Vintage Slednecks 2022: Rotax Boys Wax the Gully

This vid is a compilation of the 2021-22 winter romping season. Some sleds you'll see are 1970 399 and 235 Olympiques, '76 Elan with a 399 and custom tuned pipes, '75 Elan, '71 Olympique with a TNT hood and straight pipe, Yamy Enticer 250, and a couple misc. machines.

Ah, I remember those days..when machines were made so your legs and spine were the suspension!! ;)

This is an era gone by, but not completely forgotten, and I'm glad you guys get out there and tear it up just like the old days. We used to go wherever and see what they'd do! Today's machines are expected to perform but the machines of yesteryear always carried a bit of mystery. "Can I get through this or climb that? What's going to break today?" And you had to pilot these machines, not just ride them. I still don't have a 60's vintage, but I've got a heck of a Polaris stable, and I ride them every year! '72 Colt 295, '73 TX 400, '73 Charger 295, '76 Colt SS 340, '77 TX 340, '78 Cobra 440, '79 Apollo 340, '80 Galaxy 440, and an '81 Cutlass SS 440. They're not for looking at, although I try to make them look nice, they're for riding! It takes time and money to keep them going. I have a couple that might be on their way out because they're just troubled children and I'm tired of maintaining so many as it is, but my goodness... I just enjoy them so much! I have probably spent as much in repair and upkeep as I have initial expenditure but heck, most of them were acquired for $300 or less so it still feels like a cheap hobby. It's kind of like feeding a horse when you have this many though! Oh... and I have an '81 Arctic Cat Pantera 500 just for something different. No idea how vast I'll get with it, but I have the disease and don't see a cure in sight! Great video guys! Can't wait to see 2023!

Hey, everybody needs a hobby

[@fredeschen3783]

[@normdickson2438]

Back when sledding was real fun great videos guys thanks made my day

[@williamturkewitschturkewit1549]

When I started this was all we had...but way more fun. Each sled had its own distinct sound. 😊

[@PartTimeYooper]

[@actionsportster7686]

I don't think those sleds ran that good when they were new ... must be the riders. You guys are an inspiration!

[@peg420]

[@jasonwulff8341]

I’m honestly enjoying old snowmobile riding more than on the newer sleds

[@benfox9208]

That little red elan works good

[@darrenmackenzie1645]

Spent many days on the 12.3 Olympic, lots of fun. We would skip school on the fresh pow days and run lots of premix through sleds like these.

[@randykroells8049]

73 Olympic 440 ride one day fix for a week.

[@starfoxnerd88]

Oh ya buddy just what I've been waiting for

[@lynnanderson6499]

Back in my younger days (early 70's) we had snow machine races during winter carnival, (oval) there was a category for 1970 and older, well I had a 1970 Allouette, 20 hp., being about 13 yrs old, thought it was a pretty sweet ride, (lol), anyway entered the race and took second place, an 18 hp, 1967 ski-doo beat me. Use to tell that story once in awhile, but to top off the story at the end, and for a laugh of course, could not leave out the fact that there was only two in the race. The good old days.

[@jpowell9343]

The 24 hp elan was quick when it worked. The 16hp was named double trouble when I was younger..lol

[@saratoga123321]

Rotax gang only 💪💪💪

[@superdplum]

This is great!! Looks like a ton of fun!!

[@bufjayup7774]

Oh man does THIS take me back. I'm wagering there were many beers killed in the making of this vid!! My 70's stable - 69-70 SnoJet, 60 something Sears, 70 something Moto Ski Capri, 72 Chaparral Firebird "EXECUTIVE" I think (too bad THAT moniker never panned out in real life), 75 Suzuki Nomad (sweet but I learned the diff between 1/2 and 3/4 inch reach the hard way - ran AWESOME for about 3-4 minutes)...duh. Then a 79 YAM EX440. SWEET. Haven't ridden since but thanks to you bastiches I'll prolley piss off wife soon....but NOT with a $15-20K sled. The shit I put those old hunks through at $200-$400 a pop? Oh hell no........

[@jaycoppola4324]

Many beers...I was thinking just that when the broken one they were towing fell off.

[@96Duelfuel]

[@scottbowling58]

[@mikecrystalrobert7898]
