  • This was a super fun day out with Isaac Kesterke and Chase Yach. I talk about the differences between a 146 track and a 155 track and explain which one is better for what situations.
    Thanks for watching!

    Nice to see the breakdown between these 2 sleds that you did. That Muskoka kid tho, he has definitley shown us these past couple of years what a 146 NA Doo can do (when in qualified hands). This past winter saw him putting that 146 against a 165 Boost being ridden by that Dawson kid. Very compatible riders.

    Good video. The summary at the end was really the essence of it. Deeper and steeper means more and more track is wanted.
    It's also important to mention rider weight. Ladies and teens down closer to 125 pounds don't need nearly the same level of flotation as the big 200 pound dudes.

    It’s nice to see the different riding styles between Caleb and Chase. Caleb seems to muscle the sled where he wants it and Chase let’s the sled do the work and reacts to the sled more. Both get the job done in style just an observation I made while watching.

    Not even a comparison. If you want a playful sled that is harder to ride and wont go through deep pow as good get a 146. If you want a easier sled to ride and play in the trees easier and ride deeper pow get a 154 or 165. More track more flotation which means less getting stuck.
