[@skidoosonetop2009]

Best yt channel out there

[@MuskokaFreerider]

🙌

[@joel387ktm]

Matt is the most genuine and relatable dude in the whole industry its why his channel is the biggest and no one deserves it more congrats on all your sucess 👍👍👌

[@rjracing12]

I’ve lost so much sleep over this sled it feels like I own it lmao

[@MuskokaFreerider]

😂😂 you and me both

[@Clacka89]

So you got no life is what you’re saying? Power lame🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rjracing12]

@ pretty sure I’m full of life lol what’s your deal?

[@rjracing12]

@ keyboard warrior I get it

[@Clacka89]

@@rjracing12just think it’s funny how obsessed with other people’s lives people are. Sure I enjoy watching KZbin, I definitely don’t lose sleep over some else’s videos I don’t even know🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 if I was a keyboard warrior I would talked actual shit clown. Don’t be sad you don’t have a life, get all defensive. Get out and do shit and don’t be a lame!

[@CalgaryDynastar]

27:13 the roost from that thing is hilarious, reminds me of the old jet skis that shot the water straight up behind the rider. That thing is super cool, glad to see its riding well.

[@sdsswanson]

Yeah I think he should leave it lol it’s bad ass.

[@YetiShots]

needs the snow flap haha.

[@chadgale9305]

I like his mysterious giggle, knowing he has a monster under him.

[@nilsnilsnilsify]

LOL @ Caleb chriping away at you while you wrench on the sled in the parking lot 🤣

[@denisbrisebois7658]

Best first 6 minutes of Matt’s videos so far this year … Thanks Caleb 😆😆😆😉.

[@NobleLeather]

That sled is cheat mode! Never seen something so nimble through the trees on your channel. I want one...

[@nicolaidolmseth3316]

Absolutt awesome sled i have been itching to see it in action. And we dont care about the roost just leave the back as it is now. Looks perfekt. And we wanna see a lot more of the sled

[@MuskokaFreerider]

Will get some more after the next big dump!

[@nicolaidolmseth3316]

@MuskokaFreerider cant wait for it 😁👍🏿 love from NORWAY 🇸🇯🇸🇯

[@Jacob_5mod]

Very happy for you! All that hard work over so many months looks to have paid off well.. that thing absolutely rips and makes things easy. Can’t wait for full send on it

[@GreenDwarve]

Let's gooo!! We have all been waiting to see this thing rip

[@two_toned_rooster]

As a past 175 owner, (not a cool mod though) I think the “well that was too easy, let’s find something more challenging” phase is mandatory. Every new sled has it but something about knowing you have *all of the track* is pure trouble 😂

[@Nate_Morrison223]

Waited so long for this vid!! 😱 awesome one Muskoka

[@blizzard71]

Talk about a capable sled ! you did an amazing job on it Matt ~ once you fine tune it , the thing is going to be unstoppable ! Cant wait to see more of it

[@CraigVanSickleAK]

Congrats on getting out on the mod sled! Dawson is hilarious, what a good guy.

[@MuskokaFreerider]

Just a chill guy. We love Dawson haha

[@TheHandPresents]

Its so cool you can just jump on any sled and shred, that`s talent!! Great edit!

[@n.kain21]

Hell yeah dude, I’m obsessed with this sled. You did a hell of job man. Love this channel.

[@actionjack84]

Its really amazing how easy you guys all make that riding look. I have all these videos in my head when I get to the mountains (once a year) and then wind up over the bars or in a tree well 😂stuck and gassed.

[@jasoncook1276]

So fun to watch you guys romp the technical stuff. Excellent content Matt!!

[@jerrydelyea5820]

Any one else see at precisely 24:20. When Matt says I’ll just go here and looks right. Something moving in the bush. Sweet sled, and your laugh is fun bro, cheers

[@skullproductions9496]

ya its a sled if u go frame by frame u can tell its a sled

[@jerrydelyea5820]

Oh it is, ok lol. Tnx man

[@0976653Davi0713]

You can use the skidoo mudflap that mounts to the top of the tunnel with Linq basically using it as a flexible tunnel extension

[@AnonAnon-e7r]

Just like I thought @ 27:14 that snow was almost giving you an enema shooting straight up your backside, but man what a beast good job! Almost reminds me of a Jet Ski roost.

[@jimeverden2244]

Finally!!! You got this Gerri pumped watchin' that. Of course I'd probably have a stroke if I tried that kinda riding...but damn, that thing rips. Thx Matt !!! Going moose hunting on the expedtion in the morning...pew, pew 💪🇨🇦👊

[@ridersride1]

That roost was intense. Looked like a rolling blizzard. 175 unstoppable

[@MuskokaFreerider]

Basically like camouflage

[@tallboy6911]

​@@MuskokaFreeriderI don't think blinding the person behind you is considered camouflage.

[@trinitybrian2807]

Dope that calebs got some film, all yall make some really good fun. Appreciate it as always.

[@RaceRebuildRepeat]

Insane levels of respect for your skills after doing some mountain riding in Idaho. Great work out there 💪🏻

[@trevorderouchie9873]

You guys must be somewhat close to Calebs’ area? Would be a fun collaboration! @provenprogression

[@badgermetal]

I think you guys did great on that trip. I just got my first mountain sled and itching to bring out.

[@koltonbarney]

the way it just walks over everthying is insane!

[@MaxKleinert-q6n]

Bro just changed snowmobiling history with this thing I bet companies are going to try and make one to sell now

[@boddysurfer]

There's a 100 guys in BC running 175 mod sleds. Matt's sled is impressive, but they have been around for the last decade.

[@cerozha]

Skidoo and polaris just dropped the 175's. In my opinion they should still offer it as a snow check

[@MuskokaFreerider]

Definitely not changing history here but the 175 life was dying out for sure. Everyone wants a 146 these days so they can do bow ties and hop overs, which is fine. Leaves the difficult access areas for guys like me haha Ski doo will probably bring back the 175 option, there’s still demand for them.

[@relaxingnature2617]

the massive snow roost actually looks extra epic -- its fun to watch

[@HebbsT800]

Good to see it working I spend whole time watching your videos leaning back and forth to miss the trees lol

[@trevorderouchie9873]

Funny you say that, I watch most of these videos while riding my stationary bike, and I often duck or slam on my brakes 🤦‍♂️

[@HebbsT800]

@ haha 😂

[@Fatonzzz]

It’s true the roost from the short tunnel makes it hard for us to see what you’re doing. However, the insane roost is badass. I would leave it lol.

[@haydenbethers3599]

I was so stoked to see this vid pop up on my recommended

[@samiam4240]

Wild sled...just keeps going...and going...and going... AND: any oil is better than no oil.

[@northern_sweden_hunting4265]

Damn. Time is 1:25 am. Guess I aint going to bed just yet. Need to see this

[@jaysonsorensen594]

Dawson seems like the coolest dude to ride with. Like anyone who gets stuck he helps out

[@MuskokaFreerider]

He’s just a chill guy

[@208AdventureRuss]

Your sled is super sick! Good job, man. It looks like a ton of fun!

[@timburris2032]

Oh my gosh. That sled is gonna spoil you from any other shorter track sleds!

[@Ijaodd]

That's insane. Looking good out there. I'm trying to convince my dad to go out with me later this year.

[@enim83]

Finally! Ive been checking almost hourly since the teaser

[@jatimpe]

Ride this sled on your next deep deep day. You will get to push it to its limits. Love my 175 expert turb.

[@dustindoherty8590]

You're unstoppable now Matt! Worth the effort I'd say 👍

[@relaxingnature2617]

kids crazy carpet material is a good stiff material to make snow spray shields at the end of the tunnel -- its not brittle in the cold -- weve used it for many sled projects including light weight custom hoods

[@R1Kyle]

How many years have I been telling you to build a 175. They just make you giggle for all the little chutes you can just chew up. But then one gets silly then goes for the big ones.

[@gabrielqcredneck7634]

Keep it up Matt ! Loving the videos as always 👌🤟

[@MuskokaFreerider]

👊👊

[@TechyCB]

Yessss the mod sled is out!! Love the videos man! Keep it up, the turbo sounds great through the hood!

[@galensteria4790]

That was epic.... I loved the bow ties there was nothing but flying snow u total disappeared 😂😂... thats an awesome build.... I love seeing things modded .. keep em coming....

[@big_ute]

Im insanely jealous of the sheer amount of snow you guys have, we here and Alaska barely have enough to fart around on the trails let alone have some serious fun. Shits lame. Last 3 winters there was easily 4' plus on the ground at this time.

[@davidbrennan5]

That sled sure looks capable. Tunnel extension is easy just get an aluminum sheet and have it bent up with a brake press. Mark it where to need to cut it and cut it to length. You will most likely need a custom longer snow-flap, that should help with the cooling.

[@taimanivong1933]

Matt you just made a new standard for mountain sled. Keep up with great work.

[@Theinsighthub4]

Sleds wicked need tons of videos of you riding it and pushing the limits on it can’t wait for Shute days

[@dupes_1618]

Trucker mudflap with the chrome girl!

[@asphaltlou]

So cool. Definitely could tell the sled works good! Love these videos!!!

[@mudbrats]

Amazing job on that beast! Always a good days when you can drive the sled back onto the deck!

[@hermitrob5481]

Essentially issue free in wicked challenging conditions. What an accomplishment. Dope AF Matt

[@cameronmccarr4915]

FINALLY here within 5

[@Rideflylaugh]

@MuskokaFreerider you should extend your tunnel like the Matryx with a snow flap. Easy just customize one to fit and rivet on!! Thanks for the entertainment!

[@chummy22]

Fire me up musky let’s gooooooo I can’t wait for Matt and Dawson to be runnning these crazy mod sleds and Dallas is gunna be on his stock na no wrap leading the pack 😂😂😂

[@MuskokaFreerider]

Hahaha I can’t wait to do the creek to peak on a super deep day. Will have to toss a go pro on Dallas for that one 😂

[@WODT-Dmoney]

Was waiting for a video with this thing ripping! Great build Matt!

[@DEM0Nx667]

Need more of this sled matt, definitely entertaining to watch.

[@haydengeorge2117]

i’ve been waiting to see the sled out and ripping and i hope to see more videos of it in action.

[@coryvinion3331]

That sled is insane! Great build and great video as always.

[@brpmd]

Call that a success Matt!

[@Stacked3403]

That thing is ridiculous 👏 well done matt

[@Ailii999]

Snow coming out of track to your back looks like a jetski on water😂

[@Roesy_850]

This is great video 😂😂 putting arctic cat oil into a skidoo is like stepping into a mine field lol but it's Christmas so it don't matter 😂😂😂😂 6:19

[@farmingnodak]

Wouldn't be a modded sled without having parts from anything and everything.

[@etothenphysdude206]

Woot! Been waiting for this one... :popcorn:

[@Yz4Life]

Can’t wait to see you rip this thing up some drainages. Maybe even take it out when the big iron boys come to bc

[@dannyauger7223]

I bet you feel like Caleb climbing all these crazy lines and just conquering the mtn side. That sled is a wild one. Nice job

[@MuskokaFreerider]

There’s a few of us with these build that need to get out for a gnarly day of cat and mouse just pushing the gnarliest terrain

[@MLGMEATHEAD]

This sled is wild. Can’t wait for prime time season this year. Makes me want to buy a back country sled instead of sticking with my trail sled (rx-1). Won’t be nearly as fast but I’d like to not pull out 630 lbs in just 1’ of powder

[@GilbyLandscaping]

Wrenchin' in the lot you know she's Coors built, youuuuuuu bet lol. That 175 is a damn impressive tool for that deep Revy type of snow..

[@noahrunnells5755]

You should put one of the little like lynx snow flaps that go in the rails on it to help keep the snow down a little I bet it would make a pretty big difference

[@theaviator06]

Carbon Fibre blocks antenna signals in planes too. It’s a real pain.

[@W8iHav2P]

10:32 - love the blood on the hose clamp 😂

[@allagashman69]

been waiting for this 175 vid since you started

[@Freeride600]

That thing is wild. absolute cheat code.

[@FORDEVR]

So fun to watch. 🎉🎉🎉

[@owenarthur1396]

Been waiting for this video!!!!!

[@michaellapalice3068]

New build works great , steep lines , great video as always .

[@sundogtune]

to extend your tunnel cover a little bit was thinking the head ( or scoop) of a plastic shovel that is 15 or 16 in. wide might work. you could cut , to shape it. just leave enough of the side to give it rigidity.and easy to remove

[@thecitiots]

Dang like a ladder with a turbo🤘

[@gavinw4165]

can you please add similar exhaust set ups to your other builds, it adds great excitement for the audience

[@MuskokaFreerider]

Personally I think it sounds worse. Sounds like the motor is lugging even though im revving 8000

[@brianquarnstrom2000]

Another awesome day of pow and Muskoka makin it look way too easy. You did awesome mod work and it payed off. ❤

[@jasonb6570]

Today's the day!

[@simonbelanger7842]

For the roost you could do like the timbersled riot snowbikes, they have a snowflap looking thing straight towards the back as part of the back section of the tunnel

[@simonbelanger7842]

Polaris/timbersled Part #5456059

[@_CONNORCRANE_]

Muskoka Video = Automatic like button 🙌

[@deweerd3155]

Need a full review of your build in your shop. Great video

[@devooski4751]

Skidoo brp needs to make a ultralight snowmobile for trail making and mountain trail making. The ultralight trail blazer like this mod. And maybe put your rear bumper bar backer like 6 inches and just add a lightweight plastic cover on it. Or get a longer rear bumper.

[@riverratt8626]

I new the roost was going to get thrown up onto your back, should be an easy fix, also gearing and clutching will really help it out along with the extra hood vents. Sled looks good and I am glad it works great, just save it for the really deep days. Are you just using a helmet head light for coming out at end of day, or a handlebar mount one ? Trail Tech location ?

[@TheBuuurnz]

I wonder if it would be worth your while to get one of those little snow deflectors the gen 4 Lynxs had that bolted to the back wheels for icier trail days

[@hampuspamqvist8064]

That thing rips✊️✊️💯

[@HRDY_SOLUTIONS]

glad to see the mod sled out and ripping

[@truecrimeyo]

simply put a summit rear flap, looks good and probably enough to stop the storm, try one from your other sled. you can probably make the thing carbon. the can sound stock most of the time, i like the result overall, you will destroy the chute with this thing. what size rear wheel is it stock?

[@Elias-h7q]

That thing rips! Snow sucks in mn right now not even 1 foot.

[@AlainAlkorta-e4w]

Make a removable tunnel extension with linq mounts just like the removable snow flap. Then you can take it off with a shorter track

[@bennettprice9693]

Best christmas eve ever

[@gavingamble5895]

Carbon fiber removable extension. Little curve with radius .and a aluminum bumper that is rivited to tunnel for moving when stuck or towing.

[@snobiwonkenobi]

That thing is insane! Thanks for another great vid! Merry Christmas!

[@tom-arneutne5353]

Finaly 🤩 just awsom to se that mod build in the snow

[@aidendelint]

I’ve been waiting to watch this video I know it’s gonna be sick asf

[@teachdougie8139]

I know you were already taking in a lot of “sensory data” to try to keep track of with all the changes, but what were your thoughts on the Gripper skis on the skidoo?

[@joebolt9433]

I've been waiting to see that badass sled Matt awesome video Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas

[@kellycrawford6133]

That thing looks like it jumps foreword and quickly gets foreword momentum on steep stuff.. the lightweight stuff must make a huge difference! It’s hard to justify the price of all the lightweight stuff but watching it on snow makes it seem worth it!

[@MuskokaFreerider]

It gets on top of the snow extremely fast between the lightweight and 175. The mods were expensive but you can build an “affordable lightweight build” for about 8-10k where you drop 40lbs

[@kellycrawford6133]

@ 👍 very interested in seeing it in different snow conditions and different track lengths under it as well to see how it performs… this lightweight stuff is cool and like how you did some different stuff than everyone.. keep it up man you are killing it !
