GM vs Ford: Heavy Duty Truck Showdown - Who Wins?
Such true blue guys, have done so much to push the excitement for the sport! Kudos gentlemen, and great episode BC!
Yamaha is stepping away and they're a very large company. Due to soft sales.
Polaris has a huge mark up. From the employee discount side telling you. Id never pay this stupid money for them. If they all dropped their prices , then their volume of sales would go way up. Greed is killing the industry !!
I am so sick of CF Chopstick. Ban those POS from being imported!!!
136 is long to me lol
Hey guys. Brent asked what’s next for BN and you answered get the whole nation involved. I live in NY and am the trail coordinator for a small club just south of Tug Hill. I love your videos and backcountry riding, but off trail riding is this years number one land owner complaint we have been facing. NY doesn’t have off trail riding. We get permission for trails and not all access to fields with winter crops already seeded. Fans want to ride like you guys and do it where they aren’t supposed to be. Please promote responsible riding to the BN that live where trails are primarily on private property before we don’t have trails at all. Thanks fellas! Ride on.
This was some good back-and-forth conversation about pros and cons of each make/brand. Too bad someone wasn't there to weigh in on the new Arctic Cat model. I'm not a Cat guy, but the new chassis and engine might be a winner. . . . I think something to consider was that you rarely talked about stock machines, especially with the Polaris. I would think most people don't have access to the cash or resources to just mod out a machine to match their heart's desire. Overall, good coverage of the topic though.
Real good pod cast boondocks nation goes hard. You guys should see if muskoka freerider gets on
Awesome pod boys! Jack and Dylan have become friends and I myself have learned a ton from them. Always a good time hanging out year round and yes Jack and Dylan do take a little time to get back to messages but they always make time to do so.
Great video! Good info to take away from this! I have a question on what are good cameras/GoPros to run for cold weather and outdoor terrain
What workout do you guys do to improve cardio for riding?
Great podcast..very helpful
I feel like you all cater to the boondocking high country riding and never to the trails..
Brand New Yamaha SX Viper ER back in 2004 was $8,249.00 that IMO was the best sled made. Under $10K and used they still sell for good money. How about the manufactures get back to this pricing? People would be more eager to get out and buy a new sled.
When Arctic cat Came back in 82 It was 1 Sledd model Eltegre And former engineers And Roger Skime Financed Their Farms Homes and Former Executives Came on board and built it backup Dave Thomas, larry colten and Other Former Racers even Suzuki wanted in they built the Sledd and Tested it off season in Yellow stone Dave Thomson and Larry Colten were 2 Of the legendary 3 tough cats of 1970 and the Sledd took off but get this It wasnt even a trailing arm Suspension it was the older style Leaf spring frontend but everybody Wanted them to Suceed then after that the Lynx came out same thing but 1984 Dave thompson Designed the Independent front end Along With Skipe
I honestly prefer the 9r. I'm a huge 2 stroke guy and love hearing the pipe when I'm ripping wide open and the boost just doesn't sound quite right to me. And even though it has less power I feel like I'm hauling ass having it wide open more often than I would with the boost.
An updated better looking firecat is the route I’d take
My new doo 165 turbo lasted 42 Miles before it started running like crap, dealer hasn't figured it out. They called today and are giving me another new machine.
Cutting edge is no good when the snowmobile is $12,000 or higher. You also need dealerships. Artic Cat had no dealerships.
Great video guys. 110% truth on learning to ride. Was out last weekend. Spent almost the entire time in the meadow and on very small side hills. I was so played out learning all the basics. Keep pumping out the content.
Thanks for the helpful tips.
Aj on your tempest goggles what lenses are you running. I have photo chromatic and I feel on socked in days they don’t seem clear enough. Maybe it’s just me
Practice, commitment, practice commitment….
A bunch of lip flappers.
I generally have a hard time finding advanced riders to ride with. I'm usually the one climbing hills and side hilling. So that means they just watch while I attack a steep hill. So I have a hard time advancing, but I'm slowly getting better. I have a turbo sled and really only use half throttle because if I run full throttle all day I get tired.
Nor Cal finally getting snow for a week starting Thursday. It’s been a month.
What do you think of the skidoo now, surely you have been out on it few times now?
Lets talk Thumb throttle vs Finger throttle. Also preference on Brake position.
I switched to a finger throttle. It definitely helped my riding because I wasn’t trying to find the throttle
I'm nowhere near learning to bowtie. I figured that before I attempt that, I need to learn to control a wheelie. When I can control one and hold one (in a meadow)... then up a hill, THEN I can try a bowtie and be in a better position to control it OR be ready to bail instead of being mousetrapped. My big issue is my legs and knees aren't strong, so the wrong foot forward thing is gonna be a problem for me. I bought an exercise bike, so hopefully that'll help. Not this season, but maybe next season I'll come out and ride with you. That'd be cool. BTW how cold is it there when you're riding? Gotta plan ahead for my gear. It's a LOT warmer here around Tahoe.
Avoid trying to learn in hard crust iced snow?
Ideally yes but if that’s all there is that day you can still work on these tips!
Cfm moto has been decent machines, I had one, and are in bed with ktm, so wouldn't surprise me that cfm bought artic cat.
I've been using the carbon sled p22 fix, so far so good. Haven't had a stock bolt break either on my boost but the intention is to avoid possible back country break downs. Getting warranty has been shit from Polaris , love the sled but warranty sucks
CF Moto?? Hell nah!!!
The reason working people can’t afford new sleds! We have not got a raise in wages since Reagan! Other than cost of living raises.
Too expensive, side by sides are the market focus. over 20 grand for a machine you hardly get to ride unless you're going to haul them to the rockies.
Show videos of you testing!!
I'm not brand loyal, been riding since 1990. 10 new polaris, 4 ski doo 5 yamaha. 3 cats. I've never had a major failure. I watch all these young guys get a new machine and go hold it wide open in 3 feet of powder with 3 miles on the machine. YOU CAN'T DO THAT!! I build engines all the time for many different machines. The first 2 hrs are critical for break in. At least give it a easy 1 hr and 25 miles. Many of these issues could be avoided.
Marcus is the only one that I saw do a real hop over! I thought you guys claimed you could all do hop overs??? All I see is a bunch of re-entry’s….step it up boys!!!!!
Thank you for watching but if you’re referring to our podcast I said that’s one of my goals is to start getting clean hop overs for this winter. It’s definitely not a tool in my belt yet.
America! Polaris.
Thanks for watching 🇺🇸
so curious to here your thoughts on adding a post forward "laydown style" steering post to the polaris i know you guys ride both machines and switch back and forth. i came from doo and got a poo this year and I like the sled but feel out of "range" with the steering. The position of the arms and shoulders and uper body looks so much more natural and egonomic when watching the rider on the doo.
We have never rode the laydown style post in the Polaris we definitely can hop around just takes some time to adjust the different style. I’d say the biggest thing that helps is knowing when on a skidoo you steer it with your arms and on a Polaris you steer with your feet a lot less input.
@ appreciate the response thanks
Polaris always been junk, I remember ridden a sportsman in 2009 then a outlander. It was like night and day the can am was amazing the Polaris felt like a junk box
My 2007 firecat f7 snow pro fox shocks 9000 what the hell happened 20,000 that's completely ridiculous shame on the industry for robbery of blue collar people 😢😢
My god is remember buying my 1998 zrt 800 leftover for like 6500
I wish I had your guys' stamina. Just trying to do a bowtie (if I even knew the technique) would likely wear me out.
Just one failed hopover attempt and I need to shut the sled off and rest, and that is at 6500ft. Pretty sure these guys ride a lot higher.
Haha don’t worry we still have our moments of struggle!! We ride 8k to 10k we might get in better shape through winter but breaks definitely still needed haha
Awesome video. Love the flag !
It's on the Canadian machine though
Thank you! Though it would be a nice touch!!
1000 xp turbo lol. You don’t even know what you bought. It’s a pro XP made for trail riding and the Pro R is a performance machine. I don’t think you researched your machines at all.
Have you guys rode a 9r 146 yet? If so what’s your opinion?
protectionism is a real sexy idea, until you realize that North America really only has "assembly plants". At the end of the day China makes almost every single product associated with American life, also China supplies all the factories with the parts that they assemble. Protectionism would have worked 20 + years ago, but there is just far too much reliance on china to try it now.
I've serviced CF Moto and they are horribly built. Impossible to service, oil drains, fuses inaccessible, wiring rats nest etc. JUNK
When you guys decide to come check out the UP, let me know, 146 territory here
