Spent my life on atvs, raced motocross for a few seasons. Wasn’t half bad either… street bikes for a few years as well…. Rode my first sleds this week and it was way harder than I expected! Totally takes practice and some physicality for sure. I’m Looking forward to this new niche but I know there will be challenges ahead
Good points all of them. I've been riding/racing everything since I was 10 but put the snowmobiling down for 5 years and I feel like a noob all over again. Being patient with yourself is important. I would say another point would be......Find the right people to ride with......don't link up with riders who are better and less patient because you feel like you need to be on their level all the time. If you find the right people it goes along ways to learning and them being on your level or being patient and helpful with you.
I'm just getting into the sport.i run a tracked turbo side by side and atv. i can afford a boosted sled but chose a skidoo expedition 600 efi sport.it's only 85 hp.I'll spend the next few winters learning on my frozen 17 kilometer long lake till I know what the hell i'm doing.my older brother is a hard core mountain rider.i already know it's not for me,I'll stick to trails.I'm almost 58.never too old to try something new.
Have good goggles so you can see whats your doing, build up your fitness so your not huffin and puffin, take a break when your tired because big mistakes can happen

Great tips, beginner here and wishing now I didn’t buy a 9r khaos 😬 we’ll see how the first ride goes
That is a great sled. I think it is way better to start there than a boost. I think you can grow your riding into that and it will be awesome!
Took my first ride today on a 700 and I was shocked! You definitely didn’t need a 900 😂 good luck bro and be careful
i like the tips and gonna use them for this winter cus i have a acutall sled that runs maybe not a 800, yes its a 600 but its a nice one

I bought a Polaris Dragon 600 and rode it three times, then bought a RMK PRO 800 Turbo lol!
finger on the brake!
Amen!!!
Good tips fellas. Love what you're doing!
What did Ken Block do to die on his snowmobile?
He went to reentry and it came back and landed on him. At least that’s what I’ve heard…
