    This dude literally saved me and my buddies lives a few years ago. Rescued us from Libby Flatts in a blizzard. Just wanted to say thank you again. You might remember us... the ones that had the deaf couple that we picked up on the way.

    You can also flip the sled on its side, put snow in the hole where the track was and put it back where it was

    Appreciate the tips... A Snobunje is handy to have too, if you ride the deep pow. One trick I use to avoid getting stuck is to stick to 2-strokes!!! LOL

    liked the tips! I am new and riding an old yammy v max she got stuck today 3 times but sailed over some deep shit today I was suprised! 23 years old and I walked it over six feet of fresh powder likes I was rippin an 800 its only 600 cc its a 1994 v max bloody heavy but still had tons of fun on it. Not my favorite first sled due to the fact it handles like garbage but once you get used to it you can still have a blast!

    Nice video with good advice. Just to add, have you ever heard of a Stuckmate? It's a little gadget you fix to your throttle/handle with a seperate trigger at the end of a 6 foot cable. When not overly stuck as you said in your video, it makes it so you can pull your own ski while pressing the throttle. Even with a buddy there, you can each pull a ski while simultaneously squeezing the throttle. Pretty nice gadget.

    Not sure if it would work in mountain deep snow, but here in ontario I got a trackjack.ca last year and it’s a game changer. Helps get the sled up and over onto fresh snow.

    Hi! i have two rather old beasts of snowmobiles. #1 an old 70 harley and #2 an old 88 skidoo. The harley is down for the count for now but i use my skidoo frequently. It's very different from now-a-days lighter yamaha's and others like that. Are there any tips or special things i should know about the older snow machines?

    @RumfordSledhead always be counter steering and leaning prior to feeling yourself slowing down...maybe you will snap a nice powder turn and prevent yourself from digging a hole

  • @jtschid0910
    @jtschid0910 12 лет назад

    @RumfordSledhead Where do you ride, flat land or the alpine? What size sled do you ride? Are you an aggressive rider or do you stick to the trails. I am 16 so it wasn't too long ago that I was your age. I have found that in the very, very few times that the old man does get stuck, don't hesitate to go to the rescue. Then you have something to hold over him.

  • @sdobbs20
    @sdobbs20 12 лет назад

    @RumfordSledhead don't get stuck! when you're 40 years old you won't want to dig someone out either. if you're about to get stuck try and turn out and ge pointed back downhill.

  • @stingley907
    @stingley907 10 лет назад

    Most of the time you can get unstuck with a ski pull and rocking the sled back and worth while applying a lot of throttle can sometimes launch you right out of a stuck. Just put the track back on the snow and your free

Also does anyone know if the new phazer is heavy at the front?
