[@Paisteboy]

Appreciate the well wishes! I'm working on getting better every day. Yes. Thanks for Zuke's contribution this season for sure. It wouldn't be happening without him. Thanks for watching UpstateSlednecks.

[@mikew.4165]

The closeups of the signs are awesome. Video made my day. Get better soon!

[@Paisteboy]

Appreciate that. Glad you liked it. I'm working on getting better every day.

[@markcarkner4617]

Great job zuke and shag keep takeing us along sledding with yous . We still not have enough for trails

[@Paisteboy]

Thanks for watching. Hopefully, you'll have enough snow for trails soon.

[@darrellfolk5284]

I love this channel!! Wishing a fast recovery for Pastie Boy! And a safe travels to the boys!

[@Paisteboy]

Thanks, Darrell! I appreciate that.

[@travisretterath4445]

Zuke and Shag are pretty entertaining! Heal up quick, and take care Paisteboy. Sitting on the sidelines watching certainly isn’t much fun. Thanks everyone for still providing content! Very cool fellas!

[@Paisteboy]

Appreciate it. I'm working on getting better each day.

[@alancall5113]

great job filming zuke

[@Paisteboy]

Agreed. Thanks for watching alan.

[@ericbrobst8160]

Thanks for keeping the sled content going Shag and Zuke!!! Awesome video for 1st video of the season. You guys were beat and just wanted to get back but they are the rides you remember and laugh about. Keep safe out there boys!

[@Paisteboy]

Appreciate you watching. Stay safe out there too!

[@leerjet18]

I am in WI, no snow for the second year in a row. So I watch other people snowmobile on you-tube. Woe is me.

[@Paisteboy]

That's too bad. There's still time. The season is young. Thanks for watching.

[@digger12538]

Good to see you are out there! Feel better Paiste!

[@Paisteboy]

Appreciate you watching and the well wishes!

[@DareDog.]

Great videoing Zuke! When they made that turn just at dark. Knew they would be going through swancott mills state Forrest and that big water hole. Good idea to turn around. Lot of sleds got stuck in it. The club has now fixed it. Drained it. Put tree branches in it then packed it with snow. Over 8 hours they spent working on it.

[@Paisteboy]

Yes. Hats off to Zuke for getting the footage and trailside chats. I will still be editing all of the videos for the whole season. Thanks for watching DareDog!

[@zuke9966]

@@Paisteboy That water hole was HUGE!! Id guess 40 by 100 plus!

[@Paisteboy]

Sounds like fun! lol. 😂😂😂

[@EdwardCook-k5d]

way to go ZUKE!

[@Paisteboy]

Yes! Thanks for watching, Ed!

[@dominator5498]

Good to have you back guys....thanks to Shag and Zuke for bringing the camera along.

[@Paisteboy]

Thanks for watching, We appreciate the support Todd.

[@bigdaddy490]

As an avid snowmobile guy that lives 2 hours front tug. I hate it there. Crowded and the water never freezes. Seeing those mud holes makes me glad to stay local and ride the fields lol. Don't baby that arm buddy. Get back on the horse. You will be fine. Good video

[@Paisteboy]

Yeah, Tug Hill can be a tough place to ride. Thanks for watching, and stay safe out there. I'm following the PT's orders. I don't want to mess it up.

[@galensteria4790]

That was awesome... my old stomping grounds.... glad u guys are recording... hope u are doing well pastyboy.... u need to be with those guys to keep em in order...😂

[@Paisteboy]

I appreciate it, I wish I could get back out there soon. Zuke definitely needs supervision. lol

[@markdephilippo1404]

Get better pastieboy we all miss you great video thanks for sharing

[@Paisteboy]

Will do. Thank you. I go back to work tomorrow 1-15-25. I could have gotten 2 more weeks to recover but I turned it down. I hope I can handle it after only recovering 6 weeks. This is much harder than my biceps tendon rupture surgeries.

[@josephpalermo1959]

Ty zuk and shag for filling in,

[@Paisteboy]

Yes. Thanks boys!

[@rmiller5748]

Awesome!! Way to step up Zuke!! Hopefully you have a Speedy recovery paiste. That sucks about Gary I'm 54 and get just as excited for snowmobiling as I did back when I was a kid "early 80s😮😅" I hope Gary finds the joy in it again🤞. Any ways if you boys ever make it west to Wisconsin or the UP Michigan let me know My family owns a beautiful place northern WI. Right on the border of the UP. You all will have a place to stay. You know in case you all need new content to film😂 keep up the good work of keeping our sport alive!!!

[@Paisteboy]

Thanks for the offer. We appreciate the support.

[@jeffbrown8974]

Definitely like this raw content

[@Paisteboy]

I'm glad to hear it.

[@jeeptjxwrangler1088]

You guys were riding a Ski Doo, Sea Doo and Can Am , that day!

[@Paisteboy]

LOL. Looked like it! Thanks for watching.

[@timbronson1266]

Love the content any chance we can see the unedited content maybe

[@Paisteboy]

Thanks, but probably not.

[@andypalm7061]

Good job guys! Sure miss Paisteboy with the "in ride"commentary ! We stayed off the hill to try out these new Cardo Comms. I don't know what you all are using . Do you like your systems?

[@Paisteboy]

Thanks Andy. Yeah, I would be way too complicated to get Zuke setup with the in helmet mics and 360 cam as well. I'm just grateful that he's recording and I can edit these up at least so that you guys don't think we all quit. We use Chatterbox x2 slim-p comms. They are radios, like a walkie talkie so they never lose connection and travel for miles through any conditions. Trees don't interfere at all and you don't need line of sight either. We love them!

[@MarkM-v6k]

PB, Hope the shoulder is on the mend, I had some computer issues so unable to comment on your last video. I have had both left and right shoulder tears one in 2018 and the other 2022. The orthopedic surgeon stated only complete tears are operable not parcials like mine. Because of the severe pain I could not move my arm for a long period of time, I ended up with frozen shoulder. Like BigDaddy490 stated you can't keep it imobile to long or it leads to other problems. Hope to see more great video content from Zuke and Shag this winter. Thanks MM

[@Paisteboy]

Thanks, MM. I'm following the PT's orders, and it's getting better each day. I'm back to work, and I'm keeping flexible. I'm not babying the arm, but I'm not overusing it either. Thanks for the insight, for watching and for commenting.

[@jpaul4595]

Miss seein ya on the trails paisteboy. Thanks to Zuke for making the video, looked dicey at the end. Waterholes in the dark will pucker you up.

[@Paisteboy]

Yeah, I'm missing it, too. It did look dicey at the end there! Thanks for watching.

[@jeffreycervoni5859]

Good job Zuke!

[@Paisteboy]

Yes. Thanks for watching Jeff!

[@krankysledzz]

Good job guys. Very entertaining.

[@Paisteboy]

Thanks for watching kranky.

[@DirkDiggler-qp3vm]

Man I swore you weren’t sledding this year. Excited to watch this video and here’s to a great 2025 snowmobile season. Edit I was correct hope your healing up fast. And If this is Zuke’s first time recording he did a good job by end of season he’ll be great.

[@Paisteboy]

I'm won't be able to ride this season, but Zuke has insisted on taking the cameras and he is recording this season. I'll be editing the videos and planning for a great next season. Thanks for watching and I wish you the best 2025 season Dirk.

[@Summitoutdoorproductions]

Good job Zuke ! Suprised to see this pop up in the feed. Thanks boys. Best of luck Paiste

[@Paisteboy]

Thanks, Dirk. He's doing it well. I'm healing up well.

[@Paisteboy]

Thank you.

[@silverram323]

Pastieboy ~ hang in there bud. I had rotator cuff surgery two years ago. It’s a tough go but you will get there. Make sure to do your stretches and exercises, it will break or make your recovery. Cheers

[@Paisteboy]

Thanks silverram! I hear that about the exercises all the time so I must keep them up. I want a full recovery! Cheers to you as well and thanks for watching.

[@zioantonioauntienell]

Good job Zuke and Shag thanks for recording and thanks to Paiste for editing and posting. Like the Paiste cameo😂😂. Get well soon. Maybe a late season video with you???

[@Paisteboy]

Thanks for the well wishes and for watching. I will try to make a late season 2 up ride if possible.

[@RDobbs-uv4xc]

Good to hear your narration. It's almost like you're there. It's too bad Gary isn't into it anymore. How about every time the guys hit a water hole everyone takes a shot. Nobody would make it through the video. Lol!

[@Paisteboy]

Thanks, RDobbs. Gary sold everything. If he buys another sled, he only plans on riding local and within about 45 minutes from home. You're right about the drinking game. No one would make it to the end. Lol. Thanks for watching.

[@pauliebeans4772]

Gary would have loved that we were in old forge nothing like that.

[@Paisteboy]

Probably. I'm hoping he goes out riding with Zuke & Shag soon.

[@TroyHanson-ch6nm]

I don't blame Gary sometimes you need a break i know the wallet likes a break also 😄 Zuke did a great job .. His eyes seem a bit glassy he must enjoy like i do 😄 👍

[@Paisteboy]

Hopefully, it's just a temporary break for Gary. Zuke should be good at it. He's been watching me do it for 14 seasons. Lol. He has his own style behind the camera, though. Thanks for watching.

[@Scott-fz7nk]

You still gonna get on your drums

[@Paisteboy]

I won't be playing the drums for a while yet.

[@stevew5212]

Difficulty adds to the fun. We need more carnage. You never remember the easy times but you always seem to remember the hard times.

[@zuke9966]

Shag and I will remember this for years! We were saying that to each other too!

[@Paisteboy]

I agree but not to point of needing surgery. This is my fourth surgery since I've been making KZbin Videos and the second to ruin my snowmobiling season. My third year on on KZbin was my first year making snowmobiling videos when I ruptured my Left arm biceps tendon and needed surgery. I only had a few rides in that season at that point. I remember the good and try not to dwell on the bad. I'm an optimist. Thanks for watching stew.

[@markdephilippo1404]

I’m thinking we’re all gonna get a new perspective on this channel. Zuke is in control.

[@Paisteboy]

Yeah. I had to tone him down a bit. You wouldn't recognize him if he was editing. lol. Thanks for watching Mark.

[@zuke9966]

@@Paisteboy I try to not be such a dumb ass but its hard.

[@Paisteboy]

lol

[@stew8834]

How's the shoulder doing bro?

[@Paisteboy]

Getting better every day. I'm going back to work tomorrow (Wednesday). Thanks for asking and for watching stew.

[@2AstaccatoP]

Man your missing out this yr. Great snow conditions

[@Paisteboy]

Yeah, I know. There's no point crying over spilled milk, though. I'll just hope to ride twice as much next season.

[@davidprentiss7667]

Paisteboy, you missed a good one

[@Paisteboy]

Yeah. I'll pass on the huge water holes. lol. thanks for watching.

[@brucemacdonald4672]

Those trails are terrible.

[@Paisteboy]

Agreed!

[@KP-oe8sk]

WOW ! Get better soon! OH I see No more Arctic/CAT and YAMMY sleds!!! I know you like other sleds but it is sad to see them go down!

[@Paisteboy]

Yeah. The lack of adequate snow is destroying the sport. Thanks for watching.
