Never seen good ole muskoka free rider? That’s a normal every other day for his groups, he’s takes a group of 11 through creeks up drainages like that. With his mid 60 year old dad👍👍
13:45 You can never really tell how steep it is, but the trees give a pretty accurate indication. I think most people would find it nearly impossible to hike straight up that in the summer.
Loved the exploring episode!! Need more of them. It would be cool to show your planned exploration route then follow through with it and capture it on video!
Ha ha. In this case planned vs. actual was very difficult when we could not find where we really wanted to be. We had planned to go to this steep slope int he trees with lots of big fallen logs and obstacles but we had not previously marked its location. Perhaps we will find it again tomorrow? :)
I've watched most of your videos and I think I enjoyed this one the most! 11 minutes in had my saying 'oh fuck oh fuck!' in my head each creek crossing! Got me excited for snowbike season!!
That my friend was some pretty sketchy riding in the back woods!
Best video you guys have done ever haha
Great video. Its like along with the track and ski for the pow we need turbos. These bikes and mine are just slow asf in snow. Regardless video is perfect. Thanks
That looks awesome.
Yeti skis blow in the spring and crusty snow you guys need to test out some CMX products they are a tiny company in Montana they make some killer stuff
We would love to. They are on the list for next year!
wow!!, i think you guys are better riders than you give yourselves credit for
You guys need green or orange on the front fender so we can tell your vids apart😁😁😁
Red
Ah, there is a secret way to tell. Scott (orange) has red tape on the top of his GPS holder, Andrew does not.
haha omg at 11:00 you start beast mode
Damn! So many times I was sure you had no where to go, just a dead end of trees you couldn’t make it through. And you just kept going! Maybe it’s just the view the camera provides, but I just don’t think I go through stuff like that on my snowbike. Maybe I do and don’t realize it because my eyes have a better view than the camera provides maybe.
Thanks for the comment! I feel like we have rounded a corner in what we are able to ride. We don't get as sketched out when things get tight.
That looked like tough slugging
行くしかないな。
Great video guys just wondering what kind of GoPro you guys are using and what kind of chin mounts you found the best
We currently have Hero 7 Black on Dango chin mounts. Solid set-up but I plan to try the DJI action camera the next time they offer something new.
What are you doing to your front end suspension? Are you all stock on the front forks? Ever tried just adding some air to the stock Husq shocks? If you do run the stock air shocks have you ever blown the seals?
Stiffer springs. Adding air is good as well. No troubles yet, on any of our bikes (current or historic).
You guys are going to break an A-arm riding in these conditions
Yes, if we were on snowmobiles we would have broken several already this year!
What does the front brake do with a ski on it?
Front brake is gone. Hand brake is for the rear. :)
How many running hours you have per snow season? And how regularly do you check your engine after running in snow? Once a season? Once per 2 seasons? Thank you.
I don't know how many hours of engine time each season. Andrew could likely answer that one. I do know that we go oil changes every 6 rides.
@@VernonSnowMX 6...wow, we normally change it every 3-4 rides. Interesting.
What is the gauge mounted on the handlebar clamp closest to you?
I thin k you are referring to our temp gauges?
@@VernonSnowMX yeah, trail tech? Direct bolt-in?
@@apexofmadness3666 You betcha. www.thesnowbikeshop.com/shop/just-the-basics/trail-tech-tto-digital-temperature-gauge/
What GPS do you guys have/recommend?
We use Garmin 610s but we are rarely happy with them. On this ride the North direction would spin every time we stopped as the internal compass is weak. We have had battery and screen problems in the past. Nobody seems to make a better unit though, at least not anything that we have found.
another bomber video
Where is this?
We are riding in the North Okanagan of BC in the Mable Lake area. We have about 15 riding areas within 2 hours - it's BOMBER here!
