Thank you, especially for the full disclosure of mechanical issues.

[@foxpilot17]

Jason is a legend here in the interior and a total beast on a sled, you can’t find a more genuine down to earth guy. congrats on the success bud.

[@LynxSnowmobiles]

We totally agree! 🤩

[@adrianstokman7909]

4:19 transition is absolutely perfect. love the quality of this piece.

[@LynxSnowmobiles]

Thanks! It's a🔥team

[@DaveNorona]

Super Rad and would expect nothing less from these rad dudes!!!

[@LynxSnowmobiles]

Exactly!

[@gregchapdelaine4889]

Outstanding video. Thanks for sharing this epic adventure.

[@LynxSnowmobiles]

It's our pleasure to share liftetime adventures like this one!

[@fishsticks5175]

Some real vision and passion here. Such nice sleds too. Awesome video and music too

[@LynxSnowmobiles]

Thanks for your nice comment! Passion is what brings riders together ❤️

[@ronlawson5819]

What an amazing adventure

[@iPutOnForMaESC]

Piston down on a new sled deep in the backcountry is a worst nightmare. I thought Lynx was the tough one in the family.

[@LynxSnowmobiles]

Sleds are tough, but our riders are tougher. A full season with Ribi behind the bars is a durability test few sleds want to see, and even fewer pass.

[@jeremymercier7152]

This was epic, awesome story. Nice work Jason and crew!

[@LynxSnowmobiles]

Thanks!!

[@moneycake1494]

I think Jason needs to make more videos like this, this was great. I think he’s a great ambassador but without a social media or much of a media presence I would bet most snowmobilers don’t know who he is.

[@LynxSnowmobiles]

Thanks for your comment!

[@thecabinguy3006]

As the crow flies, that’s only about 100km. Probably double that distance riding. That sounds like an awesome adventure. Hopefully you can pull it off next time.

[@larso1785]

That looket like a normal day of reindeer herder work.

[@sausages6135]

Yup, thats my kind of trip, helicopters and all.

[@LynxSnowmobiles]

🔥

[@niceguy5735]

Wish there was more story and riding 15:00 . Felt to fast. I wanted more. It was a good watch for sure just wanted more of it.

[@LynxSnowmobiles]

We always want more riding! Never enough 😍

[@Captndarty]

Are those aluminum linq fuel caddies a one off or available for purchase somewhere?

[@ShuswapLivin]

Its called a Juice Caboose. I have seen them on Polaris sleds. Mand M performance in Kelowna sells them. Maybe a Doo dealer can get you one

[@Reichaus]

BACKYARD BOLTONS Dusty is the man!

[@weston76384]

Backyard Bolt Ons !

[@martinlebreton6391]

Is the helicopter ride under warranty?

[@NiclasHorn]

TBH, i see way to much "broken" stuff on new sled´s that cost way to much. what we see is normal use. so as a Lynx owner and rider, i am bit worried. you just dont lose a cylinder in the engine on a new / newer sled.

[@rnl9520]

Lost a piston on a brand new $22k Sled? Not good Doo/Lynx! You can do better!

[@DaveNorona]

It machinery and the backcountry anything can go wrong, if you can't handle that then there is always the playground at your nearest school to go play at! :)

[@domkeller9460]

That’s snowmobiling, I hate to break it to you but a 180 horsepower 850cc two stroke isn’t gonna be reliable like carbed 600. You can’t have tons of horsepower and infinite reliability

[@fishsticks5175]

For for 2 stroke trubo charged -. Always high risk. 4 stroke no excuse really but 2 is different. Still sucks tho.

[@thecabinguy3006]

I wonder if he overheated it badly when they were running the road? I’d love to try sled camping one day. What an awesome adventure.

[@2010Greendayfan]

@@thecabinguy3006 very unlikely. Running roads you’re always watching your temp and pulling over as much as possible to stay cool.

[@phildolecki2598]

I love the idea of the adventure, but the reality of it going to plan is another thing completely. The costs associated with this (heli fuel drops, etc.) and endless hours of prep, from route planning to survival gear, it must have been a major disappointment. I'm sure you looked at most every angle possible, but an unfortunate mechanical failure has ended almost every sledders trip/plans at some point in their lives. I hope you pick it back up and get it done next time - Great Work Gentlemen, keep on dreaming!!!

[@magickennyj]

Skidoo has been nothing but problematic with it's new out sleds for 30 years or more, R&D with them is too short-term, and the customer becomes the ginny pig at the cost of failure and when they are off warranty your stuck with the bills, I'll never own another Skidoo or Polaris as they are in the same boat for quality, Japanese have always gone the extra mile to see the customer has a good sled long after the warranty period is up and there maintenance schedules are far more accurate.

[@dgreenbluet]

That looked miserable
