Snowmobile River Ride. SCARY. Taquamenon River Upper Pennisula Michigan U.P. Ski Doo

[@rudolpholiver9348]

That's my back yard and you also road right past the spot I caught my first Muske he was 53" good times on that river!

[@eclipsegaming5998]

I've been there done that man. When I was younger me and my dad went ice fishing out in a nearby lake. Now, try riding 2 up with a 99 Polaris 550 short track WITH a pack sled with gear an ice auger ( with an eng ) THROUGH slush. Worst part was the pack sled had big skis that dug into the slush

[@TheMrRepomies]

Where is it that SCARY part???

[@eclipsegaming5998]

The whole thing is scary

[@nofragforyou8329]

Idk

@@eclipsegaming5998 why? Just keep moving it's easy. Have you never been on a sled?

[@eclipsegaming5998]

micheal pratt Not on an old dog with barely any lugs on the track, just an experience I had as a kid I guess.

@@eclipsegaming5998 gotcha, that's how we all learned buddy.

[@carlharm921]

Rode the river a few years back fun but kind of scary. Mostly only worried about belt and engine trouble!

[@scottsweeney5005]

Great video I love your sled

[@johnwilkening5262]

when the exhaust makes that sound like it's running in water lmao

[@NitroosRC]

Sled is hurtin sounds so tired

[@dawsonpeter3244]

Agreed

[@SuperLabonte43]

Sounds like it needs a serious engine or clutch rebuild

[@rcoverload8023]

+blake woolam bro do you even snowmobile

[@SuperLabonte43]

Rc overload Bro I snowmobile a lot and know a lot about them too. Don't know what you're trying to say.

[@rcoverload8023]

+blake woolam your a bitch for riding a 600

[@randyfreitag8606]

Exactly the reason we avoid the ice

[@snowmobiler199]

Time for a rebuild

[@strike7c562]

Dang nice man I went there when I was 9, rode from Newberry all the way to taquamenon Falls.

[@strike7c562]

alot of fun

[@jamesgarvey8402]

LOL! I find it funny how many people are screaming for his sled to get rebuilt. Not saying they're wrong, but damn! He is riding in some seriously slushy conditions here. Just do something really intelligent and go into debt with a new 850 in your garage! 😉👍

[@rosskeene1913]

or just trade the SDI in for HO. the 600 HO is bonkers compared to the SDI power wise. I can go anywhere a 800 can go as far as the original rev chassis

[@gunsnrods4469]

Ross Keene I know this is old, but I have both of those in one. SDI HO, can keep up with all 800's

[@royotton5787]

It very dangerous to drive it slush here in Alaska or anywhere because there’s water underneath and possibly cans drown

[@Ugluk75]

What was the SCARY part?

[@GoProGoons]

Holy shit man. Thats a good section of river to fall through on.

[@karlgilbert8255]

maybe your clutching is different, belt wear, who knows. tottally wasnt crapping on u guys. good to see u all made it off the river safely!

[@eliaslundberg8631]

Your snowmobile didnt sound very good there ;)

[@bentaylor5838]

Is your right a arm bent?

[@tomsnow9686]

why not stay on the fresh snow...

[@Joeys990]

or the shoreline... nah just right down the middle of the slush

[@gerry7457]

Easier to go with already broken trail...

[@frctv7900]

how long of a track do you have? looks like you were barley making it through

[@flight110]

Nice of your buddies to just leave you in the dust haha

[@samorth5636]

flight110 lol ski don’t lmao

[@JBM9823]

sounds like that skidoo is coming apart.

[@snowman5980]

I have the same jacket, it's nice isn't it?

[@SwampDonkey530]

Look at you..509 water walker!! Even got the wanna be Canadian dinner jacket on!!!

[@Somawesomestuff]

I rode across a lake on a friends 2018 ski doo 600 renegade and I was going through a bit of slush and its freaky especially if its your first time driving in slush on a snowmobile (like mine) I quit cause I didn't wanna ruin, or worse sink our friends sled

[@brianpytleski5512]

Why stay on the trail when there's a river or lake nearby? Flatter, smoother and FASTER. Fastest route from point A to Point B. As long as your belt doesn't get wet and slip, or fry a piston you're all good lol.

[@KathouQC]

Hi what is the leng of your track? 136x15?

[@schamberlin5150]

136”

[@18jivan137]

Holding it pinned for that long is sketchy. Lucky you didnt blow a belt running it that hard in slushy conditions.

[@JamesMartin-fm8ke]

Hope you guys know the river, one deadhead just under the snow can make for a painful day.

[@dawsonpeter3244]

How can u hold ur throttle wide oped for 5 minutes

[@eclipsegaming5998]

Gotta do what u gotta do in a life or death situation

[@mitchellfrank2001]

+Eclipse Gaming Life or death? Even if he sunk his sled the shore is only 10ft away from him.

[@russellk393]

he didn't he kept reving it the thing would blow up if he was wide open

[@mitchellfrank2001]

Your sled sounds weird there, was that wide open?

[@eclipsegaming5998]

Yes wide open in slush

[@mitchellfrank2001]

+Eclipse Gaming Okay... Just wondering, sounds like it needs a rebuild

[@karlzakss20]

Is it a 550?

[@karlgilbert8255]

good video. not shitting on you or anything, but why is it moving so slow??! i have one of these, but the long track (out of 2 skidoos & 1 Polaris) and maybe its the video, but mine seems to go a heck of alot better than that machine. i see you are almost wide open. and previous commenter is correct, anytime in doubt, make your our path over unsafe ice. DO NOT ride in others tracks, ive gotten an Arcticcat stuck that way before and it was absolutely exhausting to get unstuck. slush takesup all free space in your skidframe, and not only will your track not spin, your machine instantly wieghs an additional 200 pounds lol.. still, cool upload. thumbs up man.

[@JoshuaLemire]

the river looks bad but it would be as scary if you did not slow down so much but by looking at the video you couldn't really steer so you had to slow down to steer

[@travisduden5640]

Heres what u need carb clean/rebuild later engagement spring clutch weights slp full pipe port and polish clutch alignment and she should rip...sounds sickly rite now lol

[@18jivan137]

+Travis Duden clean the imaginary carbs? SDIs dont have carbs... Hence the SDI (Semi direct injection).

[@Icutmetal]

+Travis Duden Boy; you sure have all the answers, don't you?

[@dalenater6041]

Engine sounds fine, it will take that all day.

[@curiouschaos2138]

Everyone calm down!!! You are right he is very lucky his sled didn't go boom!! What he really needs is just a new sled!!!!! Not that pile of shit hes riding!

[@acdesignspoweredbyp3771]

What size is the sled ?

[@latex69lovemarcy]

NOT TO BIG.

[@schamberlin5150]

136”

[@kustommetalwerx]

ski-BOOM!

[@rileybruce18]

why does is it so slow and gutless i have a 2008 mxz renegade600 and it walks

[@schamberlin5150]

Ride through that much slush for that long and tell me how fast it is. Sled is fast on trail. Sled was clean and ice free when i started the video then you see how much is stuck on the sled by the end

[@kevinfournier8167]

+Steve Chamberlin i rode a 2004 mxz 800 and ont that much slush and it was never slow like this ... yes it is stronger but the sled was going fine during all the ride and i never noticed a power decrease or something 0.o

[@karlgilbert8255]

+kevin fournier yea dude i thought the same thing and i have the same 600 pushing a longer track. it doesnt sound close to maxxed out and all his buddies left him in the dust. i think its time for sumone to go thru their machine and rebuild or fine tune it. something is not right with the 'Doo in this video..

[@kevinfournier8167]

Karl Gilbert I totally agree with you haha ! This sled sounds sick, it needs a doctor

[@flapjack6188]

scary? far from safe?

[@latex69lovemarcy]

YOU DONE GOOD.

[@JamesSmith-gg7wj]

End of it's life 2 stroke sounds like lol... if thats pinned or close and its that slow even in slush for a 600 renegade.. then it needs a clutch or some areas rebuilding. even sounds boggish. no powerband at all it seems

[@coldspring624]

You think you were never getting off that river ..lol

[@grantdubridge7995]

Is there a reason that you can't hold a steady throttle? Sit down like a normal person and your hand won't hurt. It would be cool to see you fall off from standing up.

[@Jataylor8991]

Someones ready for some new rings

[@mattaldi1520]

sounds like a 250cc..

[@rosskeene1913]

trade your SDI in for HO. the HO has a lot more power and top end and won't bog as bad

[@xxx_codgod_xxxcod2755]

Ross Keene hey Ross keen I I've seen you around a lot in the sledding world the one I remember is the where u told tht kid he only got there cuz daddy bought him a new sled I agree with u on how u say most people end up with the old sled and have to work at it with me I'm 14 and my starter sled was a 2000 Polaris 550

[@rosskeene1913]

XXX_CODGOD_XXX COD it wasn't until this year after working as a farm hand and at a restaurant I was able to afford my new sled which is a 2014 800 summit X 154. huge upgrade from what I was on but then again I was riding my own sled (2005 600HO summit) at 10. nothing less then it would suite where my family would ride

[@xxx_codgod_xxxcod2755]

Ross Keene oh yea thts a nice one. A few winters back I was able to get a Polaris 2006 600ho rmk 144 for around $2000 after doing lots of work for my parents over the summer. Hope this winter is going to be a good one.

[@russellk393]

sounds like its bogging down

[@eclipsegaming5998]

No crap its in slush

[@randylarocque2001]

Sounds like your clutchs need some attention,that thing should b screaming wot slush or not,I've had 440s do better in slush then that

[@stroke_force2239]

last thing you wanna do is ride in someone else's rut always stay in powder and when u have good enough speed berp the throttle to let ur engine and belt cool down

[@jelly1789]

BOOOOM

[@nicholasdagostino3883]

come on do you not have video editor or something to make this video shorter

[@pierrebertrand8039]

never catch my ass on that shit

[@bmf69u]

Pin it.

[@schamberlin5150]

It was. You can see the throttle in the video

[@acewipes]

+Steve Chamberlin you can clearly hear you let off the throttle. Also curious why you chose to ride thru the track of open water/ broken thru ice

[@tylerrosin665]

Scared of a little slush?

[@jomishx]

unlikely. It's probably what's under the slush...

[@dgreenbluet]

Its just alittle overflow, there ice under that water

[@schamberlin5150]

***** Early in the season. Wasnt much ice in such a fast flowing river. Waterfalls are about 3 miles up river. video dont do it justice

[@Bceltics112288]

some show this kid how to ride

[@amanwithnoname6948]

that thing is a turd

[@nicholasdagostino3883]

come on do you not have video editor or something to make this video shorter
