Trying to drive snowmobiles on the WATER! Will they SINK?

[@SnowmaxPerformance]

Thank you guys so much for coming out to MN! Grant and I have always enjoyed watching your guys’ KZbin channel. Thank you for allowing us the the opportunity to show you guys our sport. You guys were absolute naturals out there! We can’t thank you enough 🙌🙌🙌

Awesome job Doug and Steve! You guys killed it for first timers! And shout-out to those people for hooking you guys up. That looked like a blast!

Awesome video! Grant, Erica, and Shawn seem like great people....more collaboration with them, bring them out to Michigan for dune/trail ride!

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

You know it’s bad ass when it takes your breath and leaves you speechless and shaking lol I loved every second of it!!!

[@NorthernLightsEnterprises]

Great video by the SXS team, Grant & Erika with the Shitti Skippers team are great people and extremely talented on the sleds!! Awesome exposure for a awesome growing sport!!! Great Collab!!!🤘

[@jimwagner9425]

One of the most bad ass videos to date

[@bradg9738]

That was a cool video! Keep up the snowmobile content

[@b1dodge]

Being a 35 year mountain sled veteran. I have ridden a sled every month of the year. I have crossed Utah lake dozens of times on a mountain sled. A sled is very effective on water . Snow is full of air. The problem is they don't float. I have sunk even a four stroke. Just don't get the clutch wet.

[@kollinspencer847]

utah is great!

[@j_rainsgoat3929]

Maybe a little flotation would make it a year round machine.

Awesome video. A few years ago 3 guys were trail riding at night and missed a 90 degree turn at a shoreline. 2 let off and unfortunately didn’t make it. They were found about 100’ from shore. The 3rd held it to the bar, 6 miles across the lake to the far shore. I can’t even imagine seeing nothing but waves in your headlight knowing survival depends on holding on for a few minutes and having no idea what shore will look like. Trees? Cliffs? Morings? All on stock sleds where water through the vents can make the belt slip and take it out of your hands.

[@scotthansen1287]

So glad Steve is a part of the Blog channel. Good dude with many hidden talents we probably don't know about. Doug's comment about riding on the Bay was pretty funny..."Probably once."

[@silveradoguy87]

Heck yeah dudes! So glad to see more sled content on the channel and hopefully more to come! Put the flipper to the gripper!

[@joelfarley8654]

Why am I not surprised Doug is a natural at this ?

[@shanecurrier6343]

Bring these guys out for a good trail ride haven’t had a sxs blog vid make my heart pump just watching in awhile

[@wvumatt315]

Such a fun video. Had me smiling the whole time.

[@ScotianOff-Road]

That sport is intense! I’m surprised their channel has less subs than mine. Not for long I bet. So cool of the blog to collab with a small KZbin channel. Respect 👊

Do not let cleetus see this lol. Hell yeah Doug killing it!!

Steve is definitely my favorite Tarantino look alike! His quick head nods of approval make me want to drink a beer with him!

[@jacobtinucci2642]

I grew up in MN across the street from the Maki family, Mark Maki was a pioneer for watercross since the late 70s and its a wicked cool sport. He held the record for awhile for longest snowmibile ride on water with like 61 or 62 miles, i cant remember which

[@travisbowers5143]

Yep across yellow lake in Webster. I grew up in grantsburg, everyone did watercross. Maki won it for years

[@davemiller4016]

I absolutely loved seeing the Huge SMILES on Doug's and Steve's faces. Awesome video you guys, 100% so happy for you all!!!☝💪😎🖒

[@Chet2378]

SXSBlog definitely needs to bring them on a trail ride! With SXS's or when you get new sleds this year!

[@deranged731]

I was just thinking I haven't seen a blog video in a few days. Boom!

[@kevinsellsit5584]

When a two minute ride leaves you so exhausted that you need to buy 2 new toys. Those are some good running 2-strokes!

[@nnoffuture]

whoever the man is showing them the ropes is so chill and seems like a real live decent person

[@JsGarage]

Way more cool than I thought it might be. Looks like a blast!

[@CheapNLazyAdventures]

I've only rode on a pond once, but it gives you confidence when riding over a frozen lake in the winter, just knowing you can ride out if the ice breaks. It's a wild ride for sure.

[@kenleppek]

Oh man blog video on my birthday and they're water skipping sleds... Freaking sweet!

[@devilsreject78]

This summer I picked up at ski doo formula z 583 rotax for $300.. running perfect specifically for this reason

[@jasonlitzy3318]

Good on Steve for getting back out there!

[@dr.weirdbeard2840]

First time i was nervous but once you go it feels very stable. Then you get cocky test your limits and sink haha. We recovered it the next morning.

My guts and face hurt from laughing through this whole video. 😂

If you have not driven a snowmobile on water your missing out! Such a fun time

[@DerekHarper-v9z]

I race watercross in New Hampshire. Awesome to see you guys giving it a try! Come east and try turning left instead of right!

[@shaunsmith928]

Water Cross was popular in northern Mich. and MN when the leafers (older snowmobiles) started growing on people . And when it started to be were you could get more then just one snowmobile company to buy from . And actually , even a couple of boat motor company's like Evinrude were making snowmobiles . Back then insistently thy had ( leafers ) leaf springs with shocks on the front ski 's . IF the sled runs good , send it .

[@Ceemysix]

Awesome snowmobile content guys! Love it!

[@TripleAstyle1]

One of my FAVORITE videos you have done...... awesome to go just hop into something new. Honestly better you guys went FIRST to see how it worked out, or you would have been boring compared to the pros. Sweet

[@jagemc]

I’m glad this channel has grown and you guys are doing well

[@gavnunns]

I've not had chance to get my RZR or traxxas sledge water skimming and now you show this! Love the flexibility to try new, possibly stupid things and introduce new people and channels for entertainment and money sink holes ;)

[@andrewh7319]

Feel like Doug is going to get an offer to race one of those bad units he jumped on like he's done his whole life.

Snowmobiles are made for water, change my mind! You guys be rippin! 🤘🇺🇲

[@ammo-ryder2613]

Why is it that you guy's are not at 1 million subs yet ? Mind blown

[@scotttod6954]

I live next to a lake and really want to make a purpose built water cross sled. Every time I get a sled to do it to I fix it up and it ends up being my favorite sled to ride for a while. That and I am pretty sure there will be that one person who calls the cops on my lake the second I rip past thier dock in July on my sled. You should come up to my area this winter and ride.

[@shrapnelsbunker736]

This made me laugh thinking back to my Aunt moving to Texas many many years ago before Jetski's were a thing up here in Michigan... Told me she saw some on a trailer and had no idea why those snowmobiles looked so funny....

[@ryanfriars545]

Running sleds on open water has to be some of the most fun you’ll ever have. It’s unreal how forgiving they can be, and how you can carve through the water.
