This looks like so much fun! I've been enjoying the cheap sled content so much! This era of snowmobiles has a special spot in my heart. I really hope this is something you guys do every winter.
Turns out, snowmobiles are fun in the winter. Can’t wait to see you guys again next year. Might even enter the race. Gonna have to do some damn sit-ups though…
So great having the sled content added to the channel. Perfect thing to have going on in the winter when SxS riding kinda slows here in Michigan until the trails close for the sleds April 1st.
I love this type of content. Just having fun, racing, crashing (within reason), good video pace. Awesome job. That double thumb fist pump needs to be in the next merch drop.
I love the sxs stuff but I hope you guys keep branching out, do this in summer with quads or dirt bikes, just get into all off road toys. Variety is nice
@@dunkboy96 dont expect them too be good at it, but The process of watching them learn and get good enough to drag race or do lap battles one at a time in the yard would be entertaining, obviously dont want anyone to get hurt, but would still be entertaining, no different than watching sous go from never touched a snowmobile but now did a competitive event on one
So glad i got to meet you guys and experience this in person, also grab a limited edition sweatshirt! In person these guys are just as cool as we see in the vids!
You guys were great! So glad you came out. Let’s build some sleds that are dialed for next year! Thank you for all the positive energy and personalities. See you next year!!! J2
So we’ll see some snowmobile racing training videos soon? Hahaha. If we ever get some snow, would be cool to see legit track with berms at the Blog compound.
You guys just look like you had so much fun. that is all that mattes. Thanks for posting this content in the winter. Now go put some tracks on your SXS and get cranking on some AWESOME trails.
Great vid! .... you guys need major endurance training... I"m going out west skiing this weekend and I've been training for 2 months to get my endurance up.... thanks again for the vid!
Awesome video as usual. I’m glad you guys are having more and more interest in snowmobiles and you guys need this, I Need this lol I use to race snowmobiles snocross and cross country races but I’m more into drag racing now. But as always Exciting show again! Thanks guys keep it up. 👍
Definitely getting me a greaser. Gotta do this race for sure. It looked like a great time. Matt's 440 tuned right would be great for this kinda of thing.
I had a 95 XCR440SP twin S.L.P. pipe's, and head's, that would've been the perfect 🥰 machine for this type of event, and track style! I had a red hood from I think a 94 XCR440. I still have a nice 95 Skidoo MXZ583, that would be a solid choice also!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
The triple xc has 38 mm round slide carbs and they were quite tiring after a few miles but you need to be a long time snowmobiler for your thumb to grow.
@@dougbutterfield5505 yes this means I can plan on attending next year. Me and my son would love to meet you guys. I’m Trigg Sellers patreon member. Blog is my favorite content period.
I was looking forward to watching you guys race and you did not disappoint. Great series of videos guys. I feel like this was just a bunch of average Joe's give it hell out there. Keep them coming guys. I am a paraplegic snowmobiler here in the great state of Maine and I love watching some of this stuff I can no longer do. I wish you guys lived closer I have an 07 Yamaha Attak (Apex) that needs some suspension setup work and I have no idea how to do it.
I'm a disabled person who loves sledding also! I was hurt in 2003, and started sledding in 1978, riding hard since 1986ish, if I can help in ANY way, feel free to type me!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
@@billallen4793 I bought my first sled when I was about 51. I am 55 now. I have ridden way in the past on friends' sleds but that was it. I do have a Yamaha Attak 137" track. It is pretty much a Yamaha Apex. Do you have any suggestions on how to tune up the suspension a bit? I like the power and sound of the sled I am just wondering If I should save up and trade it in towards a Yamaha Viper or sidewinder or some of the Artic Cats with the same Yamaha motor, or should I just keep my sled and try and get the suspension dialed in a bit.
@mainenorthwoodshunter3265 what is your sled doing, and what do you want it to do? Welcome to the sledhead world! It's NEVER too late to enjoy new thing's! I find the beauty that snowmobiling provides unmatched to other season's. And riding in an area where the clouds covered up the barbwire and make it 2" thick from the frost accumulation! Let me know what you want the sled to do, and I'll help if I can. I have some tips and tricks to keep your legs 🦵 on the running board's, if that's ever been a problem!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
@@billallen4793 My sled has the original skiis on it and it darts a bit still. I did just put new 6" carbides (woody's Mavericks) My brother and I have been slowly decreasing the spring pressure on the front shocks and that has lightened up the steering a little but the shocks are nothing special. This is the Yamaha Attak. I think they put better-quality shocks on the Apex. I honestly do not know much about adjusting the rear suspension and I am sure that would help a bit as well. I just am not sure if all the adjustments will make the sled handle the way I would like or not. My brother had an Apex GT that seemed to ride like a dream. I had an 08 and someone tried to make that a deep snow sled so that was not set up well at all. Both of those sleds were 121" tracks. I got the 137" with my Attak thinking that it would ride better. I am sure it can with the right person setting it up. I don't have a ton of $ as you may know with the sleds I am buying. I can't afford the $20K sleds
@mainenorthwoodshunter3265 check your ski alignment and make sure that it's set correctly to manufacturer specs! If you loosen the limiter strap it will take some pressure off your ski's while excellerating. Try changing your preload on the front shocks, go up, or down, and see if there's any change! Those 4stroke Yami's are kinda heavy on the ski's, compared to a 2stroke sled. 4strokes just weigh more, and over the ski's is the worst place for extra weight! There must be some Yami group's with content about setting one up to handle the trails. As a mtn rider I can tell you that a good machine on the trails, with be junk in the powder. And a great powder/hill killer will be terrible on the trail. The crossover type machine aren't great at any 1 thing. But are OK at everything! I hope this makes sense!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
Definitely considering taking my arctic cat prowler 440 out there for the fuck of it next year and race with you guys! That looks like a blast except getting wore out by lap 5 lol
Awesome video appreciate you guys!!!! The problem with Leo’s throttle being like that is it can hold the throttle wot if u crash!!!! The tether did it’s job!
I grew up on sleds and dirtbikes, and seeing more content geared towards “anything with and engine” is badass and I love it! Hate seeing people leave the group but I’ll always watch!
Riding sleds hard is one of the gnarliest workouts!! Especially throwing them around in deep powder. I thought I was in decent shape until I had my first day in the powder 🤣 ...all the BURGS caught up with you boys! 🤣🤣 great effort though for sure !!
me and my buddies are an hour and a half south of there. Next year we shall compete. One a former mx guy,one a former snowcross guy,and me an overweight 43 year old who just likes to go fast! It shall be epic!
Looks fun. How do I have 200,000 miles on 1000+cc Yamaha motorcycles and have never tried one of these? Wait, I just remembered I moved from Michigan to SoCal when I was 11 months old. Could be why.
I'd say you missed out but what do I know...I'm sure SoCal had it's advantages too. I will say that I'm forever grateful that I grew up in northern Michigan and my dad always had snowmobiles. Some of my best memories involve sleds like these in the 90s. I got into motorcycles in my 20s and I love them too but snowmobiles are a unique kind of fun that you can only know if you've spent a bunch of time on them. I love them.
Dang! I'm an easy 30 minutes from ERX. Wish I would have know you guys were there. Would have loved to meet you dudes. Great last couple of videos. Looked like a blast!
This is definitely something I think Frank should have shown up for without a doubt
He's not there so get over it.
Priorities is where he's at .
Rip. Frankie would have made it a whole different video and whooped them all haha. Hopefully after he gets caught up he can hit the races more
Leo is the blogs version of ken from cboystv
100%
Getting it done with other guys old worn out stuff 😎

FYI, they also have a couple huge dirt tracks too for SXSs. You should come over more often!
Been following you guys since Doug's garage. Keep up the good content, you guys have been my favorite channel since the first episode I watched.
I was off an on until mud life showed up...but back tracked....all the videos I only thumbs down 3 of them ....bad vibes here lately n it sucks

Don't forget jet ski's and wave runners
I mean in all honesty I don’t think anyone of them can hop on a bike and do a moto at a track lol
Have to bring frank back for that one!!

"turned out we were taking the same lines, they were just twice as fast"! Funniest thing I've heard in a while lol
I love leo, great commentary, great storyteller
So glad i got to meet you guys and experience this in person, also grab a limited edition sweatshirt! In person these guys are just as cool as we see in the vids!
Awesome!! Heads up crazy racing!!
I'm liking how you guys are changing it up, I'm a socal guy and if we had snow here you can bet I would have a snowmobile.
Leo getting humbled.....priceless
Hard to get humbled going to an event with the expectation of getting beat badly
Thumbs up fist bump!!!! 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸. Totally doing that all the time now!!!
Douglas is a freaking Savage!
Love the content. Been following since the sled challenge. Keep it up!
Love it Ditch banger racing so cool WTG guys. 🙂
In the past off seasons it was weight loss challenges, happy it's going to be getting in shape for ditch bangers instead.
What a great time, ty!!
Bog lyfe. So awesome fellas 🙌🏻
The winter snowmobile stuff is just the best. I know exactly what you guys feel out there hahaha. Love it. Love it.
Watching this for a second time. Can't get enough!
Doug was so freakin happy. Lol. You all did awesome! Great job!
One of the best times I’ve had in awhile!
Great job guys! Glad doug got out there!
This was so bass, please definitely do this again.
As a guy who watched the redemption VHS dirt bike videos 1000 times I love seeing street bike Tommy “ it’s better than drywall”
You guys were great! So glad you came out. Let’s build some sleds that are dialed for next year! Thank you for all the positive energy and personalities. See you next year!!! J2
You put on a kick ass event, happy you invited the boys
ya guys did it and had great time doing it.
So we’ll see some snowmobile racing training videos soon? Hahaha. If we ever get some snow, would be cool to see legit track with berms at the Blog compound.
This is why Doug is a true driver snowmobiles to jp the mans a driver
Sous needs a shirt made. "Athlete of the Working Man!!!" Love the vids keep up the great work.
Awesome Racing and it doesn't break the bank...
You guys did awesome!

Andrew Carlson is a stand up dude . Welcome to Minnesota . Yep build some sleds and we'll see you next year
I might do this next year.
You guys are the best keep up with the great videos god bless all you

I don't give a shit if you race tillers. Love the videos. Bring back the popcorn machine 🤣😀🤣
Like 10 to 15 yrs ago I did a vintage oval race on a 79 Kawasaki leaf Springer in Manitowoc WI. What a blast it was!!!!
Love these videos guys!
I’m definitely gonna go to this race next year. Just have to decide which my sleds I want to take.
That was some insane racing. Looked like it was a blast. Can't wait to see what Doug can do next year. I got a feeling he caught the itch.
Plans for the ditchbanger build(s) are already underway lol

Racing yeah!
So entertaining to see this! Nice job boys!
Great content once again keep the sleds coming

👍🤜🤛 thumbs up fist bump for the @sxsblog boys
I have the same fxr Gear as Doug ..... awesome video boys
Sous is carrying the team
A little tip on the carb slide it does come apart and add marine grease. It works wonders
SXSBlog y'all rock! Peace
I find I'm really starting to like old Sous, he's funny as hell and says it like it is. I could hang out with you dude!
That looked crazy as hell must of been a blast

what coat is sous wearin i need one
That was awesome I wasn't too go next year.......
cool fun

Great last couple of videos. Looked like a blast!
Come back in summer- bring sxs ! ERX is the best. Hundreds of acres of trails
This was awesome. You guys need to build a ditch banger over the summer to get it ready for this event next year.
Pushing on those three 38mm round slides back in the day sucked. Was so happy when the three flat slides came out.
The 99-02 SkiDoo MXZX's I see out there have a huge advantage. They were great sleds for SnoX.
Loved watched the ZR smoke that polaris 🤘
😈😈😈 what the hell man . I thought this was friendly racing ... havent watched the video ,, but dug and a race taking things very seriously 😈😈😈😈😈
Leos song at 9:50 😂
Awesome videos guys !! All the ditchbanger videos are so much fun to watch!
