Hey fellas. Love the videos. Just gonna share a little story here: 3 years ago I got myself a spinal cord injury that left me with nerve damage. 2 weeks before I had bought a 2017 sidewinder mtx 162. No idea what was just around the corner. That cut my season in half. Brand new sled and I barely put a mile on it. The following season I started to ride it again and with my nerve damage in my legs, I always described it to people as my feet being stuck in pails of cement. I just could NOT get my legs over my seat. Id be headed for a tree well and id just have to let the sled go because I couldn't swing my legs over to correct. I was so upset because I wanted to ride so badly but it was so difficult. I became determined to learn how to make my sled work for me and not against me. So I watched hundreds of how to videos from all you professionals and I put them into practice. 3 years later and I can FINALLY ride my sled how I want. Your videos totally changed the way I ride. Now I dangle my tank through the trees with ease! Thanks guys
This is such an inspiring story, thanks for sharing. Keep shredding
That is an awesome ending to what could have been a pretty sad story! Keep it up man, inspiring! 🙏
@@KlettengK its all determination, strength and will power. I lost the ability to do a LOT of things I loved, but ive been on sleds since I was 3, so was desperate to hang onto it. Grateful for all the healing and progress I've made because its not an easy road
@@trinitysolutionsoffroad7623 I’m glad for you that you held on to it!
@@KlettengK me too! I'd go nuts without it
im 14 and just got my snowmobile safety certificate so all of this information will become helpful this winter
👍
Wtf is a Snowmobile safety certificate lamo we don’t have those in Newfoundland
What is a snowmobile safety certificate lol
@@winkiiiie in the US you gotta go through a snowmobile safety class and get your snowmobile license. Mainly just for trail riding
@@samuelfink1619 same in the canadian army but i dont think its that. he said he's 14 i doubt the us army gives snowmobile courses to teenagers
I'm just seeing a lot of your videos now, but I can definitely see the difference between riding the sled and it takes you kind of where you want it to go, versus total control, it's going exactly where and how I want it to go. Your avalanche vids are priceless as well.
I went for the first time mountain riding two days ago. Wow. Talk about a humbling experience. You guys def make it look easy
This is a fundamental that when done wrong, screws up many things. My riding has demonstrated this over and over. Now to move back to basics, NAIL IT, and then start to make progress again ! Heading for the mountains on the 1st. Can't wait !
Here in WA just got 1ft!!!! Seasons finally starting to pick up...yay
Excellent video, as always. My first response to a neutral position counter-steer vs. wrong foot forward is you can go half the speed and even stop with wrong foot, as you showed. Neutral position pretty much always requires moment and there's no stopping. Looking forward to Star Valley soon!
Great video Dan. Attending your clinic back in 2010 has been one of the greatest investments I have made in advancing my riding. Keep up the great vids!
Excellent advice. Had this happening to me, and I didn’t even realize! Thank you
I suffered with this very problem a few weeks ago, on my first trip to the mountains. By the third day, and after some great instruction, I figured it out and had it nailed.
Thats what we like to hear. Thanks for watching.
Great content and education. Thank you for taking the time to teach us!
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the early Christmas present!! Don't think I do this, but I always watch all the way through any way because I definitely understand I'm no where near your level!! Thanks again. Keep up the good work.
I thought you had a new workout regiment!!! Love the vids...
Looks like y’all are getting some decent coverage up in wyo. Nice to see it coming down. Still a little boney here in N-CO. Supposed to get warm for a couple hopefully it’ll base out a bit and we’ll get a much needed dump. As usual great energy and succinct info on sledding challenges. 👍🙌 Dan’s the man.
Yeah man! I feel like I only do this like 60% of the time. It was good to see this video after I rode yesterday. Thanks man..🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
bingo! light bulb on! I now see what my issue was! thanks!
Great video, always learn a lot from guys like Dan.
Amazing video as allways dan keep it up
Thanks! Will do!
Awesome! I think I threw this suggestion out last season, super helpful
Thank you I needed to see that it will help me very much
Glad it helped, thanks for watching
Merry Christmas Dan !
Just got my first 155 so pumped
Always good input bud, thanks for sharing.
You bet, thanks for watching
Like your videos man. I’d like to see a video of how to handle drop offs or an introduction to doing drop offs.
Awesome video as always Dan. Love the great demonstrations and techniques you are teaching us all in order to become better riders👌👍😎. Thanks again, Merry Christmas 🎄 and stay safe.
A+++
Thanks for the amazing video !
If you have your feet back on the running boards as you approach the hill, when you make your transition do you walk up? otherwise, how do you get the leg you're swinging over behind without running out of running board? Was trying to slow it down but can't tell from the angle at what point you rotate and swing that leg to go wrong foot forward. Thanks for all the vids! Super helpful out here in Alaska
Howdy and thanks for watching. Having your feet back on the running boards and keeping your upper body forward is just a great position to start when headed up a hill. Often times I’ll see people attempt to climb something but they refuse to move their feet and end up just leaning back and pulling back as they head uphill. That’s ok if the snow is rock hard or if they are wanting the sled to wheelie….but if they’re trying to go up a specific direction keeping the front end down and the skis in the snow can certainly help steer the sled when necessary. The moment the uphill isn’t working out or you decide to change direction then yes you’d want to move your feet forward appropriately to either hop into opposite foot forward or even stay neutral but nearly each time you change your position it requires moving your feet. Almost every bad position you find your upper body in is related to where your feet are on the boards.
Keep practicing 🙌✊
@@NextLevelRidingClinics Great answer thank you for taking the time to respond!
Thanks Dan videos are awesome
Ha ha yestrrday, a guy in our group from Saskatchewan was doing the same thing, I broke down the steps for him but he couldn't grasp the concept of wrong foot foward and tapping the brake to set up for a side hill, I suggested he watch your vids and practice in a field lol back home lol
Do you blame the guy? Out here in SK we only have one hill to practice side hilling on.
@@luke8952 yea no doubt, gotta ride the ditch wall for a wall lol. I suggested to him ,to learn how to go down the trail on one ski, it can even be done sitting down lol
I see no fogging, what is the google/helmet setup?
I can not stop for more than 3 sec before foggings starts, I usually have to ditch the googles.
That's the KLIM F3 Carbon helmet and the new KLIM Edge Goggles. Just rode with this same setup last week and it was great. They are very fog resistant and I didn't have any issues the whole day.
Make a video on how to jump, foot position ext.
Great thank you
Thank you for your video ! , curious about your Klim pants and coat , what are the model , like it
Can you do a video on carving circles
Great video how do you feel so comfortable on stock running broads I cant feel comfortable
Stock running boards are actually really good, so much better than older sleds.
Ohh my gosh! This is soo me! Thank you soo much!!!
I am having troubles side hilling on my right side but can do it perfectly on my left side. Any tips?
Hey dan is that Klim monosuit available now ? What is that specific suit called?
That's actually the new Valdez Jacket and Togwotee Bib he's wearing. www.klim.com/Valdez-Jacket-3570-008?quantity=1&color=826
@@scottrtomlinson thanks Scott
Do you have to keep your index finger on the break or can I use my middle finger?
Both Dan and Chris Burandt insist on a finger, or two fingers on the brake. Doesnt matter which one(s). Now that I do it out of habit, I get it. Really helps to apply a quick stab of brake.
I have concrete feet. But I’m 76 years old. But I’m gonna give her a try! 👍👍👍
You can do it! Great to hear you are out riding at your age. Keep it up
A guy in our group is 71, we live in sicamoose, he rides many times a week and and conquer any terrain, inspiring to watch.
@@jc9601 I’ve only been riding since I was 60. But I ride a lot. My channel is n2snow. I have over 1000 vids. Ck it out?
I prefer to put my foot at 38 degrees.
Ha I thought it was gonna be a vid about NewJersey's mobsters
like this wone
It’s my bday
I like it. Concrete Feet.
It's called being lazy. Let's face it. It really happens more after a full day or several days of riding. Getting tired. Being lazy.
Looks like he had concrete feet 😂👌🏻
Now don’t be thinking we didn’t notice the e-start. We all know it’s the future.
learn how to downhill ski.
