Jerry has become 8 years younger since last year 💪 One more season and he’s leading the pack! Go Jerry 😍🥇Well done!!!

[@Ishrednh]

This 50 minute edit deserves beer $$. Keep them coming!

[@MuskokaFreerider]

Wow thanks man 🙌🙌

[@stuartlloyd622]

Matt i just realized you have 10k more subscribers then SnoTrax TV. Totally awesome watching you ride into the you tube matrix. Your killing it bro!

[@actionjack84]

Snotrax. Wait let me get my thesaurus and overuse the same obscure synonyms for a half hour. 🤮 Sorry snotrax

[@darreng2639]

It's because Matt is more entertaining then snowtrax

It was meant sarcastically just didn't word it right. I'll do better.

Snotrax is what my teenager calls as "Mid". They are so far up the manufacturers back side it's sad.

[@ctw203]

Hey Matt, been watching for years now and just want to say how great you editing and content is. Never is the volume drastically different, the video quality is top notch, the riding is top notch, the commentary is top notch, the sleds are awesome(the wrap on the 165 doo is the best yet), so thank you for all the work you put in, and the places you take us.

[@gregchapdelaine4889]

37:45 - 48:25 is some of the best snowmobile footage I’ve ever watched. Beautiful. Thanks for a great video and please let us know what happens with his sled. I recently saw an ad for a titanium primary clutch bolt for Polaris sleds and thought “why would anyone need that?”. Now I know!

[@Fatonzzz]

The riding you found while on the recovery mission looked epic!

[@RAM-19]

It's no wonder you are so popular...every day I say "best vid of season "...every day they just get better....dont know how you do it...but a big thanks from someone who only dreams of doing this kind of riding Matt... Freerider all the way... From my very air conditioned (minus 38 without wind chill) igloo on the mountain in grande cache alberta Canada 🇨🇦 D. P.S...BE NICE TO JERRY...HE'S GETTING OLD... "GO JERRY"...US OLD GUYS ARE ROOTING FOR YOU.

[@kushikushi941]

I'm a mountain snowmobiler in Japan. I'm always watching the Free Rider Channel and learning! You guys are so cool! I would love to put a Free Rider sticker on my machine too!

[@Saa45MIV]

Man your dad shreds so hard.. I hope I’m still even riding when I’m his age haha

[@Jedmack]

You and Jason make the best sledding combo 😂

[@257Tony]

Man, sucks so bad to happen to such great guy. Luckily he was with some other good guys to help out. Polaris absolutely has to get this sorted out!

[@galensteria4790]

Another reason I love Matt's videos always willing to go out of the way to help a fellow rider.. also the bridge building was epic everyone working on it saws and shovels..... keep em coming....

[@raypara4036]

Matt. Seeing your dad 3years ago ... gave my 40year old butt encouragement that I can still learn the skills and go out in the backcountry ... Now keeping in mind I only have a 2020 850. 146 backcountry with 1.6 ice cobra ... 2 years worth of learning .. finally made it out to B.C !! It was awesome!! Now I need to upgrade the sled ....or atleast the the track lol Cheers and keep up the best snowmobile content on KZbin!!!

[@randymilton-ploof5071]

My Backcountry is MUCH better with a 16"x2" over the 1.6'' ice , Do it !

[@JasonMcMurray]

This turned out to be a killer day, got the frost bite to prove it.

[@jasonlavery6449]

Man what fun. I haven't been on a snowmobile in thirty years or so. Wow what ways the sleds have changed. Thanks for the awesome videos

[@brski3962]

Pretty cool of you to give buddy a day of riding after a shitty break down, huge thumbs up and respect

[@lonnieknotts450]

Hey Matt Put a rubber band around ur kill switch. It will still work ,but " taps" from limbs won't kill machine. A little Steamboat trick I learned way back when there were no Turbo sleds. I'm 54 now and my kids don't know how hard it is to ride without one in those conditions.

[@MrFF432]

Was shaking my head at how great the shredding footage was after the heli pickup…then I caught your shadow and saw you were filming by hand instead of using Shovel Cam. WTF! That was some Jedi-level framing/panning skill. Awesome work.

[@sean2743]

now this looks like a blast. ive watched so many videos where ppl getting stuck every 5 min . spend half hour digging out doesnt look fun to me.. but this looks amazing . 35:25

[@Goodlord-help]

Thankfully you ride in a good size group, makes those mechanical failures less stressful and you can all help out. I was really hopeful that Polaris had their clutch issues sorted but unfortunately it appears they don't. For the weekend rider this type of failure makes you regret your purchase and this is about having fun, not justifying $1800 heli rescues, down time, trips to the dealer and thanking the good lord above it's still under warranty. Great content, great edits, and thanks for braving the cold to make my Sunday morning awesome!

[@208SledHead]

This is the first clutch I've seen go down this year on the 24's. Last year at this time there would've been 30...so I think it's definitely an improvement.

[@awdeveau]

​@@208SledHeadfirst seen on this channel, definitely not the first. He says right in this video his other buddy has done 2 already and that the only fix seems to be to retorque the bolt at 250km and replace the bolt at 500km. Rinse and repeat.

[@208SledHead]

@@awdeveau Good thing retorquing is a simple process I suppose

[@NicoleMcMurray100]

Awesome video! Thanks for keeping that Haweater safe and enjoying his last day.

[@grew165]

jealousy isn't a great attribute to have but holy crap, can't deny it. That vid and the riding you guys are doing... definatly commands respect. I'm in my mid 60's and still ride but not like that, i get exhausted from just watching. Kudos to your ol' man at 60 and up in those mtns, again....colour me jealous! BE SAFE, keep the vids coming!

[@ryanlent]

That 360 shows just how steep it is! Holy cow! Also love the shot of you following your dad! So cool to see him take a slower methodical method! Also loved the commentary you added after!

[@joeygrav]

Love to see Polaris stranding another rider!

[@geoffbragg3331]

I’ve said this before but Matt, your personality is perfect for a day like this, keeping things light, and making an otherwise bummer kind of day, a real hoot! Another great job filming and editing!

[@ak907silvers6]

Dang i feel bad for jason. I know last year his Boost was a lemon basically. His new boost has been good until this clutch fiasco. Hopefully hes not done riding with you??? Hes only been there a short while!! Hes such a chill good dude and capable rider

[@bryanhanavan5527]

Only sledders will go back for a recovery and while waiting for the heli, go for another rip! Oh and one guy has to catch a plane later that day! Matt doesn’t live in a “what if” world he lives in the “what is world”! And then they found nirvana!!! One of the best videos in the industry!! Thank you for taking us along.

[@davidkendall1614]

Just when I think “that’s impassable” you go through it and chuckle. Skills are incredible, but so are these sleds. I’d like to put you on the Elan from my youth…250cc single, 12 hp. 😂

[@ghpjerry]

OMG @ 10:36 in clearing directly ahead of you, left center, I swear it was a Sasquatch (all white, dark face & hooded) at 1st. It scurred me a little bit. lolol

[@kellycrawford6133]

Love the exploration type videos ! Keep em coming Matt! 🤘🤘

[@grandpre25]

This has to be one of your best videos yet! Great adventure, mishaps, mayhem. The struggle. And complete redemption of epic pow riding with some of your best filming yet! Probably the most beautiful scenes of riding I think I've ever seen! Mind blown!

[@aaronw6706]

Wow, that one was fun, especially the end. Keep em coming.

[@mxzrevman64]

WOW the last 10 mins was some of the best video ever !!, great job!

[@2WheelKam]

That bridge turned out pretty cool. Looked even better later with the ice on the river. Way to turn an otherwise unpleasant task into a great powder session. Another great video. Thanks Matt!

[@mrolsen6987]

The massive amount of hard work just to get up to the zone is impressive! Good job guys! Well done 💪

[@Rioux961]

I watched pretty much all of your video and this was an awesome one. I bet some poeple regret not getting out for the recovery. ✌️

[@nickdawson6832]

Keep up the best snowmobile crisp clear content on KZbin. The mountains look so amazing.

[@let_it_ride9216]

37 minutes on is what we need more of that pumped me up bad to the bone Matt

[@craigkendell2756]

Great job rigging the sled. Another option (so the seat doesn’t come off, cause sometimes they do) is choke the tunnel, through the running boards and capture the seat. So in short move the rear strap forward. Cheers and looking forward to meeting you and crew one day. Till then keeper pinned.

[@natielou143]

Newbie here! I just found you towards the end of last season. I was really looking forward to seeing what you’re up to at the beginning of a season. I grew up with my first sled as a kid was a 69 Panther with the 493 Herth and side pipes and then a 79 Jag. I’ve only trail ridden once. Thanks for working so hard and sharing your rides. NJ

[@RandDCustoms2]

I really think this might have been your best video so far! The video was spectacular!

[@mob4801]

I double a lot for snowboard access, try having the passenger hold the mountain bar with their left hand and that's all. this gives the driver the ability to hold the handlebars (L & R hand) properly and have much greater control of the sled

[@shawnhossack6262]

Made me go ride in this -32f weather, and it was epic. Encouragement without even knowing. Great video, as always!

[@ianmcnichol1111]

Awesome footage of the sled riding with the heli some really good downy footage awesome snow but chilli

[@bertrenolds5]

awesome video, this is why I watch the channel. That zone at the end looked so fun!

[@sickjohnson]

That was freaking epic Matt! More please...and thank you.

[@flomastah]

The over-the-shoulder view is way better IMO. Really gives a better feel for what you are doing and the incline of the terrain. Keep using it please!!

[@Frangus_]

I'm sure tree riding is fun to do but nothing beats the gorgeous views of the alpine riding as a viewer, in my opinion. Awesome footage.

[@FErdr20]

Good on you guys out in the bitter cold having a epic time!

[@JRichert2683]

Anyone else find themselves ducking when Matt starts slinging thru the trees from the cam mounted to his shovel? No? Just me then. Lol

Hands down the best snowmobile content!! Too bad Polaris manufactures over priced garbage and ruins your day.

[@gregoryh4601]

Do you think they’re using China Made Parts? Sure looks like it or Made in Mexico?

[@burtstineman449]

@@gregoryh4601 I think they just have poor engineering along with cheap parts. The quality of these sleds should be much better for the high prices they’re charging.

[@braydenlarson9302]

People try to pretend Polaris is the only one with problems. Brp has their own laundry list of issues. People also don’t take into account how hard we abuse these new sleds because of how capable they are.

[@burtstineman449]

@@braydenlarson9302 obviously they’re not that capable if they’re broke down all the time.

[@braydenlarson9302]

@@burtstineman449 more capable than any sled ever before. My 9r does things that blows my mind and I’ve had 0 issues in 1200 miles. And these guys are doing things and going places sleds have never been before.

[@Trad-Am]

Just getting back in there looked like a lot of fun, bummer losing that primary! What a horrible spot too!

[@simonross6698]

The blower pow days you can tape the foot well on the clutch side so you don't get the belt slipping. Those clutches move so much air in the vents get plugged it pulls it from the foot wells causing snow to get in thus slipping belts.

[@TheNitorx2525]

The snowmobile producers should put like a small fan at the clutch compartment to cool it down. The heat that builds up there when driving in deep poweder is extreme, and I also think thats why belt and bolts break so fast.

[@bartinater]

I find myself ducking and leaning my head watching this. 😅
