    I remember being there when I was young. Watching this is one of my best childhood memories. I can't believe how everything has changed, unfortunately not for the good. Back in the God old day
    S of the 90s. Now my generation is house pore and barely making it. Yay, at least I watched others enjoy them self. Thanks for posting this it was nice to remember my childhood

    Some of the best sleds ever made and probably the best time period for snowmobiling. I remember traveling my state to different events all winter long back then. Constantly something going on from radar runs, poker runs, amateur snocross events and hill climbs.
    I still have a couple of trophies kicking around for the under 18 class of amateur snocross events that my local snowmobile club put on back in the late 90's early 2000's.

    The good ol days
    I noticed that people were genuinely happy that the snowmobiles didn’t crash and burn.
    I was pointing out to my boy that no one was on a phone or worrying about the phone because no one had one. Lots of smiles.
    Times are different

    We had a 98 powder extreme 600 bored to 700 growing up and dad had the 96 thundercat bored to 1107. The old man passed away and his sled sat for about 12 years. Gettin the old triple running again, I'm excited to hear those stingers. Great vid bud, thanks for sharing. Love watching the old iron on the hill.

    Back when sleds we're comfy affordable, reliable, fixable and fun for the whole family ! 20k
    And the people were class act !
    Now....in 2021.....
    Sleds are 15k-20k ea.
    Gas 4$-5$ a gallon
    Oil 40$ a gallon or more
    And, you need a $90hr for a mechanic with pc to diagnose or repair the new style computer, turbo, ecu flapper turbine power-core illudium flash drive from Taiwan 😤
    & The sleds look radicalized & weigh a 700#.... like the riders !

      not sure if you guys cares but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother during the lockdown xD

    Nice to see some mods there, longer tracks than original and even the lugs I think. Although still pretty short tracks compared to modern RMKs etc.

    I like hill climbs that at least you have a chance of reaching the top and best time wins, those climbs that you sit and watch for an hour and not one sled makes it to the top are ridiculous….

      Different culture back then. Most worked hard and played harder on the weekends. Today's generation wants everything handed too them and loves playing the victim card.
