Bought A 23 Year Old Mountain Sled!

I have wanted to do this for a long time so we finally made it happen!
We maybe overpaid for this 2000 skidoo summit 137 but its in great shape! Other than the stupid runner that wrecked my ramp. I actually had a lot more fun today than I expected to. Will have to get a vintage ride organized at some point!

Made me feel nostalgic watching you shred on that old doo today. This just goes to show how technically diversified your riding style is. You're an example of the man makes the machine, not what machine makes the man. I absolutely loved watching this! Best video yet!

[@None_yabusiness69420]

Ahhhh a real green guy can’t get himself in trouble to bad on a sled like this but a xm or gen4 it’s really easy for someone green to find themselves in a place they shouldn’t be

[@1strangealaskanaloha417]

I have 99 800 144track. My wife has 99 600 136track. Awesome sleds CHEERS from Alaska

[@davidbjerrum6178]

its nice to see you do a vid like this. definately hilarious, but it shows that the older sleds are capable to ride those conditions fo people that cant afford newer sleds. thank you

[@cyclonefanatic5450]

Man this gave me the BIGGEST smile today! Would love to see little upgrades to this sled to make it reliable and hit the mountain more this season!

[@awdeveau]

The new sleds are awesome technology wise and it's crazy what you guys can do on them but as far as videos go this is one of the best. I really enjoyed watching the older sled ripping the pow, would love to see more of it and possibly different brands and or years if possible. Either way another awesome video!

[@mikeh.748]

Riding on something like that old out dated fossil is all I known or ever experienced. They seemed so advanced at the time. Hence why I like the channel so much. It’s worlds apart from what I used to do. I’m in constant “wow” mode watching these videos.

[@Lorijenken]

I still have my 1997 skidoo and runs great getting her ready for this winter up here North Ontario, Canada. she has never let me down and lost how many times ive had to tow my friends home 😌

[@rstrome5864]

Great video! Just goes to show you how much talent it took to ride those older chassis sleds compared to the ones made now. Not a single bow tie or hop over made on that chassis. Keep up with the great content. Ride Safe.

[@Seeker22000]

I still can't get used to the look of the new machines. Technology is so much better today but yet the look of those old 90's Skidoo and Polaris cabs is for me so much better.

[@jddinglis]

Still have an oldie. SRX700. Pipes, Reeds and a cold air kit. Still holds it own on the trails but with 136x1.5 not so well in the powder. Transfer rods really helped it.

[@alexanderroy5319]

Awesome seeing some affordable sleds ripping and you are still living every minute of it! The odd mixed in low cost sled segment would be well received along with the repair and adjustments related to the older sleds.

[@1nonlynheeoh558]

This mountain was first ever mountain i rode, it was back in 2017 on my dads 1979 11000 blizzard, great to see you and the crew havin a blast

[@leeanderson5955]

I had a 97 583 Rotary Valve Summit and a 2002 700. The 2002 was freaking awesome. I ran it completely out of oil one time and it seized up. We were way, way back in the boondocks, we pulled the plugs poured oil down there, put oil in the tank, etc, pulled it a few time and it ran and ran great. Had HPS can on it, very loud.

[@mr.b4715]

This was a great video, brought me back a few years. Now I’m looking for a machine of that vintage for my daughters to rip on.

[@gavinwindemuller]

That really shows you how far sleds have come. If I didn’t know that was a summit mountain sled, I would have never believed that thing is a mountain sled.

[@jondoe7223]

That old sled sounds way louder than that snow bike was. Sounded like an old school chainsaw just rippin up them hills. Love it.

[@kennethmiller590]

oh man, i used to have one but not the summit variant, same pipe and a bunch of pics in the track! this brought back a lot of great memories! thanks for the vid :D

[@whopper809]

A 809 triple in that CK or even a S chassis would of been killer to see in compairison... those were great builds in the mountains back in the day.

[@josephtibbits8474]

Grew up riding old iron, 96 summit 670. Just recently got an itch, picked up a 03 summit 144". And a couple 1G revs 144 and a 159, the difference between the two are night and day. Keep the old iron alive

[@jakekerz8520]

Modern skis, rebuild the shocks, general tune up, and do a 136 to 144 extension from TracksUSA with a Polaris Switchback 144 2" paddle track. She might do some really cool stuff.

[@BCHonea]

I love the late 90’s triples, some of the most dangerous sleds ever made

[@actionjack84]

Great content idea. Loved the sled geometry comparison. Really only need to see a gen 1 Rev now. Amazing seeing you ride it the way you did. Can't wait to get back on the mountain to add up some seat time.

[@MuskokaFreerider]

I’d like too!

I got a gen1 rev with a 850 engine. If you come to norway you can test it out!

10:48 that exhaust echo reached me all the way here in Iowa. That thing is loud!

[@menotyou7762]

just the fact that old girl keeps up with the other sleds is amazing. The rotax is an awesome engine and ski doo has always built the best frames for their year.

[@jonl2938]

That 700 was one of Ski-Doos best ever motors! Way more durable than the 800 of the time and loads of bottom end power. Did a good amount of trail miles on a 2000 Formula Z 700, brings back memories.

[@wyattwalker0249]

as a man with an 800x, this is true xD

[@charles1127x]

Loved that footage coming up the trail! I couldn't stop smiling / laughing. That thing rips!

[@etothenphysdude206]

OMG, you bought it, it is exactly like my 98-99? !st year of Dess it was only on the 600 and They did not have the summit x out yet so for a short time (read one season) it was king of the un-moded mountain. This should be good (gets popcorn) "It doesn't go anywhere" "I cant do anything", Yep, that's the early summit's. You ALWAYS went up from the road line because you could easily run out of gas trying to find your way back up if you went below the road line. I am so glad to see you riding this just the same as I did my 600, and keep in mind, I was 6'2" and 220. lol We didn't roll the sleds out of stucks because it would tear the windshield off and without it any real snow just rode over the hood, blinded you and cut the air to the sled. #1 rule, don.t ever stop until you are pointed down hill, no exceptions. Just think, I accidentally did a 45' vertical hit on it. No trees or markers for miles, flat light, could not tell if you were looking past a cornice or just at flat snow. I was riding behind 5 other guys, fire fighters I worked with that had been riding here for decades so I trusted them and we all, one at a time went over the edge of the cornice and did not know we were going into freefall until we had committed. I was sure I was going to land on the guy in front of me because he was just bottoming out when I went into freefall. But he squirted out of the four guy deep bomb crater, and somehow I squirted out of the now five guy bomb hole. Afterwards it was hilarious, during it was "surprise! Be terrified!". lol

[@MuskokaFreerider]

I laughed when I saw your comment yesterday about your old zx knowing this video was coming

[@etothenphysdude206]

@@MuskokaFreerider Better, I had the 99 600 summit. it was, believe it or not, the most capable stock mountain sled available that year. It was the first year the summit got DESS and it was on the 600, (looks it up) yep, it was a 99 summit blue with yellow bits, and the only track you could get in 99 was a 136 by 15 with a 2.52" lug to tame all 100 ponies! lol

[@eric1richards]

Watching the hide resolution video with the old iron was awesome. Somewhere the old ski do engineers are smiling. Well done!

[@CraigVanSickleAK]

Great video! My first sled was a 1994 580 Mountain Cat. It's amazing how far they've come since then.

[@relaxingnature2617]

you need to knee ride to get the most of those older sleds ,that puts the handlebars at a better height and its less tiring and you're not hunched over low bars .. ..just be fast at switching knees left and right

[@burtstineman449]

Love the throw back ride! Had to turn the volume down though, I can’t imagine what it was like riding that thing all day, I’m guessing a headache from the sound!

[@rock6021]

Top notch video. Your killing it . Your hard work will payoff

[@gandyrick6425]

Now imagine going back another 25 years to the mid to late 70's in Alaska and imagine the riding skills needed to high-mark, without bogging down/getting stuck. Not to say you guys aren't hella riders, because you are, but in pure skill and technique...us 'old guys' weren't too bad either. P.S. Even in the late 70's, the sleds were infinitely better than my very first one...a 1968 Polaris Colt! Were y'alls parents even born...in 68? LOLOL Keep up the great videos, so this 67 year old now living in Florida...can recall the 'Glory Days' of growing up riding in Alaska. 👍

[@scottbrown7541]

Boy does that bring back memory's, I had a 2000 zx then the 2003 HO both in their day were awesome sleds.

[@hudsonjacob94]

This made me feel so good about my first sled ever that i just got. It's a 99 xc 700 with a 144 track on it so seeing you do this makes me feel like I'll be able to somewhat keep up with my buddies newer sleds

[@Joulupunkk1]

Dude this is exactly what KZbin needs :D Had exactly same sled when these were new.

[@DDMV-ve5qf]

I had three of them. My daughter rode a 2000 summit extreme 700 151, my wife 01 800 summit extreme 151 and mine was a 03 800ho summit 151 with dynamo Joe clutch kit twin pipes and aftermarket head.Sold them two years ago. Miss them 🥲

[@brandonweinberger3161]

this is definitely in my top 3 favorite videos from this season so far!

Great vid today. Loved it! Amazing how far technology has come… that said, you made old girl look pretty darn good.

[@jasonmillner6416]

I love the seeing the old sled out there to compare!

[@R1Kyle]

The old summits were classic. I sold my old custom Mach Z last year. It has a M10 rear suspension with a 151 2" track and a custom Darrel Baker front end. Jaws triple pipes and custom cans, nothing beats the sound of and old tripple rumbling away. Heck I still have two Jaws 925 motor pickled in the shop, I need to find a good home for them too.

[@Mr-DeeRock]

I literally have been smiling this entire video. Great memories!.. your Guna need to learn to ride your new sled all over again tomorrow 😂

[@etothenphysdude206]

10:52 when you are high marking and come over with the pipe out of the snow and you can hear it echo around the bowl, that brings back memories. Man, that would be sooo obnoxious now that I am old though. Do you guys use noise canceling headphones with your radio setups? Because, knowing the tech they should be pretty good at removing sled noise. I am sure you do and I look so dated right now. lol

[@jaymrunner1155]

i have an old 670 climber mountain magic sled, you would love to ride that thing man !!! great video !

[@marchartman1115]

I had 01 summit 700 with 144" yellow just like that one. 00 might had 136" tracks, but 01 had 2 different track lengths 144 151. I think 01 year is when they introduced the 800s. I don't know if they had any longer track lengths on that chassie. Lot of guys back east went smaller profile tracks, but they had 2" paddles. Me thinks that isn't the original track length. 97 x summit was the 1st year to have 2" paddles and it was like that couple 2 or 3 yrs of in to the Rev chassie. My dad had same thing I had it was black. He got 7000 miles out of that 700 he did a ring job around 4000. They also made red ones of 01 year. Everything until Rev chassie is 15" wide tracks. I trade my 01 700 for 03 800 summit x. The guys out west would gear them down and lean it out. I enjoyed the video.
