Hey Jesse another awesome video Enjoy your summer Can’t wait for next year

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Jerry! Glad you liked it. Still a bunch more videos coming up for the remainder of April. Cleaning, summarizing, sled reviews and sled battles! Stay tuned. Cheers, Jesse

[@dondwyer1366]

Hey Jesse & Mike, just wanted to say I appreciate all of the video's you two have put out this year. I like the honesty and pure love for snowmobiling you both bring to your video's. I purchased my 2022 Renegade Xrs 850 based on your feedback and not once during my 2750 km's did I ever regret it. I will go one more season with her and then hopefully Ski-Doo comes out with the Gen 5 4 stoke in 2024 and will get the Renegade Xrs 900 turbo for some long haul sledding. The trips you guy's have taken us on have been spectacular to say the least. Keep you the great video's and enjoy your summer!

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Don! Hearing things like this makes me so happy. I am glad we are able to provide good content and advice you can trust. Of course you are enjoying ur xrs 850 - it's an absolute weapon! And yes, my money is on the 900 being in the gen5 for 2024. So happy you enjoyed our ride videos and where we traveled this season - we are trying our best to bring some new content to the channel. Have a good summer as well brother! Cheers, Jesse

[@mitchbrandes1456]

nice work. I think a few people commented on the video, you are a great spokes person, and nice commentary of your surroundings. Nice bit of km's for the season. Too fast for my liking, LOL. Could ride all day for me without ever feeling it, just love it and been doing it 40 years. Keep up the good work, honesty and integrity come to mind with your style!

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Mitch! Thanks for the kind words brother. Glad you appreciate the commentary! Stay tuned for some more videos to end off our season. Cheers, Jesse

[@patgenier1965]

So Awesome! Thanks for the Vid! Cochrane is my home town. I grew up on the Genier Loop. Dan The groomer man is my relative. So good to see the trails again. Your dad is right about the old trails. Going from one buddys camp to another on single track trails. Thats how we mostly rode before the OFSC came along. I now live and work 3 and 4 provinces west but I just snowcheked a sled for next year and hoping to take it out there and finally check out Floods landings menu. I`ve never been. Was great to see Calhoun Fire tower. My Brothers took me up there in March 2020. Thanks again. Cochrane is a big part of me. I`m very grateful for your Videos. Have a great summer . I`m looking forward to your adventures next year. PS , Your dad is a BadAss rider!! Cheers

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Pat! My pleasure bud. Glad you enjoyed it. Such a small world eh?! Congrats on the new sled. Floods Landing is just awesome and the food is delicious. Cochrane is like a second home to me and I come as often as I can. 4 trips to Cochrane from Toronto this season lol. Haha my dad is most definitely a badass. At 65 i still cant keep up to him! Have a great summer brother. Cheers, Jesse

[@1111111idiot]

I have seen all your video's this season. You explain it very well when you say it's a sad thing when the season comes to an end. There are many times when you are out in the woods and you sort of become part of the wilderness. Its so beautiful. All the best to you boys and I will be looking forward to seeing what you post during the summer. (I always wonder what you are enjoying at the breakfast table when its way cold out) All the best Jesse.

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Ray! Wow glad you are enjoying the videos and thanks so much for supporting the channel! It means a lot. Not to dissapoint but we don't really post much during the summer just because guys aren't really interested. We tried last summer with some gear reviews and even a fishing video and we actually lost subscribers. That being said, we have 6 more videos we are releasing over the next few weeks until the end of April to end of the season! Have a great summer brother. Cheers, Jesse

@@sledaddicz I love Pike and my Dad and a few of my Uncles and I used to drive northeast of Wa Wa and camp out and enjoy Walleye and Pike. (Late 1970's) - ya I know you fellows look down on people like us for enjoying those fish. Anyway take care of yourself.

[@sledaddicz]

[@mikeguliz]

Thats a nice bypass always go to cochrane never saw that awesome winter got my dirt bike out already if you ride trail in summer give me a ring have a great summer cheers🤙

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Mike! Ya I have been to cochrane many times and never ridden those bypasses. The locals know all the spots! I'm actually more of a cottager and boater in the summer but I do tear it up on a quad from time to time! Have a good summer brother. Cheers, Jesse

[@jasonbrushett3]

Jesse man what an awesome end to your season. Love your channel!!!!!! Kenny is rockin the Assault they are awesome machines.Enjoy the time with your dad.My son is 19 and gave up riding a couple of seasons ago and I miss him.Cars and girls you know.Your video reminded me of all the yrs we rode together. He was still in diapers on the front on my old Indy XC 600 when he started.I look forward to your summer videos. You wont be the only one thinking of snowmobiling during July Haha. Remember a while back I mentioned Maine .I think you and Mike ought to check it out next season

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Jason! Glad your loving the channel brother. Kenny is definitely a pro. Riding with my dad is awesome and I do it as much as I can. Glad to know I won't be alone thinking about sleds when sweating my ass off lol. And in terms of Maine, we will definitely look into it! Cheers, Jesse

[@youareright5431]

Everyone I know that really does a lot of Riding had given up on the studs stuff! Too many heat exchangers poked,my Buddies Yamaha took out more than just his heat exchangers 🤔🤔I know the ice rippers aren't the same as far as grip but my ice Ripper is going on season 4 and is still in beautiful condition!! Almost 5000 miles on it! And it's nice knowing I'm not going to throw a stud or tear something up.... Love your videos and with the conditions you guys run in I can't see you needing more than an ice Ripper 🤔🤔🤔

[@sledaddicz]

Hey buddy! So... after riding with studs all my life, I have never once had a stud pull through. At the end of last season it was my first, but the stud didn't actually rip thru, it ripped a full chunk off the track. The backers I use make a pull through almost impossible. 13,000 kms on that track when the clip ripped, and it was end of season really icy and hard riding. I could never own a sled without studs but thats just me. Cheers, Jesse

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your passion- truly enjoyed seeing trails/scenery and your narrative. Stay safe and we’ll see you soon(ish).

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Colleen! Our pleasure. So glad you enjoyed it. Can't wait to be back up there in December to help open the trails back up! Cheers, Jesse

[@devilman6972]

Another great video, thanks for such a great job putting together all these videos this year Jesse and Mike. Would love the opportunity to ride with you guys sometime. Enjoy the summer and see you next winter. 🍻

[@sledaddicz]

Hey buddy. Glad you liked it! It's our pleasure. We love producing content for everyone to enjoy and learn something from! Stay tuned for videos for the remainder of this month. From cleaning, to summarizing, sled reviews and sled battles, lots more to come! Stay tuned. Cheers, Jesse

[@TheJrschaefer]

Dude. 13k amazing. Got 3400mi here in northern WI. Would to come ride with you guys, never rode in Canada.

[@patgenier1965]

Head up to Cochrane. Polar Bear Riders and their friends will take care of you.

[@sledaddicz]

I second that Pat! As you can see Jeff in lots of our videos, our go to spot in Ontario is Cochrane. Great atmosphere in a small town, and table top highways in every direction!

[@sledaddicz]

Haha yep I definitely had a great season! Have a good summer brother. Cheers, Jesse

[@BCJ371]

Awesome videos all season guys!

[@sledaddicz]

Thanks Bryan! We aren't done yet. Still 6 more videos for the month of April to end off, including cleaning, summarization, full season sled reviews and an 850 polaris vs 850 skidoo battle! Cheers, Jesse

[@mattcan69]

@@sledaddicz Looking forward to them !! bring it on 🤙

[@MrThe3zs]

my guess is you have a dirty bendix. I am having a similar issue you had here. would be a good summer video possibly? good luck!

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Chris! I thought that too. The bendix was actually broken and replaced under warranty. Cheers, Jesse

[@MrThe3zs]

@@sledaddicz Really weird for a new sled. still a good vid. Great job this year

[@chrisking6911]

was wondering what each of you accomplished for mileage this year. also what are you planning to ride next year?

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Chris! As mentioned in the video, Mike put around 7000 kms on this season and I put around 13000 kms on. Next season I will still be on my 22 xrs and Mike is keeping the Mach Z plus spring checking a 23 xrs 850 with smart shox. Cheers, Jesse

[@charliemenchenton2503]

Lol who’s that goofy guy at the start of the video Hey Eric

[@sledaddicz]

Yes Eric was on the right. On the left was my dad.. why goofy? - Jesse

[@charliemenchenton2503]

Just joking around went up with Eric to Fraserdale and back this year and we did the single track trails too even had lunch trail side Eric had his expedition loaded up

[@sledaddicz]

@@charliemenchenton2503 oh haha that's awesome! It's amazing how many snacks and beverages Eric can fit on that sled lol. Cheers, Jesse

[@jackdebear910]

hey hows kenny like his helmet?

[@sledaddicz]

Hey Jack! He actually really likes the mission. The only problem he has is with the visor cord. He finds it extremely finicky and sometimes the cord needs to be in a very specific position to send power to the visor. Cheers, Jesse

[@jasonbrushett3]

Wanted to ask what happened to your track? I was thinking of running that backer and stud setup for less chance of pullout but now I'm not sure.Did you get hooked up on a stump or rock?

[@sledaddicz]

Definitely still the best setup to go to. I just redid my new track with the exact same setup. It was a fluke. In 30,000 kms with this setup I have never had that happen. It wasn't a pull out. The stud must have caught a stump and the studs/backers are so strong it ripped the track. Any other stud/backer combo the stud would have pulled through and thrown a hole in the heat exchanger. Cheers, Jesse

[@jasonbrushett3]

@@sledaddicz thank you for that.That setup definitely will be going on my 23' Renegade
