“Racing that’s the only solution” had me cracking up 😂 love the vids Matt even if the snows not the best

[@bingchery]

Matt dislikes hand signals but I noticed he was all over the trail on turns and straights. At one point they were two abreast! I’m a good enough rider to ride one handed and Matt is a much better rider than me so I think he can handle signals. Giving signals gets riders to focus right and be safe. One more thing, if you want to race with your buddies, which I love to do; race at night. Almost zero traffic and when there is traffic you can see the headlights coming. Be safe all!

[@daytonmacmillann]

why do you need someone else to let you know if there are more riders behind them? Ride every corner like someone is coming, that makes sure you are on the ball and you get to keep your hands in the brake!

[@wideopenriding]

Thanks for still posting even in these sad times

[@garthkipping2755]

Completely agree with doing away with the sled(s) behind hand signals. Keep both hands on the bars and keep right. If everyone rides on the right then it doesn't matter how many sleds are coming.

[@bingchery]

I live in BC and am into mountain sledding, so watch your content mainly for your rad Revi vids BUT I grew up in Ontario and had a cottage on Kawagama (Lower Fletcher Bay across from the narrows). I love seeing your content from that amazing area! In your vid last spring you blasted right by our old cottage (family sold it years ago 😔). Thanks for the fun vids.. both BC + Ont editions.. 👌🏼

[@dennisanstadt1039]

I put thousands of miles on trail rides back in the day with my grampa. They were always a good time. He was 1 and only reason I stayed in sledding and got into some mountain riding later.

[@thegodfreyspecial423]

I’ve never been on a rider forward sled that can keep up or handles like the old sit down 121” sleds. They all push compared to a well set up trailing arm sled. Your back will always thank you, though so there is that!

[@jamesquaife5633]

I have a 2009 crossfire 1000R and its midway between new and old and its awesome and smokes new iron. BUT my wifes ZR900 makes everything disappear in the trails.

[@rockerdan]

I actually started following Matt years ago, cause I have been trail riding Muskoka my entire life, not realizing Matt's channel was 99% mountain riding out west. I have come to enjoy watching Matt's incredible photo/video work. So this was a complete surprise to see a trail type video from my backyard area where i ride. Love the plywood plow idea! Most years we have so many melt downs we typically got lots of days to radar run on fast ice conditions, but we used to always need to plow a track back when we had normal winters. Super cool video work with that 360 cam, i really need to step up my videos with one! The lake racing/GPS running reminds me of my entire childhood hanging out on Lake of Bays with the guys around Dwight. Super cool to see this video Matt, love it! BTW which Kenny was that on the Mach Z? I really love my Mach, still bone stock with just my clutching and works well. Mine definitely has more Turbo flutter sound on my videos than your 850r turbo makes. Wondering if his Mach Z is all stock? More and more guys are running the McX 210hp piggyback kit which seems to work well. Cheers brother!

[@howrightiam]

Oxtongue is a good lake to rip, Raven as well, Kawagama was red so we stayed away, We're on the NW end of Lake of bays . Always rip to the Algonquin shelter .

[@wernerkeggenhoff2065]

Great video. Love some of the side by side camera angles. Not sure how you do all the different shots, but well done. Im on Wren lake and love all these trails

[@flatlander86]

I disagree I personally like it when people let me know how many behind. Sometimes the leader is fairly far a head of the rest. I like knowing when I can get on it again. The trails aren't like highways they aren't wide enough nor are they a one way trail system like some are. I am always happy when someone let's me know how many and if they are the last one. No need for 2 hands on the bars at that point as your usual only doing 30 or so. Your not ripping at 80 still etc.

[@simoncaron9618]

Many say that trail riding is boring but when 2-3 buddies have similar size machines and push each other a bit there's nothing boring about trail riding in my book! Nice video

[@MuskokaFreerider]

Many people wouldn’t approve but yea it’s fun ripping with your buddies

[@Trad-Am]

Growing up riding the Washington cascades, we were riding trails, to play areas, but allot of it was trails, because, into in the 80's, the closest thing to a mountain sled, was the phazer. Now I rode that 84 phazer into the crater of St. Helens, all kinds of hillside logged off play areas, but didn't really get to access new terrain, till my 1998 mountain SRX. So even though I grew up riding in the mountains, my childhood was allot of trail riding.

[@allagashman69]

let's just admit it, if Matt made a video about knitting we'd probably watch it

[@scottfielding6179]

Grew up trail riding on Phazers and even an old SnoJet. LOVED every minute of it. Picked up a mint '97 Phazer Mt Lite for the wife and she loved her first ride. I still love bombing down a nice trail, but enjoying the challenge of mt riding now. Cheers Matt!

[@the_207_life]

Your exact reasoning is why I don’t trail ride. Not into meeting others that are doing 100+ in the straights and I know damn near half have had a drink since they started riding. Wasn’t for me 🤷‍♂️

[@joshgessinger4509]

Hey its not for everyone i guess but for myself i love to ride it all. Trails lakes mountains fields evan water. Been riding fast trail for 35 years maybe more nobody has ever hit me but once when i was a kid. Just a side swipe no big deal still here to talk about it. Iv wrecked sleds all on my own its all about being careful looking out for others. U have more of a chance dying or getting injured driving ur car than on snowmobile trails. More idiots on roads today than ever 😂.

The Kenny you were racing looks so much like a riding buddy/grade school friend I have in North Bay named Kenny… who rides a 900 Turbo R. Love the trail riding content. Got my first decently long trail ride in today, and my oldest daughter’s first big trail ride since getting her license this summer after turning 12. Gotta keep the family tradition alive, she’s a 4th gen sledder.

Hey hey hey. What about revelstoke? Not going back up anymore this season ? No snow up there yet ?

[@Trad-Am]

I still go out for a trail ride hear, and there. Mostly for my 77yr mom, though she doesn't like the stand up style of newer mountain sleds. Before my dad passed, their last sleds were 04 yamaha mountain vipers. My old spare sled, is a timbersled tunnel, front and rear suspension, modified M7 162x2.6 powerclaw, with low wrp seat, and that feels tall to her, so she absolutely hates my axys! I just soften up the rear track shock, and max psi the ski shocks, so it's stable and comfortable, but she'd still rather have her old yamaha back. 😂

New ski doos (at least trail sleds, idk about mountain sleds) won’t let you use them to their full potential until you get a few hundred miles on them. My 600R peaked at about 80mph but once I got 500 miles on it the thing went 112mph on a lake

I don't think you noticed it, but when you were saying to keep your hands on the bars. You kept taking your left hand off the handlebars every time you talked. Lol even rode through some corners with one hand at speed. I'm not bashing you at all lol just pointing it out that hand signals are the least of most people's worries. I'd be more upset coming across 2 oncoming sleds in both lanes ;) I always tell people, hand signals are a courtesy. Don't feel like you need to do it. If you don't feel comfortable don't. Something's guys get by me so quick I don't bother because I'm in a corner or it's a tight trail. My wife never gives hand signals. And that's ok. My 13 Pro R 800 GPS top speed is 105mph.
