Sorry for the black screen in the video from 19:15-19:26

[@800rmkpro]

Anyword on what the secondary noise was? Heard it on a few 23s now

[@rileyhansen7299]

Sounds like belt slip to me

[@stevetrojano1595]

My sled made that noise when the secondary rollers were broken. I wonder if maybe something was stuck and then freed up over the course of the day??

[@CraigVanSickleAK]

Appreciate you sharing the ups and downs throughout the day. For those of us that ride; we identify. For those that are new it provides a great perspective on the sport and what to expect.

[@MuskokaFreerider]

I try to share it all. It’s all about the adventure, not just the highlight reel

[@actionjack84]

Listen. This channel is like crack for the subscribers. Those of us who cannot ride every day of the winter are living vicariously through this channel. This is part of my winter daily routine. Once you start the season you cannot go a day without a video without a damn good excuse. Christmas, you say? Uh uh. Save a little snippet and make a little short video and schedule to post round 6am on the days you don't make a full release. That is all. Thank you.

[@timzakes5425]

100% the best way to describe it

[@drymillsfarms9139]

Best Christmas gift is a new upload from Matt! Hope you have a great season dude. I look forward to Al the killer content that’s to come

[@Lynx_0nPawssss]

It's good to see the older style filming with the commentary. Just riding, no jumps, flips, just riding . LOVED It!!!

[@MuskokaFreerider]

Some days we do this others we show the action, all depends on the day!

[@Grizzlybaer1]

LETS GO!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!

[@henryvanommeren9617]

Even without the audio, still the best sledding videos to watch anytime! Love yr merch too, wear mine almost everyday.👌

[@snmcontrol2979]

Been watching for about 3 years now never missed one yet! Love the videos muskoka keep ‘em rollin!

[@jodypierson3137]

I still can’t believe how much snow those sleds can get through, pretty amazing

[@joelaichner3025]

The Snowmobile Lawn Dart ! NICE !

[@graveltravelcanada]

Watching these videos while having my morning dump....life is back to normal. Glad your back for another season.

[@davespargo5944]

Yeah, some of his line choices will help push out the morning dump....

[@cjjenson8212]

I said this last year when you doo'd fresh deep. Today I'm skiing!!! Tomorrow I'll ride. Anytime in the snow is a magical day. Happy boxing day!

[@Jarrettc24]

Double check your chain tension in the Chain case. Some of the g5s showing up the chain tension has been super loose causing a grinding noise on take off.

[@MuskokaFreerider]

I tightened it and it still did it

[@wesfree8255]

I know of 3 gen 5’s with a loose chain case. I have put 4 full turns on mine in the first 200 miles. Might change the oil as well. Mine was straight silver after 200 miles

[@208SledHead]

Why am I getting the impression that Doo rushed these sleds out the door? I'm seeing random problems with the G5's quite frequently now

[@brianfrisselle5227]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has to knock off the rust at the beginning of the season. Grateful to have the Freerider back!

[@enim83]

My wife and inlaws are sick in bed this morning so myself and the little guy got up alone and voila, your videos are back. Perfect Christmas morning.

[@sp4ce464]

First of the season boy

[@Braaapoholic]

Happy braaapping!

[@adamkroeker6800]

I was there yesterday too and had the exact same day. The old tracks weren’t quite covered and mounds of super deep clouds of snow here and there. Impossible to predict what the sled was gunna do. Super hard to ride. I’ve never felt so useless and out of shape. Still good times tho. “Maybe I shouldn’t have dropped down here” hahaha. Classic. Saw a half dozen remotely triggered class 1 slides let go. Anything with a convex roll that was steep enough and near a creek. Heads up to everyone about that.

[@jeffpierce3436]

Ready for the season! I would love to hear your thoughts on the Gen 5 vs. 4 ? Happy holidays to you both 🎉

[@humaneye7069]

I’ve heard a lot of people love the new chassis’s compared to the g4, skinnier and more playful

[@MuskokaFreerider]

I’ll get more in to it in a future video!

[@hankbingham9299]

When is the R9 going to be there?

[@eliskrutrok9070]

NEW sled content could not make this day any better the new sled sounds mean😈🤌

[@SalemOG]

Very smart day to upload first vid, high quality content

[@joelaichner3025]

It’s All in the Hips ! Steering !

[@summitdts7696]

Seeing you guys struggle definitely make me feel better about how bad I did last week haha.

[@MuskokaFreerider]

That’s just how it goes some days haha

[@GoproGuys99]

The wierd clutch grinding sound could also just be your track tention.... Pretty quick and easy thing check while you're out there. Might keep happening for the first few rides, I would do that quick test before tearing apart the clutches! Same sound coming from my 2023 Polaris tightened the track and no more bad noises.

[@carterrees5541]

Accidentally ripped the front end of my artic cat f7 off trying to get it ready for the season😫 . Great start of the season😅

[@mikeybaron9177]

Refreshed my feed like 3 times and yours was still the first vid to pop up👌

[@ericosborne5485]

Awesome first video. I did get out for a ride today but of a very different type. Buffalo NY here. We’ve experienced a disastrous storm for 3 days straight , 60-70mph winds, subzero temperatures with 0 visibility and blizzard snow fall. We’re buried. many without power and heat since Friday. The city and surrounding areas are like war zones abandoned cars everywhere..I spent today going through my entire neighborhood, stopping and asking everyone I saw outside or in their cars trying to get warm if they needed help, water/supplies.. or medical attention. Thank you for the video.. it helped me disassociate from this reality for a moment..

[@MuskokaFreerider]

Yeah I’ve seen a bit from it, looks crazy

[@paulbowker8347]

Having a coffee Christmas morning watching FreeRider videos, awesome. Funny how it happens bro, first ride, always a rusty buzz hahha . Have fun ripping, and yes the most snow i have seen around here for awhile, riding real rusty tooooo.....

[@colindavid9984]

Check your secondary if the rollers broke, if they did see if the fett brothers racing rollers are the same for the turbos, there a fiber material instead of a plastic. The stock one break when you hear the clunk when you go from reverse to forward hard

[@matthewdavidmunson]

These are the best snowmobile videos hands down good times with good dudes!

[@Spooky4815]

Best snowmobiling chanel out there.

[@ThebadMAN747]

I was exhausted just watching, wow.

[@greatalaska6429]

OK I'm not alone! First day we got 3 foot of baseless super fluff and I couldn't ride to save my life! Boy that thing stands right up in the deep stuff, keep up the great work bud.

[@glenncollins8000]

Merry Xmas Matt, Thanks for your mellow disposition when riding and looking at at every thing like its only a first world problem.

[@japhethbonnema]

Most relatable vid yet!

[@seakfpv6069]

Those first rides are always a re-learning curve

[@davidbjerrum6178]

central nebraska. a dusting that blew and made some drifts in ditches. thats it. but was able to ride for a bit yesterday on both sleds. thats whats nice about old sleds, dont need much snow to keep slides lubricated and cool. plays heck on carbides tho. lol luv your vids

[@RAM-19]

Merry Xmas to all Best Xmas gift today is already here...Muskoka freerider and my morning coffee....just getting ready to go ice fishing...and now I want to go sledding...lol... Glad to have you back on the snow Matt....can't wait to see where you go this year... From my very snowy windy igloo on the mountain in alberta Canada 🇨🇦 D.

[@Yanniridesbc]

Let’s go do hyped 3rd year of watching have been waiting for the new mod for ever merry Christmas

[@johntreptau3935]

I was anticipating a x-mas morning video! Perfect!! Absolutely love watching your videos and all the content.

[@davespargo5944]

The guy is good to us in so many ways....

[@CalgaryDynastar]

Early season first rides, deep conditions and shit visibility all make for a good challenge. Good to see you boys back on the sleds 🤘🏾

[@jiggyquinn5635]

Most excellent Christmas present! Thank you so much. Seems combining a first of the season ride with a first impression of a new whip video sends kind of a convoluted message. I purchased an unclaimed g5 and have rode the flats of Mn. I love it so far. Watching you in the mountains has me apprehensive about a upcoming trip to Island Park and West Yellowstone. Stay safe enjoy and know your video efforts are greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

[@davespargo5944]

Just my opinion ( and in no way am I trying to rag on you), but seeing Matts first ride (and acclimation to new sled) thru some pretty snotty stuff (and he does have a talent for finding the snot), and how it handled it, I would think that it would have given some confidence to you seeing first hand what the sled is capable of. Wishing you a Merry Christmas from Colorado. Side note, greetings from a former Minnesotan, Brooklyn Park to be exact.

[@actionjack84]

Seen that clutch side panel broken by a few different youtubers already. I'd be packing stuff to field repair that but I don't think we'll have a G5 in our immediate group.

[@etothenphysdude206]

So that snow you are in is from the same system that dumped 1/2" of freezing rain on my property bringing hundreds of branches down. Bu the storm we just had dumped 5 and 1/2" of rain in 36 hours. Given that it will be warm, and assuming 20-10% WBV (Water by Volume) snow that will be 27-55". I don't know how much will make it up there, but I would expect a solid whack from the incoming system.

[@flomastah]

Thanks for sharing the struggles! Excited the season is here and looking forward to your impressions of the Gen 5. Merry Christmas!

[@brpmd]

New screen looks awesome, sled also seems more punchy… excited for the rest of the season and the daily vlogs… thanks Matt… curious about your first impressions of the gen5..

[@208SledHead]

I like how there isn't a single bit of skepticism in regards to the clutch and panel breaking on the first ride. If this was a Polaris, the comments section would be a slaughterhouse. But since it's a Doo then it's acceptable/ignored. I'm seriously questioning Doo's claim to "185hp" too, cuz every video I've seen of them has the skis in the air. They look more like 190/195 to me - which is absolutely insane. New screen looks great, hopefully you don't lose cell service and are able to keep track of your buddies throughout the season. Still think the manufactures should set their egos aside and work on a compatible system between the 3. Merry Christmas Matt and Chloe!!

[@jessecourteau9106]

Agreed there. Heard that clutch cover panel on the gen 5 is a complete piece of bleep.

[@etothenphysdude206]

Rust, in Alaska it was always the third day when I would come around, same day my thumb muscles got in shape and stopped hurting also. Wish we had finger throttles back then.

[@jacobbabb7939]

haha so that’s what it looked like up top. seemed like it was nuking when i drove though town before the pass closed. excited for what the next week brings. the trip starts tomorrow!!!

[@kh5063]

Totally relatable, important to remember you are on a completely different sled as well, a lot of changes.

[@wozow182]

No problem on the GoPro and what not.

[@D3thM3tal]

Great video - I was leaning with you in my chair when you were going through the trees in the first half, lol.

[@greeneman99710]

Awesome first video of the new season

[@TurboLundin]

He's back!! Ready for another winter🔥

[@davespargo5944]

Welcome back Boss......Nice little present seeing this video. Even getting paid to watch it (double time and a half-holiday pay) because the other boss man has me for the day. Merry Christmas to you and yours.....

[@joelaichner3025]

Easy to Load ! Nice !

[@alainturcotte9843]

Merry Christmas Matt!! Nice to see you back riding this season. Looking forward to all the great content.

[@creamsupreme]

So hype to see you back for another season

[@bengrant8890]

Our first ride was full of stops. So out of shape and the rust. I don’t feel so bad now. Thanks Matt.

[@wadebartel6156]

Glad you made it out! can't wait for this season's videos!!

[@joshuamacnabb2725]

And we’re back!!! Let’s go!! Muskoka morning for Christmas! 🎉

[@geoffbragg3331]

So stoked for you, Merry Christmas Matt!

[@jakoblind3122]

[@erkka7607]

Waited for this quiete time

[@SledNutHamy]

Merry Christmas Matt and Chloe! Good to see ya back at it!

[@MrArcticPOWER]

Boy I was waiting for that one, watching your Instagram stories and wondering which morning I was gonna wake up to a video. What a nice Christmas gift!

[@jubinpayandeh26]

Merry Christmas. I have been eagerly anticipating your trip west and the start of another season.

[@rodneygiesbrecht1837]

Merry Christmas Matt. First thing I did was check for a video this morning

[@codybolt1193]

my favourite sledding youtuber, cannot wait to watch all your great videos, merry christmas and a happy new year🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@ncparks2000]

I had a noise similar to that on my Polaris. Ended up being water in the chain case that froze. Once it’s melted it was fine but over night it would freeze.

[@Ride4life311]

First mod I do to my skidoo is a MVM belt drive. I still cannot believe skidoo has not gone to a factory belt drive. Just blows me away! It’s gotta be coming soon in the next couple years🤞

[@mikehd3904]

Got the first lil ride in yesterday 👍 bout time

[@Suulut12]

Merry Christmas from Greenland, Sisimiut! Love your videos🎄🤘🏻🤘🏻🏔️

[@minter_fab_mafia]

Good to see the new setup out on the snow!!! You get it figured out!!

[@unclegeek]

Good to see you back at it. Have a great season!

[@robmcsheffrey5185]

Not a bad first ride. I can’t wait to see the rest of the year.

[@royalboy011]

[@trx450rlove2]

Favorite sled channel on KZbin!love the build,how did you find it worked compared to the G4

[@MuskokaFreerider]

Need some more seat time before I get in to too much detail

[@normferguson2769]

Good to work out those early season kinks!

[@normferguson2769]

I drove through Revy on the way to the Island at the start of that big dump. I was happy to make it through the series of cars and transport trucks in the ditch.

[@jonathanbeaumont2183]

Hell yeah new sled video. Great job Matt happy holidays. Have a great one. Can't wait to watch all the videos

[@brandendoyle1784]

Awesome job. Glad ur back

[@whiskeytango6706]

merry christmas!! first freerider video with some action..hell yea!!

[@anthonyVR1BOOST]

Merry Christmas buddy another great start to the season.

[@henryjones863]

Merry Christmas! Welcome back! Appreciate that everyone is a bit rusty on the first ride!

[@bigchaloopa]

Merry Christmas to you too. Awesome first ride

[@TheBenDaBen]

Finally waited a year for some quality vids, living my dream through you. The sounds it was making sounds like the clutch gripping/engaging a little too hard but I am not sure since its just video audio. I know when my friends rebuilt sleds it can be a bit jarring/janky with a lot of new parts breaking in.

[@coledean1377]

Merry Christmas and stoked the vids are going again!

[@dannyauger7223]

Haven't even watched the show but whatever. Just happy we got a vid for xmas. Thx vm matt. Merry xmas

[@tylermiskey6005]

[@assiniboineassassins8142]

Great Xmas present. Thanks Matt. Happy new year to you guys. We’re heading to fernie for our first trip in a couple days. Hope to be in Revy soon. Keep rippin and ride safe.

[@minibikemadman]

man thats so wild how deep it is. I would love to ride a sled there.

[@2cracked387]

Merry Christmas really appreciate the video you did an amazing job on the wrap and I hope your sled doesn't have any further noises/issues.
