- Finally got to ride with the group of arctic cats we know. Always nice to be out there with a big group. Nearly had a head on collision with a rider who was on my side of the trail.
11:52 for the near miss
Great video to pop-up on my Friday night youtube feed. Keep it up. Thanks. Minnesota has not been blessed with too much snow,,,, we need some more.
Will Foster hope you guys get some snow soon! Glad you like the videos I appreciate the kind words
Finally old forge has been blessed with some snow! I'm going tomorrow for the first time this season, heard it's going to be extremely cold but gotta enjoy it while it's here. And of course great video.
Rekted M8 nice enjoy the trails should be great! Thanks glad you enjoyed!
Love your videos man! I am new to sledding and believe it or not I actually learn quite a bit from watching you guys ride. Keep it up! Thank you.
linkrm75 that's awesome to hear thanks! A lot of its learn as you go but we've been riding since 2000 so if there a problem we've pretty much dealt with it at this point haha.
with all that room, id have a cooler of beer strapped on the back.........
Man I miss back home where a trail permit was unheard of and the trails have jumps everywhere and backcountry was around every corner.. there was no speed limits or signs set up and trails would not be groomed, that kind of ruins the trail in my opinion and the plows and huge snowblower would get stuck trying to clear snow on the roads :( seems like a dream when I think back about it.
Just wanted to say we knew the cat had some oil we just couldnt tell how much because of the non clear oil tank... We used a dip stick type method to help make sure there was some but it was hard to know how much. Hope everyone enjoys the vlog!
i have had multiple close calls like like in my years of riding. Stay safe gonna be a busy weekend on the hill and in old forge
you have enough snow now , hope you have a hell of a good season
Jason Mac thanks! Apparently they got a couple feet this week can't wait to get back up there. Enjoy your season as well!
Holy shit you riding near old forge? And big moose I live near there ride them trails every year
Snow_Rider that's awesome! Yeah I love old forge very few other places like it out there.
Revrider550 if you ever get a chance check out boonville and forestport area
It is crazy how people ride now even when kids are on the back... but I loved the vid one of my favorite channels!!!
Corban Gillen so true.... if you're going to have kids riding with you you should be going out of your way to make sure they're riding safe. Wow thats you so much that's awesome to hear!
Is that inlet/old forge New York trails
brandon johnson yes it is good eye
Revrider550 I live like 25 minuets from there
I've had the ZR6000RR 2015. You cannot physically ride enough miles in one day to run it out of oil as long as it's full when you take off. I'm not bragging it up for that it's just a fact. Sips oil, nice machine & great 600 engine! Not great top end but very fun to ride.
Nice! too bad i don't live closer, i would join you guys with my 98 Thundercat! You just earned yourself a new sub!
ah man those were the ULTAMATE sledds back in the day i met a guy who weighed the same as me 160 and as tall 5.6 who had one of those with nitrous and many many chisels in the track on ice in rangely maine going up against a polaris 800 xcr he killed him i remember feeling the vibes under the ice before i saw them that fast scary fast ya that was the sledd found out he lived 4 miles from me went to his house pics everywhere of different sledds and trophys
When the oil light flickers that means u have 1 quart left
When you gonna get a can for that bad boy, sounds like its breathing through a straw! XD. Sled looks bad ass tho
xXOctavianXx I had a sno stuff can on my 08 tnt and loved it but the cops wrecked it for me. I'm still thinking about it but I may or may not buy a race sled next year and buy a sick exhuast for that. Make it a once and a while type sled to keep the fans happy and just rip on.
2000 year cats and 1999 had casting issues with the clutch and they developed cracks in the housings from the foundry and after awhile boom they blew apart big recall mine was a 1998 zl-500 ran flawless guys on the trail thought i didnot know and looked mine over ardticcat said dont ride till dealer sees it
sheddski oh wow that's crazy. I had never heard that before but totally makes sense now with what happened to it.
While trail riding you should never cut your turn like that dude with the kid ...
Y not carry some w
Oil with you
Dont understand how ppl think trail is fun? Have you ever tried in the mountains?
I have a cabin in the Koa this is cool to see a UA-camr in old forge
wheres the music ??
sheddski sorry I don't totally understand the question. Are you curious what the song is?
i thought the music in the background was cool not exactly elevator music which bored everybody but gave the ride some cool vibes keep it up i don,t know the group i,m more of a 60s70s guy??
Sick sled man!! Love the orange! Where do you get your music for your videos?
Devin Hess I mostly just search copyright free music here on and there s a few different pages. I don't have a set source really I kinda just search it and see what sounds good and go from there.
Nice! Yeah Im always looking for good decent music. Hard to find. Always just end up using youtube audio library
Wish trail 5 was that smooth all the time
That exact thing happened to my dad last year. A guy had one kid in front and one kid behind him on the sled. Luckily my dad swerved far enough over so he didn't get the idiot.
Sean Higgins it's insanely unsafe. Thank God I had studs and was able to slow down enough to avoid him. If you notice at first their skis are turning towards me before they ever even tried to turn away.
Revrider550 - Yeah it's unbelievable how stupid and inconsiderate people are on the trails. I think we all should be required, like ATV's, to take a safety course so hopefully *everyone* would know how to ride right on the trail. But I see that a drivers test doesn't prove someone to be a good driver either haha.
back in 1984 i had a very mint 1980 yamaha 440 SRX went off a 8ft drop straight down looked like i hit a wall gave up sledds til 1997 goes to show you acidents happen
Where abouts were you on tug? Up there today and thought I saw your sled
Motorhead 180 when we're on tug were around Braningham because we ride over from old forge. Unfortunately probably wasn't me haven't ridden since last week
Dude that almost hit you was doing the same thing your dad was after he passed you at the beginning....taking the inside line on a left turn.
Frosty I fully agree my dad was being a fool in the begining. It is a huge straight away so you can see down the trail a bit but I still completely disagree with my dad doing that. He's letting being on a new sled get the best of him and ignoring common sense.
When was this video shot I herd they got 28 inches of snow don’t look it in the video
George Palmer this was Sunday so 12-24 they got most of their snow in the following days they have a solid amount now
Volume Up @ 3:54 😍
Plus how do those kids have newer XRS's?
Sean Higgins don’t know if they are kids for sure plenty of old dudes like cans and going fast. If they are young guys not impossible to swing a newer sled. Just sign on the dotted line.
Nick Boisclair they were kids but there a lot of money in old forge and a lot of parents willing to buy sleds like that for their kids. They may have bought them on their own but who knows. Still sounded sweet tho lol not my taste but got my attention
Rich parents
Nick Boisclair - That's true.
Revrider550 - I've never been but from your riding videos I'm only seeing new sleds.
Not impressed with Articat I won’t back to Ski-Doo bought a Bcx 850
cats still suck ? i thought they cleaned up their act
sheddski cat has never sucked
cats go because its all in clutching compare cat to yamaha same engine different clutch setup and cats are the one to buy
my both 1998 and 2002 zl-500 were fast too blew away skidoo mxz -500 but the Polaris built not Fuji built 500 was a exact match off the line against the Suzuki built cat motor skidoo had to moveup to the 600 motor to keep up not bashing skidoo they knew it too Yamaha back then was too tame to
i like your sleds
I need to get up to tug hill riding. You could always top the oil off every time you ride that's what I do
big murph been getting tons of snow up there i hear conditons are awesome. We will for sure going forward. This was only our second ride with it so we had planned to buy oil during the ride but the dealer was unfortunately closed.
Revrider550 you should buy 2 stroke oil buy the case that's what I do that way I always have it on hand. What type of oil do you run I use amsoil in my etec
big murph that's the issue we normally run Amsoil but alot of the forums say cat has a very specific oil you're supposed to run in them. Some sort of ctec 2 synthetic. So we had planned to pick some up at the dealer during our ride but it was closed.
Revrider550 I look it up on amsoil web site since I am a dealer. Says u can use the interceptor oil.
big murph oh awesome. I might end up doing that it's way easier for me to get a hold of Amsoil than it is the cat oil
how old is youre dad ?
sheddski he's 55
ok im 62 myself no kids ??
What helmet are u running
Revrider550 how is it in cold weather
Why does this always pop up on my subscription even tho I'm not subscribed
I am still pissed off about that a-hole that came head-on at you. Three up on a 1 man seld to boot. That's what's makes it so dangerous to ride aggressively at all. Idoits everywhere. If you were going 5 or 10 MPH faster you wouldn't have been able to avoid him and you wouldn't have been doing anything wrong. Ride safe. It was absolutely freezing the days I was up there 26th-28th. -21 on Thursday morning. Tons of snow though, but not enough grooming.
paisteboy I appreciate it it was definitely ridiculous. No one should put their kids in danger like that. Thankfully I had studs so I was able to slow down enough. If you notice in the beginning his skis are pointed in my direction so they were trying to come even farther to the wrong side of the trail. Hopefully you got some good footage still. A BAD day on the trails still beats a day on the couch imo
I wonder if the little kid in front was steering? I've really started to be a defensive rider because of people like that. Takes the fun out of riding when you're in fear even though you know you're riding safely.
I didn't get as much footage as I would have liked on this past trip. I recorded some on day 1 & 2 with the GoPro and just handheld on Day 3, but the handheld had riding footage as well. There was just too much snow dust from the 2-1/2 feet of powder that they got. Unless you were leading you could hardly see. I didn't even end up getting any front or rear bumper view footage this time. The extreme cold really put a damper on us this trip. The season is young though!
I'm editing a video right now from the last ride and noticed passing a ski-doo riding 3 up and had to go back and look to see if it was the same clown that almost hit you. Different sled and they were on the correct side of the trail.
paisteboy haha at least they knew the basics of snowmobiling. Still crazy people put that many people on a sled. Hopefully this person learned their lesson. I try not to get heated while on trail but this time I couldn't help myself.
i was up in maine back in 1997 below zero temps so we ended up in a bar restaurant and a girl came in speechless trying to get the words out of what she saw her husband stayed behind untill help came 2 sledders went headon at 60 plus mph on the jackman trail they called the sherif he was allready gone to the scene next day found out no servivers what a shame and it was at a corner too
