Ski-Doo Races The Alpha Cat

[@bobshams7231]

Great change, Matt. More of a relaxing and entertaining kind of day. Need those once in a while. Falling in the tree well right off the bat may have been a hint to take it easy for the day lol. Along with the high Avalanche risk.

[@highcountry4068]

Proud owner of a 19 twin rail cat. All I gotta say is hold on tight. C tech 2 motors and the team clutches make wicked track speed. One machine I'll never part with 🐱

[@bradenmartens9497]

It has a 800cc Engine and non turbo and keeps up with a 850cc engine with a turbo.

[@unboostedpoopoo6478]

It took the doo for 2 outta 3 ......those cats are impressive

[@bradenmartens9497]

Yamaha builds 2 stroke dirt bikes. Come on Yamaha give arctic cat some Love and help them out. Although after watching this video, maybe arctic cat doesn’t need any help.

[@highcountry4068]

People love to hate cats but I always knew the truth. Would happily ride any of these sleds tho :)

[@kylegraybill8041]

Kind of amazing a 800cc non turbo can beat a 850cc turbo. Them cats are quick.

[@highcountry4068]

Makes me happy to own a 19 N/A 😺 they do rip

Skidoo fans crying

[@Mostromstunt]

Yeah it's impresive, all though he went on harder snow (already riden snow) it's still cool

[@Tyaug]

Cats are most reliable sleds I gotta say u don’t hear peoples motors locking up 10km down the trail like Polaris and skidoo

[@LifeWideOpen780]

@@Tyaug Japanese built yamaha were way more reliable than cats lol

don’t underestimate the kiddy!

Nothing better then watching his videos but/and going up to ride at the same time.

[@curtiswilkinson9379]

Cat pride!💪

[@vasilyegoroff5091]

U should try hop on Jason’s alpha for a ride and let us know the differences 🤙

[@actionjack84]

Agreed. The easy washing out I hear of makes me leery of trying the Alpha.

[@farmingnodak]

@@actionjack84 Kincaid said it best about having the alpha - not to over ride it since it's easier to manipulate vs a twin rail.

[@vasilyegoroff5091]

That 800 ctec seems to hold up pretty well against the 850, doesn’t seem to have a big power difference

[@AkatarawaJapan]

@@actionjack84 Fantastic in pow and trees and spring release, but doesn’t enjoy hard snow. I like mine a lot and the engine is solid as. Have a go if you get the chance.

[@actionjack84]

@@AkatarawaJapan I enjoy your videos and have seen your Alpha review video.

[@Deadlyshu]

Get this guy a factory sponsor soooooo sick!!! Best sledin vids on KZbin!!!!!!!

[@jeffharper6259]

Thanks Matt, the video you posted today made me feel as though I was one of your group on the ride. More than usual I mean, though I'm not sure why lol. Keep up the great job you are doing and don't ever be afraid to take an 'easy' day.

[@509FUN]

Your b roll is just perfectly matched with music choice every time. And I appreciate it.

[@cornyschwarz9017]

Man your my favourite KZbinr I love it everyday makes me wanna go on KZbin and watch your videos

[@starlord6593]

What a great video! Cody is having alot of bad luck this last week lol .

[@owenarthur1396]

Watching this right before I go riding today love the videos Matt!

[@RAM-19]

Fun day...tree wells suck on a good day....even when u guys take it easy...riding is still nuts...fun as hell to watch...

[@tylertieman1678]

I’ve always been a cat guy and people always complain about them not progressing like skidoo or Polaris but the cat chassis/ clutching and the 800 motor just work. I will admit the are falling behind when it comes to gauges and things like that.

[@masonbukovicn1242]

Man I love watching you especially when I’m grooming snowmobile trails

[@gregoryh4601]

Hi Matt. Great Rest Day Ride love your Logo on the Sheds. Great Team Riders on FreeRider Team. Take Care and Be Safe.

[@2008jjba]

Matt, Your content is great! My last sled was a 2001 Yamaha Viper Mountain 144 and rode only in the UP of Michigan with the intentions of not getting stuck so much with the guys I was riding with that had years of experience over my own. I enjoy watching you and the crew ripping up the mountain snow. While waiting for this morning’s upload I was watching the last few days of your 2020 trip that I have never watched. When you first got your turbo last year I was annoyed by the turbo sounds, but now watching old footage I was so missing it. Great day today. Watching a fire in the woods is so peaceful. Keep up the great work!!

[@justinsnyder6256]

I like when you get up next to the rock and ice features. Great filming 👌

[@thesupernad]

I'd be curious to see you ride that Arctic Cat for a day and do a comparison between all three sleds.

[@Syxxes_Sledding]

Love your videos man keep UP the good work

[@jiggyquinn5635]

Thank you. I appreciate the ski removal, sometimes easier than than dragging or sawing, well done once again 👏

[@UpNorthMotorsports]

The start of the video was great lol the snow looks awesome

[@mysteryman2175]

you guys are the best!!!!

[@LaidBackLiving]

Snow looks good. Great video as always!

[@brandonnelson3809]

Any chance Landon is coming out with you guys at all this year?

[@SteenslandMedia]

What do you use for camera setups?

[@montanamountainutv]

Watching before riding too! Thanks Matt!!

[@japhethbonnema]

Can't wait to see Mr freeride on a kitty next year

[@toddrabideau5576]

It seems to me that the power off and back on, (the”throttle blip”) is quicker on the doo than poo? Is that the slower turbo spool up on the Polaris you mentioned earlier Matt? The throttle response seems pretty important with this type of riding, at least more so than trail riding. I’ve owned both and was a Polaris tech thru the 90’s. Been out of it awhile tho, and never driven a turbo. I enjoy your shots and commentary 👍

[@brpmd]

Great as always Matt. Would love to see you tell us a bit about suspension set up on your sleds. Are you running them as set up from dealer or make any tweaks… keep up the great vids

[@JAGacp45]

These videos are the best bro!!

[@ryanbrown918]

I'd like to see you ride an Alpha and get your opinion on it. People hate on them, but I feel like you'd keep an open mind to it

[@spyder3777]

Hey Matt love the content, not sure if your using one but Gnarlab make a remote for Go Pro that attaches to your bars and has lights to let you know what mode you're in. It's BT and you can get battery or 12 v direct power. I thought it may help in speed to get video when riding or the amount you have to edit. Maybe another sponsor? Hopefully this helps. Peace.

[@charlesmcdonald5465]

Your getting good man! Think your ready for a big sponsorship!!

[@dziedzicthomas7782]

Soooo..whatever happened to Landon this year?

[@Byarno78]

Epic as usual 💯 I love this..

Looks like a great time. Do you ever worry about someone pinching your fuel? The trees are fighting back 😀. Stay safe out there 🌲

[@scottjacopian3191]

What happened to the sled that crashed into the tree at 7 minutes and 20 seconds?

[@MrBombarn]

How many rpm are the princess pulling? Sounds to little 🤪

[@joecomstock7255]

Sometimes you just need to go out and relax 👍

[@skidooboondocker]

You guys definitely must feel the cumulative drain physically and mentally of riding everyday. Sounds amazing until you have to do it, then it can be more of a job. Keep up the awesome vids.

[@R1Kyle]

@@lewisbrazil5485 Huh, the Skidoo has a 3 inch track, it also is a 154 like the cat. Drop and rolled chain case what... It is a stock Cat wat Cat geometry, same with the skidoo. My "Say what" was not needing an explanation. Yes Cats do put power down to the snow well and the cat track I say is one of the best in the industry in deep snow.

Marketing and Chris Burandt, people are easily brainwashed. Cats have always been on top with performance.

@@lewisbrazil5485 agreed, just cuz it’s not an “850 boost” it’s shitty, cats have there machines mechanically dialed in for quite a while ya they has some clutching issues in 2012-2015 but since and before they were good , haven’t had any problems with mine at all. Never even blown a belt.
