2 Sleds 1 Heli

Well it was bound to happen at some point. catastrophic failure in the backcountry! we could've fixed my sled fairly easy but its supposed to snow for 4-5 days and doubling all the way in to this place would be nightmare! expensive day but will look back on it as a good memory. also the issues with the gen 5 was the reeds.

[@jerrydelyea5820]

What I really like is that Matt is always having a good time, laughing at literally everything. This is the attitude to have.

[@literallyshaking8019]

One thing I’ve learned in my 40 years being on this earth, is that even though it absolutely sucks in the moment, the total shitshow days we all go thru from time to time are the ones you remember most, and laugh about the hardest with friends years later.

[@rickroll4461]

👍agreed.

[@EmilJonsson94]

Yep!

[@jakojames5754]

The best snowmobile edited documentarys on the web.. Period.. Awesome job Matt. Still my #1 winter daily..

[@actionjack84]

Watching you guys try to 2up is like watching me trying to mountain ride! I think you kill switched him once on purpose 😂.

[@MuskokaFreerider]

🤫

[@Rideflylaugh]

Best entertainment on the internet!!! Wow, Matt what a great job documenting this and editing for us. Friggian incredible! Im so happy is was the P22 and not the engine after that crazy wide open pull!! Hopefully Polaris will get you back up and running soon. I would go P85, and not run that P22.......so many issues with it. Thanks Again for the smiles, laughs, cringes, smirks, and conversations generated on a regular basis due to your incredible content. Cheers!

[@MuskokaFreerider]

🙌🙌 thanks! We will see how this new p22 holds up. If it fails maybe we have to get the 85 somehow.

[@leftyeh6495]

There's several shops setting up the p85 for the 9r. Same crank taper, so it's just a bolt on and check alignment. Since the secondary is the same you can screw the deflection adjustment bolt in from an 850

[@williamutech4055]

Dang Matt, I now understand why we didn't get a video yesterday. I was so bummed, but now it all makes sense. What an adventure, that 2-up ride out was wild. Good to know that you have your sleds back already and they are fixed. Love the content and can't wait for you to be back riding. Keep it up Matt.

[@johnmcguffin1505]

Great video! Every time you guys went flying off the sled had me laughing so hard, my wife thought something was wrong with me! 😂 really cool to see the heli-rescue

[@MuskokaFreerider]

Even I was laughing too hard I had to cut some of it out 😂

[@SledNutHamy]

Genius leaving the Go Pro on for the Heli lift 👍🏻. I’m sure there were a few curse words...but you guys came out smiling anyway. Nice!

[@thecommenter6839]

One thing snowmobiling will teach you is to be humble🤣. When your shit runs good always lend a hand to the guy who's struggling, because you might be the guy needing help in 5 minutes or the next day! Either way, nothing with snowmobiling ever seems like it's "plug and play", always forgetting some gear or the cabin keys, or the propane for the grill. I lost a brand new iphone 13 on the 1st of this year into fresh 6 feet of powder. Gotta love the sport!!!🤣

[@johnmackinnon9036]

Your videos are putting all the million plus subscriber youtubers to shame keep it up can't wait for some earthworks videos this summer

[@sethrussell5649]

It’s amazing how positive you all are when things go bad. I wish I could have that kind of positivity under stress. The double riding was hilarious.

[@johnclarke8180]

I can't say enough how awesome the content was in this episode! The beautiful mountains, amazing airial go pro footage and the best part IMO was the side by side riding. It must of been so challenging and I appreciate the footage. Thanks for sharing

[@markstone2877]

Thank you for breaking a Skidoo and a Polaris, makes it tricky for the haters. I hope you get everything fixed soon, what a great year.

[@fairbanksairriders]

A reed broke and went into the piston? Wonder how often that happens!

[@NightshiftCustom]

@@fairbanksairriders and it didn't leave him on the hill also to me that's a really big deal. heli rides are not cheap! also I think if the reed went into the piston it would not be ready to ride as he says in the video but will see I guess!

[@208SledHead]

@@fairbanksairriders It happened to Longtrack Jack of Boondock Nation - along with just about everything else

[@208SledHead]

@@NightshiftCustom Replacing that clutch is way easier to do than replacing a reed/piston/motor. Like Matt said - if it wasn't gonna snow at that location for the next 4-5 days, he'd just ride up and replace the clutch up there. Derek's chain case however.....

[@D3thM3tal]

I've got to say Matt, this was the funniest video watching you guys ride two up on the way down was SUPER entertaining. You guys can ride the hell out of those things - thanks for the content.

[@2WheelKam]

One of your worst days on the mountain, but I gotta say, it turned into one of my favorite videos! Seeing the views from the Helicopter ride and how fast you got that done was really cool. Sometimes the most experienced riders make the best decisions by knowing when they need to bring in reinforcements! Really cool episode Matt! Thanks for being awesome!

[@Showmeagrizzlybear]

So 29K for a turbo doo, broken less than 1400km, broken Polaris less than 1000KM cost 26K. These manufactures prices and reliability issues are so outta touch.

[@matth8924]

Thing is this is the absolute most extreme use for sleds period. Manufactures have tried to squeeze as much performance out as possible out of the two-stroke, its really not surprising that they blow up Now if they could make a four stroke that was as light as a two stroke….

[@Showmeagrizzlybear]

Agreed, but when your spending that type of money. As riders we expect a little better reliability. Plus if you don’t snow check your machine. Your only offered 1 year of warranty….. Also, who is buying a used machine with 1500km with all these issues, paying 20K.

[@KingBigBabyJesus]

This is what the sleds were designed for and failed horribly. He's gonna be back on that old reliable yellow summit. 4 strokes don't like being upside-down so they'll never take off

[@devonkuhlman4261]

Sounds about right for a Polaris

[@peterjacobs6290]

Your in the wrong sport if you’re on a budget.

[@baksideDisaster]

Man crazy day, heli sled footage was the best. Little advice from sled snowboarding crew that doubles on the regular.. when riding double let driver have hands on both side of bars like normal. Rider holds mountain bar under drivers arms underhanded with right hand. Then rider lightly holds left bar end lightly. You don’t need full grip just enough to balance. When sidehilling on right side you can switch left hand underhanded to mountain bar and hold lightly on drivers pack pretty much giving him a hug. Hope you don’t get another chance to try it. 🤘

[@ben_syxxes8179]

Great content as always! It takes strong shoulders to day in, day out ride and publicly show equipment failures as they happen in real time. In doing so you can fully anticipate the hard brand bashing you’re about to receive from the online community when really you’re doing everyone a service by providing information on weak points that possibly need attention. Every manufacturer has strong and weak points regardless of what people have to say so it’s better to support the very few transparent content creators who openly show equipment issues instead of to brand bash them.

[@kevinallen206]

This is my favorite snowmobile video on the internet now.

[@brittneygitlewski3107]

It's awesome coming and looking on KZbin, and there is a 40 min video to watch

[@ostacruiser]

Why do you guys ride better two up then I can by myself?? haha! Awesome stuff man. You always remember the epic shitshows the best!!

[@Jack30101]

Your amazing! Incredible content and you stayed so positive even when your sled broke on top of the mountain!!

[@613doo]

of all the things that happened, You guys trying to find a way to ride double had me and the wife rolling on the floor!

[@tyronew6955]

The voice screech at 14:12 had me cracking up lol! Good video brother 👍👍

[@taylorbrown7663]

Such a great video! The content you put out is top notch, Matt. Got such a kick out of you guys doubled up trying to ride out. I bet that had to of been quite a workout! The heli rescue seemed like a pretty easy situation, all things considered. The pilots seemed very helpful as well so shout out to those guys! Keep up the hard work, Matt!

[@hawkofthenorth4829]

Thanks for filming your adventures Since there's no ridable snow in Lower Michigan all we can do is dream of riding atm.

[@greggruntler1355]

No doubt todays content was the most expensive ever. It was cool to see how they rig them and, till that point, you guys had some great riding. Sorry it ended that way but..... its all part of the potpourri of life. Thanks for all your efforts to keep great vids coming our way.

[@coryernewein]

I'll stick with my old snowpony, sure she may be 20yrs old but it goes where the new ones do and I know my machine is damn near bulletproof😎 Good luck out there fellas🤙

[@cstevenett2779]

Doubling out of an area can get really western in a hurry. I love It!!! Lol Thanks for another great adventure Matt!!! Oh yeah......That slab Looked pretty thick on the ridge!!! WOW! Stay safe guys!

[@sickjohnson]

OMFG...WOW! 🤯 That was fricken unreal Matt...from multiple cameras and drones on blue bird to avalanche, heli and struggle bus...crazy man!

[@paulmilbocker112]

Glad to see you guys using Garmin Explorer Inreach plus. They can be a life saver. Also just a handy tool and peace of mind.

[@jeremyjensen2986]

Keystone, one of my favourite riding zones in revy! Had to double out back from cabin before also, not the best area to double out of, but you guys did awesome,, thanks for the videos

[@ryanc8188]

Damn man, hell of a way to start the year doo goes down and the 9r ✌️ out, hopefully next season is better.

[@TheOrgan16]

Watching that double out was some of the best content you have ever filmed! Loved it haha

[@robertgendreau780]

Thanks for the update on the doo. Was wondering what happened and glad too hear it wasn’t too major. Thanks for the great videos cheers

[@MrReadandlearn]

That single file rutted up trail is called a cow path. It's amazing how many cows ride.

[@Hogdog970]

Nice, we were just up in Weber County Utah using a Helo to haul out a plane. Pretty neat stuff!! Stay safe out there!

[@bigdaddy490]

Def the worst day I've seen, but the best video so far lol. And I'm really depressed because you guys ride better double than I do single

[@joebolt8873]

On the turbo sleds you have to check the chain tensioner every trip of how much power there is on skidoo seen a video of it here in Alaska.

[@mattalexander15]

Probably one of my favourite videos from you. Still laughing even after your sled broke down, full story to it all. Loved it!

[@SS-iw1gf]

That was a great show, I found myself leaning with Matt and the other guy riding double out! 😂😂

[@ak907silvers6]

I was laughing my arse off on the double riding out with you and Jordan haha! Glad it all worked out in the end, could have been so much worse. Absolutely epic video Matt. Wish it was 3 hours long!

[@TheMrJackpinesavage]

Welcome to another Tuesday in the land of sleds! But the two up riding was a legit show.

[@Frangus_]

Sucks that the sleds broke down but really cool video seeing how you guys got the sleds and yourselves out again.

[@realist7190]

One of your best you tubes yet! Unfortunate, for the broken sleds, but the ride out was hilarious. My wife and I laughed the whole time!

[@DLaing898]

Broken doo, broken polaris. Time for a cat I guess🤣👌

[@SooSteelheader]

The footage of the sled flying through the air under the heli has to be one of the greatest shots I've seen in a while, the music makes it! Good on ya for thinking to put a gopro on the sled while it was being flown out 👍🏻

[@jonathanbeaumont2183]

Some bad luck Matt, hope they both get fixed asap. Thanks for Keeping us viewers up to date on the doo and poo. Your the best 👌

[@joannekeats3854]

Love the heli view! I’m a lineman and have seen that view being suspended under a heli doin line work. Been living and sledding in bc for many years. Nowhere near as skilled as your crew but enjoy your vids ! Keep it up 🍻

[@kodiakk1765]

Oh man, I have been up there 4 or 5 times and I have always lived in terror of having to heli out a sled. You guys ride better with 2 of you on the sled than we do by ourselves. too cool. Glad you all made it out.

[@narkki90]

It was awesome to see you guys figuring out how to ride double and have fun doing it!

[@Rokonroller]

I spent 100k + on trying to build a bulletproof Harly, there is always a weak link. It’s all in the game. When you ride over the limit it costs 💵 Thanks for the great vids bud👊

[@bigchaloopa]

Best Day Ever! When shit goes wrong and no one gets hurt. Let's see that SKI-DOO feeling.

[@traviscarollo1405]

You have a awesome group of guys 2 ride with been watching you for 2 years and I enjoy the content very much I haven't been able to ride for 2 years do to a major foot surgery so I been ride the hell out of my chair with you keep up the great videos

[@nor_kazzy1894]

Really enjoyd the 2 man on 1 sled riding

[@dtracy03ss]

The last time I had the Monster Wide open time, it wasn't the Clutch, I just remember Silence and the Wine down of the Track!!!! Watched everything, great Vid, ready for Part 2!

[@dan69cam]

Awesome video guys! Sitting on the couch watching and dreaming. Waiting to hear from doctor on my torn rotator cuff

[@davidbjerrum6178]

wow, amazing how well you guys did teaming it out of there

[@themeach011]

The best way I've found to double is to just put them in front of you like a little kid. I've doubled my 250lbs cousin up some massive hills so he could snowboard down lol.

[@brianquarnstrom2000]

That was quite the adventure. Definitely the reason why your content far exceeds everyone else’s. You show absolutely everything good and bad with sleddin. Very unbiased view and the way you deal with any situation makes you so relatable. One question, @Turcotte16 runs a 9R as well and seems harder on his than you are on yours. Wondering how many problems he’s had. Would be interesting to see two different viewpoints on the same sled.

[@kents6746]

That 9R of yours was sounding boggy and off for that whole ride, was likely on its way out then, but been there when the vis and snow is good... holder to the bar!!🍺🍺

[@gregchapdelaine4889]

Wow. What a great video! Just awesome. Bummer for the breakdowns and expenses but I’m sure lots of great memories. Can’t wait to see the rescue vid.

[@bkdwar5138]

Wow, what a day that was eh...absolutely great video.

[@brianfrisselle5227]

Thanks for another amazing video. Sorry for your luck but at least it wasn’t the engine. Glad you got both sleds back!

[@jarkonmyskeet1522]

Best day ever 🤣. Respect all of you guys. Luckily only machines fail, that avalanche was serious. Thanks for making these.

[@joshkimball8084]

Best video yet matt you guys really Kno what your doing out there in the mountains.. keepem coming

[@douglpickles]

When you guys ride doubles better than most ride singles :P Glad it was just a clutch, when I saw you Instagram yesterday morning I was like no way he's got 2 sleds down. Ive always wondered the cost of getting Heli'd out, thanks for sharing. Another Great Video #snowsnobs

[@brookgaylord2375]

Love the way you always stay up beat and positive Matt. Keep hammering out the awesome footage

[@snowsatyr]

Some of your best work! So good.

[@requiemglassworks9254]

23:22 is one of the coolest shots I've ever seen! What a beautiful area!!!

[@williamutech4055]

I'm 2 minutes in and the conditions look BEAUTIFUL!!!! just knowing that the thumbnail is going to ruin the day. Hope to see a new video soon. keep it up Matt.

[@brittneygitlewski3107]

I agree I thought it was going to be bad

[@brittneygitlewski3107]

Just the clurch

[@brittneygitlewski3107]

I thought that you got hurt Muskoka

[@Just3adventures]

This was an awesome video! It sucks that your machines broke but shows what can happen and you still made the best of it! You guys are great 🤘🔥😎

[@bergracing5b547]

Was awesome seeing the team work with you two riding on each side of the sled, good video

[@DeDreamer]

Awesome job Matt and the rest of the guys. Team work and being prepared got you out of a jam. I like the detailled video of your day to day excursions. Keep up the great work!!!! Cheers

[@tylerbattaglia2730]

I've had to double up on the trail and I hated that couldnt imagine having to double up up and down those mountains. You guys were killin it lmao

[@Tuchodi8004]

Wow that’s some deep stuff. Sucks that the heli had to come but doubling like that looks like a blast !!!

[@BackcountryLife]

Awesome. Crazy day matt. we the skiers when riding double I have 1 person that is in control of the brake and the throttle and the passenger just holds onto the mountain bar.

[@laurasoffroadadventures]

On a bicycle built for twoooo Hahaha epic episode today!! You always bring it, today's ep was amazing! Breathtaking perspectives and lots of belly laughs lol. We love your content Matt!

[@chadc638]

This is my favorite video of the year. Not only of this channel .. but anywhere haha As has been said by others ....totalllly crappy in the moment but DAMN if you all wont remember this forever. "Hey, dude, remember that time we had TWO sled heli'd out?" .. will be something you guys tell over and over, whilst having a few beer. Having said that, glad you boys were all safe n sound. What a great video Matt.

[@benjik007]

This is an insane episode thanks for documenting the whole thing and the double ride was so funny to watch!! Looks like fun!!

[@snobiwonkenobi]

Another great video! Hate to see the issues on the mountain with the sleds, but shit happens! Lol. Your positive attitude during all of it is so awesome to see! Best damn sledding videos on the web! Thank you!

[@PartTimeYooper]

Belt drive vs chaincase looking better and better. And for those who say "why can't the manufacturers make these better for the price" They probably can't. They could maybe add 4-5k more beefing these sleds up but this type of riding is pushing this equipment to the max. 20 years ago, people didn't ride like this. Wide open spinning 3" 165" track put so much stress all across the drive train. What they probably need to do is rethink trail vs mountain drive train and maybe seriously beef up mountain sleds, which will come with a weight penalty. Either way, great content

[@northsuperior]

Enjoying watching your adventures Matt! only been to Revelstoke once but know how much fun it is riding snowmobiles there!

[@waults]

All the jackwagons hating on the sleds need to reset their thinking. These machines are built to the very edge of performance and the riding you see in videos like this is harder abuse than 95% of the sleds sold in the world will ever endure. Shit is gonna break! Polaris and SkiDoo have models that wouldn't have broken as we just seen here..... but they probably couldn't have gotten there in the first place! And you certainly wouldn't want to try bowties, hopovers and re-entries on those tanks. My most impressed part of this video was the double riding. I think we just found the next level for X games. 2-up backflips for the win!

[@rookiefarmer702]

Another awesome video Matt!! I couldn't imagine doubling out off the mountain. It's hard enough on a groomed trail, you guys make it look easy. I'm glad to see you got your sleds fixed, those guys are awesome at the shops you deal with. Let's hope the chain case parts aren't on backorder so Deryk can get back out so he doesn't have to go home early.

[@cdnbcn6164]

Sitting in the hotel with a broken sled watching.. good times ✌🏻

[@Grizzman99]

Blew up a chain case once. Sidehilling* above a drainage and thwack. Locked her up solid. Took some work to get that thing back to the trailer.

[@yoshy4072]

Now that's entertainment! Great action vid, sorry for the bad luck but it happens to the best prepared regardless.

[@KTMGREG55]

I know that musta sucked. But it sure did make for one kick ass video and we all got to see how it’s done when you break down in the alpine . And the heli vid was cool 😎🤙

[@MrKiddog]

Looking at those 4 arms on one sled is so funny looking! 😆 i know it wasnt planned but that looked like a ton of fun either way! Your laugh makes it even better cuz its so genuine! Sorry about the sleds but yous made the best of it!

[@marioteston6865]

Probably my favorite video to date!!! Destruction aside even. Amazing content always!!

[@rbuljo]

The friend giving you a ride down the mountain is very skilled! And very friendly :) Its hard riding double

[@3wfarms149]

That was a damn fine rotor craft operator I’m starting to think I need to buy a heli instead of sleds now 😂

[@randyfrostphotog]

Those copters used start at a cool $2M

[@abcarp1302]

I want to see more doubles competition, jumps and tree rides.

[@v4vDrJoker]

FYI, that splitscreen helmet and drone footage is a fire view! Love your videos man!!!! So damn jealous everytime....

[@jjjjrrr678]

Dude, I'm sorry for the broken sleds but loving every minute of your videos :)

[@ryryk6977]

Another 2023 chain case exploded this starting to be more common

[@thrillins8260]

This is by far my favourite episode 👍🏼

[@RayFMak]

Great job with this video 👏🏻👏🏻 Most entertaining channel on KZbin for sure ✌🏻

[@jasonb6570]

That ride out was a hell of an adventure

[@adambradley8734]
