We do need more snow ... so Please ... PRAY FOR SNOW !!!
Hope You Enjoy The Video !!
Just like a camera----------Point and Shoot .Looks like you can go anywhere on those things. Love the bushwacking stuff . My winter riding season (trail pass bought) starts next weekend.
Have a safe and a happy new year.
Hey John V Guy ... gotta love video when you can't tell where the SOB is pointing sometimes .... sigh ....
Yup, I'm pretty impressed with these new Backcountry Tracks. I can't wait to get out & explore some new areas. Sure hope we get some more snow thou or this will be a really short riding season.
Alrighty, hope you can get out & do some great riding !!
THANKS, and you & your family have an Awesome & Safe New Years as well.
Gla you enjoyed the video & THANK YOU for stopp'in in to check it out !!
Cool ride buddy. That's a boatload more snow than we have over here. There's not enough for tracks for sure. Glad the new shoes work well. Think Snow! (Can't believe I'm saying that....but this year I mean it.) thx for sharin.
Thanks My Friend !!! A boatload ... well, it must be a small boat then ... HAHAHAHA !! Yeah, I was talking to an aunt in Denver & she was saying the same thing, You Guys Have No Snow !! THAT SUCKS !!! I'm with you, I hope Mother Nature smiles on us real soon !!
Glad you enjoyed the video & Thanks for watch'in San Juan !!
You were really kicking up some snow there Gunny!! I was really impressed with the tracks AND the amount of snow you plowed thru. Thanks for sharing!!
WOO HOO !!! ... Yes I was. I to am totally impressed with these new Backcountry Tracks. Glad you enjoyed the video Dave & THANKS for check'in it out too !!
I'm a flat lander and enjoy trail riding vid's over trackin but that was awesome. Who needs a snow mobile when you have those tracks. Good thing you built those fender extenders. You would not be able get off the machine otherwise. There was enough snow blowing over as it was. It was amazing how the back tracks dug down in 2 wheel drive. Smart buy gunny.
HAHAHAHA !!! ... If you ever try track'in you won't want to go back !! WOO HOO !!! Glad you enjoyed the video My Friend !! Yeah, I almost didn't want to put the fender flares on, but dang, with that wind, I don't think any fender flare would keep it off of a guy !! ... HAHAHAHAHA !!! I agree, those tracks dug a hole real dang fast in 2WD ... and I'm sure glad they got me out in 4WD, because that would of been a lot digging I would have had to do !!! ...
Thanks for stopp'in in to check out the video David Intulsa, much appreciated !!
Now that is riding I like to do. I am glad the tracks work good for you. Keep the movies coming.
OH YEAH !!! Good stuff right there U.P. Rider !!! The tracks worked AWESOME !!! Glad you enjoyed the video and THANKS for check'in it out too !!
Man those things are awesome. Definitely going to get you into some remote areas.
The new camera is very cool . Nice clear picture from it.
Happy New Year to you and your family. From all of us in the great frozen north.-34 this morning. Burh🤤
YEAH BUDDY !!! And FUN too !! WOO HOO !!! Yes, they'll get me into some remote areas I'm sure, lets just hope ... into deep trouble !! HAHAHAHA !!!
Thanks, I hope to get better results with the new camera as I learn how to use it more. That & take the time needed to set it up correctly ..... WHAT ?? Hey, the snow was calling my name, OK !!! ... HAHAHAHAHA !!!
Glad you enjoyed the video My Friend and Thanks for check'in it out.
Happy New Year to you & your family as well ... -34 ?? DANG !!!! well grab the little woman & snuggle up ... Wink Wink !! ... and stay warm !!!
Ok Gunny, it looked like you were having a little too much fun there! lol How deep is the snow up there now, looks like you were dug all the way down to the dirt in that snow bank, cool you made it out without the need of the shovel. Looks like you should be able to get some cool shots with your new camera too. It has a nice and clear picture. Your beast is looking good with the new tracks. Watch out for Squatch!! WooHoo!
No Way !?!? I was having just about enough fun ... but I could had more I'm sure ... HAHAHAHA !!! The snow is only about 40 inches up there right now. There should be close to 65 or 72 inches this time of the year. Down lower is almost scary to ride across open areas because a lot of stuff can hide under the snow. I was so impressed the new tracks got me out of that hole ... and way happy I didn't have to do any digging either ... HAHAHAHA !!!
The new camera did OK, I just need more time using it.
THANKS, it is a BEAST now !! Watch'in for the Big Hairy Guy all the time Cubbee ... Thanks for reminding me thou ... HAHAHAHA !!!
Glad you enjoyed the video My Friend & THANK YOU for watch'in it !!
Looking good Gunny. It doesn’t sound like you’re machine was working very hard for those conditions. I bet you get the camera angle right next time lol.
Thanks Koberstein Guy ... The machine was working about the same as it did with the Tatou's really. I was running in high gear a lot. However, I also used low a lot to. Still figuring out these tracks & how the bike reacts.
Yeah, I bet I do check the camera angle a lot more often in the future .... sigh ............
Glad you enjoyed the video My Alaskan Friend & Thanks for watch'in too !!
Tracks look like they're working awesome! Too cold for me out there! LOL! Nice with the 3rd person view!
They sure were Rob Farrow Guy ... To cold for you ?? And you live in the Land Of The Great White North ??? DUDE !!! Glad you enjoyed the video and THANKS for check'in it out !!!
GunnyE9 Yes...I'm trapped here! LOL!
HAHAHAHAHA !!!!
Congrats Gunny!
You have a winner there for sure.
Very best to you in 2018!
Cheers, Pete
Why THANK YOU Dark Horse Guy ... and I agree, I LOVE these new Backcountry Tracks !! Glad you enjoyed the video My Friend & THANKS for watch'in !!
Best to you in 2018 as well ... WOO HOO !!!
I think you wider fender flares.The ones you made aren't wide enough. Those tracks are amazing.
I really don't think wider fender flares are going to help .... HAHAHAHAHA !!! I agree, I mean, I was amazed with their performance all day ... & grinning from ear to ear !! YEAH BUDDY !!!
Glad you enjoyed the video B Rich & THANKS for check'in it out too !!
Pretty impressive you were able to back out of that hole you dug yourself! Amazing tracks! Nice video.
Believe me, I thought for sure I would be digging. Glad you enjoyed the video XMARGH Guy ... and THANKS for check'in it out too !!
Gunny, the camera angle can be changed. Not to worried about that. The new tracks allow you to travel into deeper ❄. My concern with the new tracks is the lifting ❄. Are you experiencing more flying snow ? The bike seems to covered in much more powder than in past videos.
Yes, the camera can be ... & will be changed ... HAHAHAHA !!! Lifting more snow ?? Not really. It all depends on the snow, how dry it is, or fluffy & how much the wind is blowing. If you view some of older tracking video's with the Tatou's, I get just as covered in snow. For instance, watch the video LaPlatta To The Drifts 31 Jan 2017 and look at the bike at the 5:09 mark, or the video Another Snowy Windy Ride 07 Mar 2017 at the 4:05 mark ... Snowy !! WOO HOO !! I LOVE the new tracks ... let's hope they don't get me into trouble because they do perform so well !!
Glad you enjoyed the video Matt Guy, and THANKS for check'in it out !!
You got some real nice triangle wheels there Gunny. wow those things look nasty on that bike (...a good nasty that is)
YEAH BUDDY !!! These Apache Backcountry Tracks ARE AWESOME !!! Yes, I agree ... a Good Nasty !!!
Glad you enjoyed the video My Friend and THANKS for check'in it out too !!
ALRIIIIIGHT, it's Gunny Track Season again & he's got new tracks - WHOOOOOOHOOOOO!!!

Happy New Year!!!
WOO HOO !!! ... I NEED MORE SNOW !!! ... HAHAHAHA !!! Hey Q, glad you enjoyed the video. And YUP, I'm lov'in the new tracks !! Who said I had anyone with me ??
Glad you enjoyed the video Q, and THANKS for watch'in !! Happy New Year to you & your family as well !!
Gunny, This just looks like awesome fun, Great infomercial. Video is crisp and tracks are gripping like glue. your machine is Bad to the bone and Sounds good.
OH YEAH !!! WAY AWESOME FUN Liquid Guy !!! Infomercial ... HAHAHAHA !! Hadn't thought of that one. Yup, love these tracks, man they go & go. Thank You for the kind words too. Glad you enjoyed the video My Friend ... And THANKS for watch'in too !!
How do you like the new caterpillars? It seems not bad even enviable! Thank you for the shooting!
Love the New Caterpillars Alex Guy !! Glad you enjoyed the video My Friend and THANKS for tuning in !! HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
Happy Holidays!
Gunny, what model camera do you have thats tracking you? Oh....and another nice video.
Glad you enjoyed the video Newfiestang Guy. I was using a Soloshot 3. They're fairly new & it can be a challenge using one I'm finding.
Ok thought it may have been the Soloshot but figured I would ask. So are you happy with that camera....sounds like its got some bugs to work out.
Am I happy with the camera ?? Yes & not so much. It's not as easy to set up as they advertised, and the setup to get it to track you is a little bit of a pain when you're in 3 or 4 ft of snow. As you saw in this video, the zoom focus is slow. You'll see It's even more so in the next video. Is it from the cold ?? Not sure & haven't received any replies to my question. But when it works, it's pretty cool. I will admit to, I'm still kind of learning how to use it. I just wish the zoom focus was better in the cold.
What's your top speed with the new tracks? Happy New Year!
Ummm ... I'm not sure, since that isn't why I bought tracks. I bought them to go thru the snow ... fast or slow, it's all good to me. I will say thou, at times, I try to go as fast as I can ... WOO HOO !!
Happy New to you as well Michael Tassie Guy !!
I know I get about 25mph out of mine and the RPMs are screaming
I did hit 30mph for a bit on the hardpack before I let of the throttle & I think the bike was turning about 7200 or 7400 something rpms ... about the same as the Tatou's. I mean, I think any bike with tracks going fast is going to be turning some high rpms because no matter how large the drive sprocket is, it's still smaller than stock tires .... WOO HOO !!!
That make all the difference. Do you still have the alluminum skid plates on? Did you gain in speed ? Thanks for sharing and happy new year GunnyE9 guy!
Huge difference My Friend. Nope, took the aluminum skid plates off & made some out of other material the snow won't stick to. I don't think I gained any speed, but I didn't push it real hard to try & see what I could do.
Thanks ... glad you enjoyed the video, Thanks for watch'in & Happy New Year to you as well Yveskc1 !!!
How is your top speed with the backcountry tracks? Also, Are you in High gear all the time?
Top speed without the Backcountry Tracks ?? You mean with tires ?? If so, I've hit 65mph ... and figured that was fast enough.
I usually do ride in high with the tracks. Even the Backcountry Tracks. But with the Backcountry Tracks, I also use low range a lot too. Still figuring out these tracks. Also, I have after market clutches. QSC Rev X primary & an STM Gen II secondary with a 50/40 helix, gold spring, & 3 shims.
Hope you enjoyed the video and THANKS for watch'in Benthepcsurgeon Guy !!!
where was this Gunny? Monte Christo?
Why yes, yes it was Tory ... we need more snow !!! Happy New Year !!!
GunnyE9 yes we do. Happy New year too you too
Thanks ...
Sorry Gunny, that was fat fingers adding their own commentary. Meant to type top speed with the new tracks. Since the hub diameter is larger than your previous version. Seems also you new fabricated genders are working well.
Oh, well, I did hit 30mph on the hardpack once. But I'm not try'in to go real fast with tracks. In the powder, in high ... or was it low ?? I hit 22mph once ... No really. But I did that with the Tatou's too, so ...
Yup, the new fabbed fender extensions did real well. PRAY FOR SNOW DUDE !!!
