we got a yamaha bravo 250 short track christmas 1984...dad paid 2500 canadian dollars dor it fast forward 14 years and we drove it to the scrap yard motor top notch frame broke in 2 and family divorced,,,what a good machine tough
I love snowmobiles sadly only used them about 3 times in Bosnia for resupplying a rebroadcasting station in the hills. It was a soviet built copy of the Olympic with a big old 2 stroke engine about 600cc I think. It hauled two of us and two sleds of batteries food and gas for the fuel heaters 👍 As ugly as sin but by heck she got the job done with (relative) ease. Charlie 🇬🇧
I bought a 1970 Ski-doo in 1977. The 250cc engine was replaced by the previous owner with a 399cc bombier race engine with a single carb. I still have it and those who see it going always cheer and take pictures. It runs like a bat out of hell in the straights but it is easy to tip over on sharp turns. The only thing I've done with it is a new track, ski skids and wiring. But it still looks orginal and in great condition. Thanks from Seward Alaska.
Maybe you could do a vidoe on what kind of winter gear clothes boots bloves and such you wear since its so much more snowy and cold up your way then in the lower 48 and not to mention a video on all the cool treasures you have acquired on your adventures
The Olympic sure brought back some memories. I drove one when I was a kid 40 yrs ago. They were slow and heavy and smelled like gas and oil and id do it again in a second LOL. The one I drove had no runners left on the skiis so you needed at least an acre of land to turn it around. Good times. Thanks for the ride.
Boy those old sleds are Tough.. The Ski Doo I remember riding one when I was a kid. That and a Scripion like that only black ..They run good. I almost moved to Alaska years ago because I loved riding Snowmobiles so much. Me and My Oldest Son loved it. But I'm kinda glad I didn't after watching Your channel I seen how much snow You Guys get ...Great Video Bud. Brought back Alot of great memories. .
Love the old snowmachines. The old Ski Doo in Alaska Mining and Diving was mine years ago, my boys and I dug it out from a cabin out by Sheep Mt of the Glenn Highway.
Love the old sleds. When I was young, my first was a 1978 Polaris Colt 250. Paid $100 out of a snowmobile junkyard. It fowled plugs all the time, but it was alot of fun to ride.
I want to thank you for sharing this video. Both sleds sound great. Hopefully you will do more videos with all 3 sleds. Looking forward to your next video.
* Dude you are so young 🤭 I remember when the "67" Ski Doos were new ... My friend's dad got one and he used to drag all four us around behind it on a "48" Ford car hood ! In 69 one of his friends got one called a " Boa Ski " that sucker seemed so fast back then . 👊😎👍
That is absolutely beautiful there it's God's country as my mom and dad. I miss the snow so much I moved to Florida back in 95 because of my first wife and now I have kids here I would love them to move back to New England so I could get the winter and fall seasons
Those old Olympiques are great sleds, good enough to make it to the North Pole in ‘68 at least. If you need parts Ron Thompsen at Gooseland vintage ski doo has had almost everything I have needed over the years
Love the Olympic…my dad had one that I ran mercilessly. He bought it brand new with the matching Ski Boose that we road in around town when we were little. I still have the sleigh but the sled is likely a Hyundai fender or something equally terrible.
I am impressed with this kind of thing, Deffinitely a good machine to get yourself out of house and to town for supplies. I do have a few good stories on them as I live in Wasilla so we kinda are neighbors... I just got too old to keep one for myself, my son will let me drive his
Hey,could you send some of that snow down here to lower Michigan I would love to get some riding in this year without going up to the UP great video 😁👍👍
I had an old bombardier as a teen that was very similar to you Olympic. Not fast or fancy but always started, ran pretty good and was a great trail busting sled. Friends and fam with the fancy fast new sleds were always getting them buried and/or overheating them. Good memories Thanks!
awesome love the old sleds. bet you run across some intresting old 2 stroke stuff up there chainsaws ect. would love any videos on finding stuff need some vintage saws to complete the setup :) remember one fella down here with an old skidoo he had an old blue homelite chainsaw and a big yellow toboggan he would go out and cut deadfall up for firewood and haul it home.
A much needed asset that far north i would suppose just picked up a 90s polaris 400 indy this past summer for 350.00 needed new in tank line and pump seen its first pull the one storm we had,i think its a ripper,sure seemed fast,steerings a bit lacking could be carbides?seats shabby but my first sled looks nice though!!only downside no reverse or elect.start or title but vin is clear,cops checked for me.also not much snow here!!well i guess us men dont need sissy rides,so who needs reverse.enjoy ur snow fella,some want others not so much.glad ur rides fired right up!!snooky pa.💥👍😜🤪👍💥
That was fun, are they a centrifugal clutch deal? We don't get much snow in Australia so I have never had the opportunity to go for a ride on one, looks like fun though. The pop up headlight is cool, will be better when there is a light in there. I will watch just about anything you put up, I remember one time I spent 10 minutes of my life watching a guy put new line on his string trimmer, must have thought something was going to happen but it didn't. I quite like that you just do a running commentary rather than turning the camera on yourself, something different, adds a bit of mystery, although I did catch a glimpse in a rear view mirror once.
Just watched the latest offering and as usual enjoyed every minute. I have never seen snow like that in real life but you seem to have so much fun. I bet it gets old pretty quick though with such low temps and so much snow for long periods. I must say it is good to see more of you in the clips I did say you should show yourself a while ago. Remember you are the channel its good to see the star every once in a while. Good work keep it up and stay safe.
had a polaris txl took 100 pulls to start then started parking it in the warm dairy barn everyday cows covered it with s... fun times trying to find the key/choke
Would love to watch more of the old sleds. Nothing like getting an engine to run after way to many months
Those barvo's are most reliable sleds made. Not fast at all but it will get you home.👌✌🤘
I love that old '70 Oly. Had a couple of them. Some of the best sleds ever made in my opinion. The Terry Sawchuk windshield is a classic man!
Needs a lot more sutures!
@@gs1100ed LMAO yeah, true that.

Fun seeing old sleds getting some riding. Like riding old dirtbikes in the woods in the summer.
The old Rotax Ski Doo does it always . I had a 1971 Olympic 335 Ran it for 5 years , great travels in the boonies of Quebec around rural Montreal,

Love to see the old sleds still out there running! Cool video, wouldn’t mind seeing more of them!
Love the older sleds.
The one lunger bombardier is pretty cool machine, as boys we spent some time on them, great fun
One lunger, yea!
Those are some loyal old rigs
dang if that engine on that olympic sled was to backfire thru the carb that would be bad for the balls lol

I lived in anchorage back in 1973,74 and my buddy Roger swanstrom had a old ski doo like that one

Heavy? Maybe compared to a mini sled or Elan. Olympics are light. The aluminum '92 Bravo maybe lighter

Great video Yamaha bravo snowmobiles are definitely a bonus
this video brought back so many great memories of me riding around on my 1970 Elan for hours on end when i was a kid

Can't wait to watch
Ski Doo just got that distinctive sound
Love the Olympic…my dad had one that I ran mercilessly. He bought it brand new with the matching Ski Boose that we road in around town when we were little. I still have the sleigh but the sled is likely a Hyundai fender or something equally terrible.
Very very cool sleds!! So many toys you have but not a loader yet? When is that coming? Lol always enjoy your vidjeos
Two classic sleds. Thanks for the adventure on very vintage equipment. Onward!
Love them both ! Artic Cats are my favorite, rotary powerrrrr
I am impressed with this kind of thing, Deffinitely a good machine to get yourself out of house and to town for supplies. I do have a few good stories on them as I live in Wasilla so we kinda are neighbors... I just got too old to keep one for myself, my son will let me drive his
Man that Rotax-a-saurus woke right up after you squirt him in the eye a bit. Nice sleds 👍
Nice sleds.
Lol I'm watching this while working on my 1980 scorpion 440 whip.
Old sleds rule!
You have some awesome Snowgoes. Great to watch you get them running for the winter. I miss Alaska, so I enjoy your videos.
Hey,could you send some of that snow down here to lower Michigan I would love to get some riding in this year without going up to the UP great video 😁👍👍
kick butt vintage machines, you must put good fuel in them to start from last years season
I knew that bravo would start you can’t beat them
I had an old bombardier as a teen that was very similar to you Olympic. Not fast or fancy but always started, ran pretty good and was a great trail busting sled. Friends and fam with the fancy fast new sleds were always getting them buried and/or overheating them. Good memories Thanks!
We have an élan and a Tundra at our cottage so this is very similar to my experience
Heck yeah , get wild cant get enough of the yellow one . Will the state let you go to the store on the sled ?
Old school cool.
Remember my old sleds thanks for the video Keep on keeping on cheers .
Fun! The old ones bring back lots of memories.
I bet you stay a little warmer on the old yellow one with the engine right in front of you... great video.
Those are my kind of sleds. I have 4 elan's. Just need a bit more snow.
I have a 335 that I want to stuff into one of them.
I like the Ride along on your old sleds and the new ones. Reverse is a nice improvement
awesome love the old sleds. bet you run across some intresting old 2 stroke stuff up there chainsaws ect. would love any videos on finding stuff need some vintage saws to complete the setup :) remember one fella down here with an old skidoo he had an old blue homelite chainsaw and a big yellow toboggan he would go out and cut deadfall up for firewood and haul it home.
