
Amazing video and great riding !!
That XLT Chris is riding sounds like it’s super tuned to the max. Instant throttle response. Sounds amazing in the video. It must sound unreal when he flys by.
That sled was running really good 👌
WoW so sick,you should come ride the chic choc this winter with Emanuel Mimeault
Calep is a Bruce Lee on snowmobile why I said that because he can adjust to any situation he’s in. Chris brings out his best to make everyone better by pushing to the next level.
This is the Definition of Hard Enduro Riding, well Minus the Dirt.😎
Turkey Reinheardt would be a good rider to collaborate with, he's always full pinned wide open
.....and Keith being the best hillclimb racer.
But I will say that in terms of rowdiness - you wear that crown Caleb. Just insane.
To have that kind of confidence! BAD ASS
Calebs Switchbacks are so much more rowdy than Chris's.
Thank you, Caleb. It was absolutely incredible. You both are on the highest level and it's really impossible to say who is better. You both easily ride in those places which average rider will not even consider as a place for riding and will try his best to avoid getting in there. Thank you very much again, I really enjoyed your video. What do you think about riding with Bret Rasmussen, if he is still active?
I watched his videos growing up! I have a lot of respect for him!
You, Cody Monroe, Keith Curtis and Andy Thomas! All start line up in the jungle
That would be a wild day!
@@CalebKesterke man that would be so sick!
@@louisbruno8972 Maybe I should invite them out to Seeley for a weekend. Seeley would be similar terrain
@@CalebKesterke definitely the 4 of you are the gnarliest and most enjoyable to watch ride right now in my opinion as well Sam Peterson and burandt.
wow, great video. it must be one hell of a feeling even for you to ride with Chris, who was your model. you 2 guys and Brett Turcotte, Sahen skinner, next level Dan would be my favorites riders, plus Muskoka
It definitely felt surreal
I'd like to see you bring him in your torain, like after watching your video with Moskoka Freerider , Matt, in Utah, that was awesome 😎. Let's see Chris Burdaunt run like that!
I’d love to host Chris in Seeley Lake! I bet he’d love the pillow fields we have
Sweet video, you should've shown the sled carnage after. Had to be some good marks.
Always enjoy watching! And I ride a snowbike, makes me want to ride a sled!
I've never understood the fascination with steep tree riding. You just end up wrestling 500 lbs all day to go nowhere.....it IS very difficult though and you end up getting stuck a lot. It caters to the most technical of riders (Burandt) though. If Kaleb had the TIME Burandt did in the trees, no doubt to me who would be the steep tree king....haha loved the video! Turcotte is awesome, more videos with him!
Being able to take a snowmobile anywhere you want in the mountains is a pretty rewarding experience.
@@CalebKesterke That's a fair point.
@freddockins9470 That’s a little harsh, lots of different ways to enjoy the sport
@freddockins9470 A gaming loser thinking he knows anything about the mtns. Stick to Twitch KOOK
Lets see those snow dances everyone!
It needs to snow! I’m ready to get this season started
So epic, you guys are animals! Thanks for sharing!
I'd love to see the lines you could pull on his cheater sled😂
10" of track in that snow is huge. At seely my 163 can feel heavy and slow to turn and I keep looking at 155's.
However, at the end of the day when we're all gassed, I can just point and go on the 163 while my 155 buddies take 3 runs and poack tracks to make it out.
Trying to bowtie a 163 isn't happening at my skill level unless it's a POW day in most of the Montana snow though, and let's face the fact that you need a nimble sled to pick your way through with your style.
Okay another 1 long video with Caleb, Chris, and Kyle I bet that would be very entertaining
I was bummed I didn’t get to ride with Kyle P. I guess I’ll have to go back and do it again 😅
no amount of talent can make that a nervous ride, handled it like a pro. don’t stop progressing 😎
U both r good riders, but where’s the footage of u on Chris’ 450lber! Also I’d love to see u ride with the Mcbride BC locals!
Going to be a little late for work today! Good thing I'm self employed!
Respectable reason to be late 😎
From watching all you pro riders from what ive seen its all in tne foot work
Chris is a true master of his craft
I agree!
So fun to watch! It’s nice to know you guys are human and do get stuck everyone once and awhile. Keep up the great videos. Also, two question is your 24 khaos boost bone stock? And did your 7s gauge not work? It’s appeared to be blacked out.
Thanks for watching!
Yes, it was bone stock. Not a single thing done to it other than increasing preload on the shocks
Caleb, I live in Helena and would love to come ride with you for a day man
Check out my website and book a ride! 🤘
Sahen skinner is pretty fun to watch. It would be cool if you ride with him.
I’ve had lots of good days with Sahen! We rode Sweden together last spring
@CalebKesterke shoot i didn’t realize that. I enjoy the content Caleb and appreciate what you and Matt and Brett all do. Keep on keeping on!
Damn that is some incredible riding
I think you did an amazing job keeping up with Burandt considering he is on a Lightweight mod and you're on a stock khaos boost.
come to BC again and i would love to learn some of your skillz
As soon as Revy has good base I’ll be heading up that way
Lots of good riders out there, id say you are probably one of the best well rounded MNT sledders for sure. But one style that is pretty fun to do and looks really cool on film, I don;t know what you call it, but downhill ski inspired lines like Brody Evans & Derick Woods chit back in the day. Rob Alford is old balls now, but if you ever get a chance to ride with him, I swear he knows all the coolest & funnest downhill pow lines in Revelstoke.
Brodie Evan’s really took that style to the next level! I still go back and watch his videos all the time. I don’t think anyone has come close to that big of air on smooth downhill lines
Drop Keith Curtis in there and then it's my top three riders!!! You guys are the tops!
I was long waiting for this one to come out
It’s been a long time coming 😎
I really liked the muskoko freerider type vlog
@@Jedmack He’s set the vlog standard for the whole sled industry!
As soon as the guy at 9:46 started talking, i knew he was Canadian.😂
My favorite riding is Muskoka
Man at 6:58 I was thinking what kinda trick was that!?!? 😂😂😂😂
A trick I need a lot of work on to perfect 😂
Don't discount the sled Chris was riding vs the stocker you were on. Chris is a damned good rider, no doubt, but having an extra 50-75 hp on a sled that's 100 lbs (at least) lighter could make a Muskoka level rider hang with you.
Chris didn't disavow it, in fact bragged about riding a "Cheater Sled".
Great video! Kept me up way past my planned bedtime.
I don’t disagree with you but I also like to be careful to not make excuses. If a guy believes he’s disadvantaged by what he’s riding it’s going to slow him down more than if he just focuses on riding the best he can
Looks like Chris running a pro setup,vs the khaos, has an advantage with keeping the nose down, floating vs trenching, and carrying more momentum. That 155 khaos just looks like a handful, and exhausting! I know you young guys like that playfulness, but I'd need an oxygen mask!😂
Yeah the 165 Pro definitely has the advantage for that type of riding! I love how rowdy the 155 Khaos is though
@@CalebKesterke : Oh, I can see that, and you're allot of fun to watch, and if I was 28, instead of 48, I'd probably choose the khaos over the pro too!
Just #Sick too #Watch 🤔🤔✌️✌️👍👍
Aside from his massive skills I would think having the lighter sled with more power (900 boost I think) and 30lbs less body weight would also help with the momentum.
I think they shaved more like 60 lbs. Carbon skid, titanium everything, etc. He said he could drop 3 more lbs in the suspension, but lose the remote adjust and air. Quite literally the only weight left on the sled. 😂
I'm waiting for him to figure out how to ditch the hood and panels all together, and just run a clutch cover for a few pounds.
@@leftyeh6495 I was referring to body weight. Burandt is probably around 160 lbs and Caleb looks closer to 190.
“I missed the sweet spot….” 😂 Bet you were smiling a lot during the edit.
Smiled a lot during the edit and even more during the ride. Some of my favorite days of tree riding ever
Was gonna go bow hunting this morning til I got distracted by this hour long documentary...
😅😅🙌🙌
Im sorry Caleb I may have to give the edge of the ultimate backcountry tree rider to Keith Curtis.. for sure burandt and him are #1 and 2.. but Keith is such a freak of nature lol
I’ve ridden with both, my opinion is that Chris dominates the backcountry but Keith absolutely owes the race circuit. He is damn good at tree riding but I think his focus is racing hillclimb
What I would give to ride with you guys for 1 day.
No cheating and editing out the stucks during POV. Got to keep it real for us viewers.
Dude, were in Montana can I find snow like this!!! We have NO SNOW!!!
Not yet but it’s coming 😎
6 more days, and we're supposed to get a dump. Hopefully that sets up the base for another 5-10 foot later on!
Also would have loved to see you on chris’s mod
I’m scared of that sled. Too much power and too much carbon fiber. Carbon fiber doesn’t last long around me
Awesome
Thank you 😊
Maverik walker is my favorite rider
what track and size did you have and what track and size did chris have? how do you feel about matt e. riding compared to chris's and yours?
Seemed like your sled was bogging pretty hard in the low end? Unless that’s just the GoPro sound
Clutching was definitely a little off for that elevation
@@CalebKesterke that makes sense forgot you were at like 12k 😂 I just noticed it! Sick riding thanks for the reply!
@@northwestcustom8531 I love the stock boost clutching at lower elevation but I think a different setup would be helpful that high.
Thanks for watching and the support!
would love to see you and chris do a collaboration with Dan Adams (next level riding clinics) in Alpine Wy where everyone knows we have the best snow! Do you guys ever do bad ass rides with locals where there is no camera crew and just legit hardcore backcountry riding? you guys are the best riders in the world but definitely gets a little annoying when you have to stop every five minutes to film!
Dude, ru wearing lipstick? Must be the ☀ awesome vid!!
I did a bunch of avalanche training right before this and got destroyed by the sun
You should definitely ride with Cody Monroe.
That’d be really fun 🤘
