2019 Upper Michigan Snowmobile Trail Riding

[@IamDoctorJekyll]

Fast, smooth and beautiful... it doesn't get a whole lot better than that...

[@MattMcHugh257]

As fun as it gets! Have you ridden the Upper Michigan trails?

[@iloveyoualot4237]

power and a mix with trails is where it’s at my friend

[@MattMcHugh257]

I love you a lot so great!

[@susangiggie7996]

Love your LXT,just love it!...I rode a Indylite 340 gt for years and it worked way better than it should have. I used Klotz and Amsoil and kept it in top shape. At the warming shack some would ask what I was riding ; after telling them, some would some would give an unimpressed " oh ya..." .Then I would just say o but she's tuned.

[@MattMcHugh257]

Thansk for the love! That awesome!

[@ModedeScode]

Is the part of the trail around the 5:00 mark one way? Askn cause it looks like it gets super narrow there

[@MattMcHugh257]

You're right, it is quite narrow there! But no, this is all two way trails. Very important to keep that right ski on the edge of the trail.

[@maninthehills7134]

Videos like this fit perfectly with Phish jams in my opinion. Adjust volume accordingly. Paragliding, motorcycles, skiing, snowmobiles, outdoor fun like that. (edit: most GoPro clips I think)

[@MattMcHugh257]

So true! Thanks for watching!

[@MattMcHugh257]

So true! Thanks for watching!

[@thomastreanor6520]

I enjoyed this video. I actually watched the whole thing.

[@MattMcHugh257]

Thomas Treanor Glad you liked it! There’s a lot more on my channel if you’re looking to watch some more!

[@willieboy8798]

nice ride guy! i would have had to take a few short cuts...lol

[@MattMcHugh257]

Thanks! Definitely do my fair share of short cuts haha.

[@willieboy8798]

@@MattMcHugh257 lol edit perhaps some videos on types of rides....

[@joehollywood568]

Trails look amazing

[@rzl07375]

I know this is labeled a slow sled but I dont see how theres a need to go much faster than this on the trails.

[@MattMcHugh257]

Yea on tighter trails this thing is plenty fast. It's super slow when you get to the long straights and open lakes.

[@carterparrish5630]

What kind of sled is it? And where in Michigan are you at I’m going the day after Christmas to Bergland!

[@10r-Zx]

@@carterparrish5630 late reply but it's an indy 550 lxt I think

[@MYOBASSUME]

Looks awesome, I am from downstate but thinking about purchasing my first snowmobile. What do you think of an '05 Arctic Cat F7?

[@MattMcHugh257]

Thanks! I wouldn't buy an arctic cat - I've seen too many of them burn to the ground.

[@MYOBASSUME]

@@MattMcHugh257 ended up getting a 02 skidoo for dirt cheap, one owner, 2K miles up in Flint. Very nice!

[@shagboys2251]

Those trails look great. You should check out the Adirondacks in Old Forge NY. You would love the trails. I have videos posted of it. Great channel

[@MattMcHugh257]

I'll have to check it out! Thanks!

[@waterfowlonehitonebox3697]

So you have an rmk for rippin pow and this for trails?

[@MattMcHugh257]

Yup, and I actually just traded that rmk for a newer SKS, be on the lookout for sick videos this winter!

[@shawnmackinnon7931]

trails seem aweful narrow. do many people crash?

[@MattMcHugh257]

Not that I know of, definitely have had close calls with people that think they own the whole trail coming around corner.

[@Tbone0163]

What trail is that please?

[@MattMcHugh257]

tbone0163 Trail 8 in the UP

[@amodernphoenix]

How fast were we going there?

[@MattMcHugh257]

Average about 40MPH, tops out at 70 something

[@holdenlancon1749]

I'm currently in market to buy a snowmobile for my lake house up north in Wisconsin.

[@MattMcHugh257]

I'm really happy with this Polaris INDY 550 LXT. Fan cooled reliable engine, basic sled that gets the job done for cheap compared to the others out there in the market.

[@stevenmichaud8733]

Kinda looks like our Maine trails, but ours are wider and groomed better !! come visit, you'll see Aroostook county , maine

[@MattMcHugh257]

Would be a great trip I'm sure!

[@JL-gt6bg]

Looks like a blast!

[@MattMcHugh257]

So much fun!

[@joseywales898]

Tall Set Of Snow Trackers Will Fix That Push..

[@MattMcHugh257]

In this video the carbides were well past their lifespan. I have since put new ones on and it rides WAYYY better.

[@mudbrats]

decent!

[@wyattscheerer6469]

U might wanna get som new carbides the copy don’t see to be griping so much

[@MattMcHugh257]

This was the last video before putting new ones on. There was nothing left on them lol, it's like riding on rails now compared to how it was in this video.

[@jmj267]

Must be young. I hope you dont kill someone or yourself.

[@MattMcHugh257]

John jay drott How would I kill someone? I feel like I ride very conservatively on the right side of the trail...

[@jboutdoors9828]

No rmk😂

[@MattMcHugh257]

RMK would be nice!

[@906patriot6]

Trails won't be good this year. Comrade gretchen has made the state run out of $$$. She will most likely take the trail permit $$ and then barely groom

[@MattMcHugh257]

Yea she sounds like a pretty terrible person... we’re going skiing at Indian head later this month and bringing the sleds with for some light trail riding as well. Kinda sucks we won’t be able to bar hop...

[@johnbob4545]

Ya because according to you snowmobiling is now political. LMAO. I heard she hired Mark Torregrossa and by some liberal voodoo was able to make all the big snows blow over to the east coast. Bad year, bad year, except the trails were great. Try again comrade.
