I am not falling for this again. I bought "Air Jordans" in the 90's and I still can't dunk. You are a gifted athlete, no matter what shoes or sled that you're sporting. Thank you, especially like watching you move through terrain.
Caleb, I've been following you for years before you got on Polaris. You've progressed the entire industry not with just your riding but your mindset. Where others have had a scarcity mindset, you have a "tide lifts all boats" mindset and that's exactly what we needed. This video is ridiculous btw
Man I hope it keeps storming like it looks like it might for the next two weeks till I get there to Seeley!! Pumped for a couple days of riding after seeing snow conditions like this
I have an alpha 146 and love it! However I am considering the polaris 9r 146. If you have a moment to give your insight/comparison on the two sleds I'd love to hear it. I love how easy my Alpha is to lean over etc. great video and amazing skills!
sick vib man. You know how to send it. Im heading to seeley in about a week and a half. Never rode there. where is that parking lot located? We will be having 2 big enclosed trailers. looks like a good place to park.
It’s amazing just what having someone watch you ride can do. You can’t watch yourself so it’s hard to improve if you don’t have someone there to critique you.
Curious what happened to the sled at 5:06. Sounds like you hit the dragon button! Love the content I always learn something from each of your videos. Keep it up!
Hey Caleb, you should do a vid on turbo vs non turbo sleds. I see in 90+% of your vids you run a non-turbo sled so I’d be intrigued to see your input on both. Personally, this is my first year on a turbo sled (after riding a couple turbski sleds here and there over the years) and personally find they’re a cheat code in a lot of aspects, but the downside is they are HEAVY and they also don’t let you fine tune your abilities…rather, personally, I can see how they can be a detriment in several aspects because the turbo can act as a crutch so you rely on that brute HP rather than finding lines and techniques to get you through technical terrain. That’s my take anyways. I sure do love that psssphhhssssphsssshhh
Great comment! But as far as weight goes, the turbo doesn't weigh much more than the gigantic factory exhaust suitcase! In some case's I'd bet they weigh less! The cheat code is almost any late-model sled! The machine's are so far ahead of 90% of the rider's abilities! I started riding sleds heavy in the mid 80's, riding three old 433cc Yami's white and red. Then some early to mid 80's machine's, until I got my first new sled. It was a 90's Polaris XLT580sp-S.K.S.136x2, then I went crazy with S.L.P. part's under the hood. That was a good little machine and that feeble 136 was a LONG-track..lmao Afrer that I went to mod sleds that would be a couple year's old, but already had the aftermarket stuff I'd want to add anyways, so it would save me some cash in the long run. The new smell wasn't as important to me as power, and weight-loss. With the mtn sleds produced by ANY of the manufacturers today, you can lQQk 👀like a superstar, because the sleds are so good!..R.I.P. K.B...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
A 850 boost weighs about 25lbs more than a 9r both in stock form...you definitely can feel the weight difference. The 850 boost doesn't have the throttle response that a 9r does. Both handle very well and, are great mountain machines. The 9r shines in tight technical terrain where as the 850 boost is truly a mountain climbing machine.
I watch a lot of videos with mountain sleds. I always see some early footage that looks like riding on trail from the parking lot. I always riders all the way to the left on blind left turns. We’re you on two way groomed trails? Is it just leaving the parking lot and no one is headed back that early? What about trail riders coming the other way?
@@montanamountainutv If you notice there's no tracks and almost no one else in the parking lot. On busy days you can't ride like that but early mornings on a week day it's very unlikely to meet another rider where I was going.
You're one hellova rider! I don't know how you can ride in that terrain, on the machines you ride with a raging boner!..lol stay safe, R.I.P. Ken Block!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠

Getting yourself in shape and practicing also helps
Hahaha you are right! Having the right equipment makes it more fun though
@@CalebKesterkei sled and that’s very true
@@theunvaccinatedcanadian3410 exactly. I lost 60 lbs for this season and it makes a world of difference.

Thanks man! Thanks for watching and supporting!
Riding one handed, filming on a steep sidehill. Like you were born on a sled!
Every nice to see you back and enjoying what you love. Great job
DUDE THE SNOW IS AMAZING. Gnarly riding for the 146 too.
Isaac straight Bonked that tree!! 🎄 good nite!! Couple A-arms and lucky dude!! Solid ripping, new kind of poppin for sure🤘
Nice video, your man handling that thing. I’m loving the 9R
Wow what a machine.. almost sounds boosted 🫠. Good riding
Man I hope it keeps storming like it looks like it might for the next two weeks till I get there to Seeley!! Pumped for a couple days of riding after seeing snow conditions like this
Beautiful view's outstanding riding
After this season, it will be ranked the most UNRELIABLE sled.
Duuuude 1:17 is NUTS
12:13 what a full send that was...glad it completely threw him off the sled. Tree 1 Isaac O

What clicker settings do you like for the Khaos shocks?
Sick bros🤘☹️
Curious why you don’t go with the 7s display for the buddy tracking? Love the videos.
My boost has the 7s. I just didn’t get them on every sled this year
9R is a power house!
How'd the 146 do compared to the 155?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sick.
Dope
I cant wait. We got snow in Idaho this morning. What sony camera and lens are you using? and do you film with the camera?
Sony A7iii and a 24-105mm lens
Nice set up. Thankk you@@CalebKesterke
Ok let's go!!

I had the sled in reverse to trench the pillow out so it was easier to go up the next run
@Proven Progression that makes perfect sense, thanks for the info. Keep up the great content your Instagram pictures are crushing it.
How old is Issac? He is good!

9r is a good sled, buddy has one but I'll take my g5.

Gotta watch, mornings go up, afternoons coming down. Always expect someone hauling ass in the opposite direction.
