I wish I lived near there, cause I'd be in there for sure, with my old 76 Moto Ski Nuvik 340.

[@Z-Bart]

Love the old mixed gas sleds.

[@unsafe_at_any_speed]

Wow I saw a 73 Moto-Ski F and a Capri of the same year. And an Allouette too. Rare machinery for sure.

[@MrLessgov]

Mmmmmm I can smell the glory 🙌. Love that smell. Great Great post guys

[@jacklucking691]

That is living !!!

[@nealbeach4947]

Other than the modern sledders cluttering up the ride it looks like a lot of fun.

[@joshuawilson5149]

Wow...... so many amazing ol- sleds. So cool. 😎🤙

[@Oscar-mc8gj]

Thanks for posting I really enjoyed it. Think of the hours spent getting these machines into running condition.

The 303 idle… minty

I can smell the smoke from here😏

[@Matt-mo8sl]

73 TNT, 78 Panther, 75 Sno Brut, 84 Phazer.......the 4 sleds I owned back in the day, saw all 4 here.

[@oldtimerf7602]

I want the Scorpion Sidewinder, the Bull whip, the 78 TXC, the 79/80 centurion, and the last Manta.

Awesome!

Good ole days. 🍻🍻🍻.

Not a single Polaris SS 440 in the bunch! It's not a crown vintage sled but I'm beginning to wonder how many were made. The Sprints and Cutlass SS models are so close in appearance that I'm not sure which is which when they're so many rolling by. I also noticed an absence of Polaris Star 250s... any year. No Gemini, no Apollo, no Cobra, no Electra.... some Polaris fans need to get on the ball and represent!

[@kennethgoin628]

Passed on an SS, but I have an Apollo and a Cobra to work on over the summer. 2022 event maybe?

[@sheddski2942]

That was amazing my hats off to those who maintain and cherish the older sledds of days gone by you can see how technology has come along

[@nybergsgarage]

I was keeping my eye out for a massey ski whiz. I do, however have a '78 Polaris Cobra 440. You can see it on my channel if you want.

[@georgeburch1479]

One think I miss about living up north were my sleds

[@kellydragoon604]

Where's the Moto Ski ?

[@stevewight1409]

Not many old mercury's by my eye.....or Kawasakis....prob no dealers in area backing the day

[@AmDrag5]

i bet stores that sell two stroke oil make a killing during this

[@nybergsgarage]

actually, people ride vintage sleds all the time anyway.

[@32degreesretarded62]

@@nybergsgarage thats all we've got. Partially cause I like the vintage stuff but I also cant rationalize dropping $15-$18k on a new sled.

[@nybergsgarage]

@@32degreesretarded62 same here! I love my 1971 ski whiz... And I'd never have that much cash to burn on a modern snow toy anyway!

[@32degreesretarded62]

@@nybergsgarage '87 Jag 440, '96 ZRT 600, '89 Wildcat 650, '89 El Tigre 530, '91 El Tigre 530. Cheap, plentiful and dont have the cost in all of em vs one new one.

[@nybergsgarage]

@@32degreesretarded62 sounds like fun! haha I got most of my sleds given to me because they weren't wanted anymore, like when a neighbor was going to toss his 1978 polaris cobra 440 in the pit and burn it with his garbage!

[@Ethan-ck6iz]

14:38 dog!

[@oldtimerf7602]

Guy on the V-Max at 3:45 has a lot of brass thinking that Yam will live long enough to make it home. God hates a coward!

[@mikekalz6099]

I wonder if they found a bar everyone could stop at?

[@erniepavlisich9199]

There was a beer garden near the end of the ride where a lot of sleds stopped at.
