A Day with my FIRST SLED in my HOMETOWN! 1989 Yamaha Ovation 340cc

[@valhallaawaits6889]

The only thing better than sledding is watching your videos about sledding. What a great trip down your memory lane, thanks for sharing. One of my current sleds is a 95 Mach 1 and it's my favourite hands down. Also your folks seem like super likeable people 👍

[@BeaverTailToys]

Awe well isn’t that just nice to hear! Thank you @valhalla awaits 🙏 Love those classic sleds and yeah my parents have always been well respected in the community 😊

[@GunsAndKnives]

I have one 1990 after sitting all year I took air hose gas lines it fired right up there fun little machines

[@BeaverTailToys]

Bulletproof! So many memories on that little sled!

[@mikedionne8187]

Awesome vid! I too had a new 89 Ovation as a kid. This brought back all sorts of similar memories I have of riding the local trails.

[@BeaverTailToys]

Thank you! Love it! Glad I could bring you back.

[@upnorthvlogs]

Fun little sleds I picked up one on Facebook marketplace for 50 bucks. I have more fun on that thing than my big Polaris is.

[@BeaverTailToys]

Haha, love it! Thanks for sharing. It’s a different kind of fun on those sleds for sure!

[@rockerdan]

Fantastic! Love the old sleds. I got all the old videos on VHS still too.

[@BeaverTailToys]

Awesome! Sadly I don’t have any VHS left, found this little sound bite online and thought it for perfectly 😊 Thanks for watching.

[@rockerdan]

@@BeaverTailToys We are gonna head up your way to ride for a weekend sometime in Feb...maybe will see you out on the trails! Ride Safe!

[@BeaverTailToys]

That would be awesome. Tag me in some of your bridge pics.

[@qjason508]

Love the video. It’s awesome for you to tell us some of your roots/ history. My first ever sled was an 1971 elan single

[@BeaverTailToys]

@jason quackenbush thank you 🙏 I’m glad you appreciated the vid! I know allot of people who “popped their cherries” on a Elan 😁

[@shawnroy81]

That’s a great video Vince. Good work

[@BeaverTailToys]

Thank you @shawnroy81, much appreciated!

[@thor942]

Really enjoyed the video. Sounds like an awesome place to grow up. Just started up the 89 Ovation today getting ready for winter

[@BeaverTailToys]

Awesome! Love hearing it. And yeah, it was a great place to grow up 😊

[@JerryArbs]

I've known OF you for ages online, but never had the opportunity to cross paths. What a wonderfully nostalgic video to relate to the days when phones didn't go with you on adventures and when the smell of sledding got us all excited. Excellent video!

[@BeaverTailToys]

Thank you @jerry arbs 🙏 these comments always have a little extra weight when they come from an artist that I respect. I’m glad I could provide you with some nostalgic feels. Hopefully we can finally meet in person soon.

[@nathanl5091]

Nothing beats nostalgia

[@BeaverTailToys]

I’m a sucker for it 😁

[@goaliegains6396]

Great video Vince! That was very nostalgic!! Sad that the Dunnet corner rink is n longer a thing.

[@BeaverTailToys]

Thanks Line! Much appreciated, that ODR was a special place for sure.

[@mainelykid]

Hi, Im a 13 year old kid and love your channel. I have a 1994 Ovation and i love it so that sled is gonna fun

[@mainelykid]

Also do you have any tips on how to go faster because I can only get mine to 60 mph

[@BeaverTailToys]

@Mainely Kid, thank you and thanks for watching. 60 mph top speed seems right. The one in the video is in KM/H so when you see me hit 80 that's around 50mph. Wish I had some tips for you on how to make it faster but I don't unfortunately.

[@mainelykid]

@@BeaverTailToys Thats ok but thanks those sleds are so fun

[@spede367]

I picked up an 1990 model of these today along with a 440 Jag. I've had my fair share of 340 Enticers but never an Ovation. This one is quite a bit worse for wear as it seized from oil starvation last winter. Hoping its just the pistons and cylinder jugs that have to be replaced as I have a spare 340 engine with blown crank seals. Good video!

[@BeaverTailToys]

NICE! 440's and 340's were everywhere when I was growing up.

[@audydaniel1968]

Just started watching your videos ..... Just got a new subscriber bud !!!!

[@BeaverTailToys]

Amazing! Thanks @Audy Daniel! Much appreciated!

[@justinracine4091]

This is great Vince, you are a talented story teller. I absolutely loved this video. Nice work. You brought back such wonderful memories of my childhood as well. Remember when the school busses had a snow day and couldn't pick up us to get to high school. Lol, the skidoo trail was pretty awesome those days I remember. Thanks again Vince.

[@BeaverTailToys]

Thanks @Justin Racine much appreciated! 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, back when November snow storms were the norm. 💜

[@MBTUE]

Yamaha was the best in quality. Hands down. 2016-2019 I was riding a 94 Vmax 600 on all the trails with no worries about breaking down and it never did !.

[@BeaverTailToys]

@Mark Bow Yes! The VMax4 is actually on the top of my list for sleds to own next…the original muscle sled! 💪🏽

[@MBTUE]

@@BeaverTailToys Go for it you'll get tons of views and subs . Iconic machine.

[@callofthefrench8586]

Neat video man 👍

[@BeaverTailToys]

Thank you 😊

[@shawnchabot3163]

Omg, I ripped an Ovation for years!

[@shawnchabot3163]

And in Coniston to be exact, our restaurant was the White House, our pit was Baby lake, and our rink was between two sets of train tracks.

[@BeaverTailToys]

LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing!
