    I’ve been riding 30 plus yrs but I’m a trail guy and I still can’t hold a side hill but that helped me understand what I’m doing wrong. I can go where the other guys go off trail but I’m twice as tired when I get there because I’m muscling the machine instead of making the machine work for me. Thanks brother for the tips.

    I like this video, don't listen to locals who don't think this is needed. I learned the wrong way years ago and have been retraining myself. It's tough but I appreciate your insight and think it will help me.

    Just rode a mountain sled out west for the first time a couple weeks ago. It's very frustrating and tiring! Thank you for this video on how to stop fighting the sled!

    Hey Brent, I have ridden the tails in Northern Ontario for years, and a couple times I got into the deep powder after missing a turn, and would get sucked into the deep unpacked snow. When you mention to counter steer I totally get now it as that's what I do on my Harley Bike prior to making a sharp turn. I will definitely do this in the future when it happens again, thanks and Cheers

    4:27 This is the exact same thing then you ride a bike, like a Yamaha R6, you counter steer to get the bike even lower then cornering and scraping the knee in the road.

    My big learn on moto was to push the inside end of bars away from your body by extending your inside arm. This forces the bike or sled to fall into the turn. Once the fall has started you use the throttle to keep the point of balance where you want it! This works at 150 MPH as well as it works at 10. Never "turn" the bars!

    • @brentcook24
      @brentcook24  Місяць тому

      Ya I agree so counter steer to get it on edge and then use the bars and weight and throttle to help you keep it where you want it!

    When do you put both feet on the same side? What's the difference?

      When it comes to sidehilling it would be the same technique!!!

    does this work on an older trail sled? (1995 artic cat cougar 550)

    • @brentcook24
      @brentcook24  Рік тому +2

      Being honest it won't be as easy to do, because the snowmobile isn't necessarily designed for mountain riding, however when trying to sidehill in deep snow, yes the same technique still applies!

    • @randicampbell1530
      @randicampbell1530 Рік тому

      100% can do. Just heavier, more intent needed.

  • @matthewmoore3928

    Do you counter steer first then blip the throttle to get on edge ? And how do you know when to start your counter steer to get on edge as you transition from the trail to the powder ?

    • @brentcook24
      @brentcook24  Рік тому

      Yes, counter steer before you blip, that will set the sled on edge easier and when you get on edge it will hold it there easier. I counter steer whenever I want to initiate a turn or initiate a sidehill on a steep slope. Also use a counter steer for balance once you are on edge (using skis helps you control balance easier than trying to shift your body weight). Hope that makes sense and helps!

      It’s actually three things at once .. blip / counter steer / weight transfer on leg

    Ill tell you what we did way back in deeo powder, not mountains. Roll the whole snowmobile over and get going. Its not rocket science, or is it. Snowmobikes haven't always had to be drive like jet skis.
