Wow, I never knew about this. Thank you for sharing!

[@boxedfender4810]

here before it blows up. 25 views subbed. I'm from Duluth so I might be biased. snowmobiles are my favorite power sport. nothing can even really compare to blowing through the field of fresh powder or cracking it across the lake wide open.

[@mjolnirmilitia569]

Absolutely

[@alaskarailroad3996]

Nice video. POLARIS the only name I've trusted since 1992. Current sleds, a 1980 polaris TX-L " my pride and joy" . And a 2005 polaris 700 xc sp f/o.

Really a great video, I worked at AC 10 years, Polaris 7 and my siblings, at AC, Mom and Dad both worked at AC Service and Warrenty and throwing motors .. I once was told Edgar used to say it was insanity,,, building a machine to go outside in most inhospitable conditions to the middle of nowhere ,,like selling ice to eskimos... but these are wonderful tools.

I read the book about Edgar. Seemed like a great man.

I’m Going to keep popcorn around and come back here often just to Watch the Doo Nuts freak out.

I didn't think that it was controversial to say that skidoo didn't invent a snowmobile because they just welded skis to a Model T and called it one.

[@shawnaburns5158]

So this is how the snowmobile was born??? How cool and vety interesting ❤

[@cyrilwingnek-qw1ik]

They came to our town, testing the rxl 650 in the 80s

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Eliason created the first snowmobile as we know it in 1924, but also Henry ford created a model a snowmobile in 1928.. also mr bombardier made the first mass produced snowmobiles starting in 1954

[@bertrenolds5]

So cat was founded by a guy who thought snowmachines were a bad idea, makes sense.

[@grosmene]

I think Joseph Armand bombardier is widely credited for the invention of the snowmobile.

[@Caseyhervey]

I guess in a technical sense, but he invented some goofy looking model t with tracks and skis, but polaris built the modern equivalent to what they look like now

And Canadian taxpayers have been subsidizing it since

[@gordonliddy9418]

@@LoeschDavid-xv6tc Gotta love that socialist government injecting taxpayer money into companies like BRP.

[@oneninerniner3427]

Yes although Eliason never really mass produced snowmobiles or was widely known about, as compared to Polaris or Bombardier. Just had to add that.

[@shawnmclaughlin7418]

They might not have invented the snowmobile but they certainly have perfected it

[@johnnybrace]

amazing that one guy spearheaded both Polaris and 'Cat. I love the meme that says 'factory recall on all wedge chassis Polaris sleds....it's time their owners got new sleds" -- guilty as charged.

[@MidnightPolaris800]

Do you know dave ingeman or his son cody...i grew up with cody. Our dads worked together

[@Solberg28]

Edgar was David Johnson brother in law and left moved to trf and started arctic car Polar inc.David Johnson son Aaron still lives on Edgar homestead

[@littleredridinghood5622]

Bombardier invented the modern snowmobile..

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

JAB invented the big sprocket that make the track spinning , and every other copying.

[@ih302]

Polaris didn't either...
