Racing Vintage Snowmobiles at the Most Fun Snowmobile Race Ever!

[@donalddolan7709]

Looks like you guys had a blast and that's awesome! On another note, as someone with a spinal cord injury, I thank you for helping to raise funds for SCI research!

[@janelleamber]

There are still good people out there who still really want to help..I'd love to know you better that's only if you don't mind leaving me a reply

[@tomcleghorn4005]

What a good time and for a good cause

[@craigwavra3495]

Gotta love those old Polaris machines!! Sweet sound! Good times!

[@faithschmid7915]

Love the cinematic shots!

[@WedgeLife]

Greasy Wedge. Love it!!

[@stevenicoson6670]

Looked like a bunch of fun. Some real nice older sleds there that can still go. I rode for years but never got into racing. Know that fits you to a tee Zach. Good event for a great cause. Some real nice older sleds on the video. Just great. Thanks Zach. The Iowa Farm Boy. An old old old sleder himself.

[@littlerapidsphotography2554]

My last sled was a 1999 XC 600, so when I saw your video title (vintage) and thumbnail, it got a little rise out of me. Then my wife reminded me that it was nearly 25 years ago! 😂

[@betweentherows]

I honestly felt the same way, all those sleds were awesome!

[@McdonaldRoofing]

His pants😅😂! Gotta love it

[@russrecker5344]

Too cool hope to see some more of these!

[@Ada-zn3pw]

Old snowmobiles bring back some great memories

[@jpleshp4454]

Wish I woulda known you were coming I live 2 miles from giants ridge huge fan

[@charlesmcdade9722]

Good show

[@johntheabolt7750]

What a blast! My favorite outdoor winter sport!

[@kevindelaine5770]

I think you had piston or pistons issues. It looked like a blast .

[@Mrbink01]

Hard to call them vintage or old school when they aren't even 30 years old. Bring out the late 70s 340s!

[@Bezulba2]

70's cars would be old school in 2000. So why is it different for these?

[@WedgeLife]

25 years is the technical classification for vintage fyi

[@richardmargeson70]

Mrbrink101 I call people like you google cuz you think you know everything

[@Mrbink01]

@@richardmargeson70 Never proclaimed I did. A lot of the guys I ride including myself ride sleds from the mid to late 90s and we don't think of them as vintage. When I think of vintage, I think of the sleds from the 70s.

[@alecfromminnenowhere2089]

You should come to Elk River next Jan. for the annual Ride In. We have a classic show as well as drag and loop racing. The travelling race teams come in from all over North America.

[@lostinlox]

Born in 1970, my first sled was a 1979 John Deere Spitfire 340.

[@richardthomas1743]

hell YES that sure are!!

[@HamSlicer]

You earned a thumbs up, as soon as I saw your teams pants.

[@delorisjones7729]

oh man this was awesome!

[@chief3378]

That look like a lot of fun but cold third place with all the problems you guys had sweet

[@pedrogunner9750]

Zach there is a trend with you breaking other peoples equipment when you’re riding/driving it?! Lol Gawwwwd! I had a 97 700 RMK with a 144 track and I also had a 600 triple that was a match to that white one and they’re so fricken loud with pipes on them haha. One of the reasons I started riding arctic cat was because there were too many times I had to ride out of the mountains on one ski because I broke a trailing arm or radius rod.

[@mrbunny8050]

The snow looks like it was pulling hard. Enjoy your videos.

[@wisconsinwoodworksofcamero782]

Love it !!

[@mrbakerskatz]

Nice stash Zack , I’ve said for years if only you would grow a stash , Tom Selleck could come out of retirement to be your stunt double .

[@handiman5001]

Who da thunk that 90s machines would be classified as vintage in my day the 50s sleds were vintage

[@betweentherows]

I'm not very old but I feel the same way

[@toddkraml6477]

That was cool!!

[@NitroReviewsMN]

As an avid MF and BTR viewer from the Iron Range my disappointment in Zach for his pronunciation of Biwabik is immeasurable. However, I’ll still be here for the fun 😂 grew up on Giants Ridge and had such a blast there.

[@alohaerickson]

Love the Zubas

[@mrboneman4354]

looks like so much fun i always wanted do something like that

[@Wi11duhbea5t]

My guy is havein a rough go at anything that’s not a dirt track lol good to see ya back on a “race sled” tho

[@edcrego8487]

Summer is almost over t thought you had a busy season lined up did u get out of it

[@waynedanileson5897]

Most american video ive seen in a while, the colorful clothes to the 90s mustaches haha

[@kevhead1525]

Now if you make the stache a handle bar, I'm all in.

[@danmiller2186]

Mustache is on fleek!!

[@kevinl2073]

Did David Fischer try to convince you to come to grantsburg wi to watch grantsburg water cross?

[@rsmith8646]

Never been on a snowmobile but they sure do look fun

[@betweentherows]

They're a BLAST!

[@raypeoples]

My question, why was that one team wearing pajamas?!!!! LOL

[@gost9396]

[@chrisdoran7673]

that is such the wrong sled for that....alot of fun

[@landovash]

Just send it! 🚀

[@justsomeguy--]

I need those pants in my life right now!

[@ryanc8188]

Watching this brings back memories of how terrible the ergonomics of those sleds were if you were over like 5'6"

[@Richard-kp9ex]

Bi-wah'-bick

[@clintmeyer8029]

So what is Zack Johnson going to race next? I can’t decide if he looks like the cop from Reno 911 or the firefighter from Tacoma FD with the mustache.

[@dskofich]

BI WAAAA BIK THATS HOW YOU SAY IT

[@lindesylittlechief9056]

You ever race in Estevan Saskatchewan Canada

[@PolarisEricson]

Come back next year!!

[@Paulman50]

Would love to thrash one of those, but we don't get any snow here 😢

[@magdabrownis265]

Makes me feel old that you’re calling them vintage 😂

[@betweentherows]

Same here!

[@ta-tonka1175]

Looks too warm for the old triple... a godd -20°F day it would of tore some shit up! Love them triples!

[@lonvansickle2863]

Nice pants Zach

[@JL-yl8gd]

Did you finally hire a video guy? The style on this video is noticeably different. It’s good I like it. Editing just seems different. Camera work seems really sharp during the racing as well.

[@betweentherows]

We did yea. Luke is going to help with some videos this summer. The weather at this race was really difficult for filming!

[@terryburgettburgett965]

Hey Zach when are we going to get a video of onxy playing hockey

[@TheBks573]

I had a mustache just like that, when i was 15.

[@WangoTangoTom]

Bi-wa-bic is how you say it.

[@ronyoder6328]

You need to bring a real sled next year 😊

[@betweentherows]

There is no sled ever built that will beat a 1997 Polaris triple.

[@terryburgettburgett965]

Hey Zach hope to see you in a late model

[@jeffd4056]

Xc s They either run great and go like hell or they don’t it’s literally one or the other I love ‘em till they melt 😎

[@MakinEmAtNight26]

Save some 🐈 for the rest of us!

[@julianwang9015]

Are you going to do it next year?

[@betweentherows]

I hope so!!

[@kevinwilson1475]

Guess your old when vintage is the sleds you were riding in highschool

[@lostinlox]

The ole 600 seems a little sluggish.

[@aaronjarvenpa1743]

When was this race ? I don’t live very far there .

[@betweentherows]

Last weekend!

[@rbmeyers]

Bee waa bik

[@lyman1965]

Zach were you going for the 80’s porn star look with the stache and shades, because if you were you f’ing nailed it.

[@mpstenz3520]

Where was this?

[@ta-tonka1175]

Giants Ridge ski resort, Minnesota

[@attaat]

Ha ha ha, I can't get over that Porn Star Tash 🤣

[@dk3062]

Um , 97 XC is high tech compared to my 89 Indy 400.... Geez louise.

[@Gophacyerself]

I don’t see any vintage sleds.

[@matthewbegin3462]

I would have to say anything with trailing arms or leaf springs are vintage sleds. 27 years old is certainly not late model

[@oldhomeguy8214]

BiWobBic

[@AB8Y_radio]

Since when is 97 vintage

[@Ricphil]

:)

[@calcobb442]

Was bogging badly,...my old Indy 500 would have driven around that 600. Ordinarily a 600 would blow my skags off.

[@betweentherows]

Yeah, it was way too rich. The warm weather and water getting into the carbs wasn't helping 😂

[@mikekenyon3322]

sadly , that power plant had a huge failure rate.

[@betweentherows]

We'll rip it again next year and WIN IT ALL!!!

[@Pcj74049]

call the police. I see the guy on the wanted poster.

[@phillacy5545]

How did you make out in the danger ranger? Are you going to post? I just saw a glimpse on Cletus. What a shit show!!!!

[@eddeetz493]

Reminds me of chasing Pumas catching up in the woods John Deer 500..a tank but slow.

[@jamessmit2731]

It's pronounced ba wa bik

[@sparkythebuilder]

You call yourself a Minnesotan? It's pronounced Ba-Wa-Bik. 😁

[@earlhollar1906]

See if you can find an old "Eskimo" racing machine short narrow track, 1 humongous Piston . Expansion chamber, fins on the cylinder and head that took up most of the room under the hood Ying Ying Ying Ying Yang ...Yang .....Yang............ no top end hit the throttle and you're out in front of everybody instantly .!!! But I didn't do that much because I didn't know where all the barbed-wire fences were. That can mess you up.!!! I'm going to assume your mother got you addicted to excitement? Your dad seems pretty mellow? That assuming can get you in trouble! Maybe it was a sports coach.? In my case, it was handed down through the fathers generations until one of us broke the chain , 🥺and it still was too late. The process was, we used our quick wit, trying to get him to laugh.🤭😉🤪 If It didn't work, it was Duckin Run and hope he tripped, because if he cot you you're better off just standing there and taking it in the first place?🤨😒😢😩😫😖😩🤕👍🏻🥱😴🌝
