I'm impressed also !!! The new 700 is really something Deadly 🤗

[@chadsteele1]

I'm only 7 mins in but these are the trails I love. Great video.

[@lawsonlandry3877]

cameras never do hills justice, nice to know i am not the only guy to roll a machine!!!!!

[@andban92]

27:26 This was one of the smoothest rollover ever. Outlander probably wanted to take short nap. Seriously tho,i'm glad it went soo smooth and you are fine. Could've been way worse.

[@BrianSmith12950]

I can appreciate how much the technical stuff wears you out. That's about all the trails where I am. You go out and pick your way for four hours through that stuff and your arms are burning.

[@trikelife4960]

Absolutely love camping and riding around Tumbler! One day I plan to tackle onion. Been on the list for years.

[@jamielarson225]

That trail looks amazing! Great footage, love watching your videos!

[@jimmydank1128]

Man that drone footage is spectacular! Definitely one of the most beautiful countries in the world, EH!

Great trail, we did it a few months ago in a 4 seater highlifter and a can am x3. camped right on the beach for the night. Lots of tight spots 👌

[@ostacruiser]

Awesome! And yes definitely

Yeah buddy, Thanks for another awesome vajeo! 🤘

[@honestjay8120]

That trail there reminds me of an every day ride where I’m from in the state of Maine just an every day ride. That’s how all our trails are around here gnarly as hell.

[@waynecanaday341]

Same here in southern West Virginia

[@Chris-no8qi]

Totally agree with tire size not exceeding 32. I ride 650 xmr with the cryptid I find them better then the mayhem. Wife rides 850xt with true 28 mud lite 2 but I did rad relocate right away on hers and raised the cvt exhaust.

[@UncleManuel]

That must have been a totally new experience for Osta - because there was no skeg. 😁😁😁😜

[@dannymartin4x482]

Could not do it without you man!! Other kick ass day on the trials

Love the vids ❤❤

[@williammartel9415]

Man, that's some epic riding. We used to have some good trails in my state but they turned all them into highways for the Side by sides and anytime the trails get a little rough everyone is crying.

[@ostacruiser]

Ya man I hear ya. It's great when things stay difficult. Much less traffic

[@leoncope6649]

I love your video , I heard you say it strange how the four wheel will go threw things better than the side by sides , but the side by sides will go threw thing better than the four wheeler , I seen that in your video ,, bottom line I love seeing theses videos amazing what they all will go threw

Thank you so much! Glad you liked the video

Again David, way to knock it out of the park. Trail and scenery were awesome. Maybe National Geographic should start to showcase your rides. (worth a shot). Can't wait for the return video. As always, "Ride Hard and Be Safe" MN Bill

That looks like fun, where can I find more info on this trail. I have a suggestion for a different trail for the Ostacruiser crew to try here in western Canada.

[@trailblazeratv6306]

I think Can Am came out with the new 700 to complete with CF MOTO

Great video. Love seeing you rep the new 700. What is that helmet mrs. Osta is wearing.

It works so well. The helmet is a Can am Exome

Tim was saying that is a spectacular hike! Would love to do that some day as well

[@dalekinnin8280]

Do you know what that chirping noise on the new 700s is? Realized in this video yours does it too, I only really notice mine doing it in deeper water but I don’t know the source. I thought maybe belt but no water and never any slipping or power loss? Also keep a check on the spark arrestor, mine clogged bad after a ride! Thinking about empires new exhaust for it.

[@ostacruiser]

To me it seems like an engine mount. Makes chatter under load

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Two thoughts here: 1) It's interesting to see how Osta can absolutely kill skeg at WOT all the time and seems invincible...but then throw him in other terrain and it's totally different. 2) At what point does riding become less fun and more a chore? This trail sure seemed like the borderline of no longer fun. Bonus Thought: Wicked content as always!

@@ostacruiser yup 77” is pretty dang wide, I’m wondering how they plan on people putting taller tires on it without spacers cause where you are and go you’d need 37” or taller tires

It almost looks like maybe she hit that very first stump on left before the mud when you found her there in that mud pit around 16min mark. That trail def wears you down tho I see

[@pjfan173]

Would that root area been a little easier with a lock front end? I just bought me first ATV ever at the age of sixty. It’s a 2023 Outlander XT-P 850 max. I’m thinking of buying a second one so other people can ride with me and the same dealer has a XM R 1000. What are your thoughts on it?

The locker makes a world of difference in certain circumstances for sure. I love it

[@jasonberube5625]

I noticed your belt had a little squeal to it. My brand new Outlander Max XT-P 850 started doing that. Technician at my dealership said it will probably stop after a while. Only does it in reverse and forward at low speeds. Is this common on Can Ams?

[@ostacruiser]

This wasn't the belt. I almost thinking motor mount or something like that. Belt can make a bit of noise when really warm, but shouldn't be overly noticeable 99% of the time

[@jasonberube5625]

@@ostacruiser Copy that. Will go through the machine today and start checking bolts. 🤘😖🤘

[@ericlessard5021]

​@@ostacruisertake your seat off and look under the storage compartnent. There is an engine mount right there that only act like a stopper (metal pin in a square hole in the frame. when the engine move on it self because of the front and rear drive shaft being the same shaft and applying the same rotational force on the engine when a lot of torq is demand. The pin hit the frame to limit the engine to move. This is the sound you re hearing.

There should be weight restrictions on the onion lake trail and no more side by sides. Massive damage in those mud holes. Ridiculous.

[@ostacruiser]

The trail definitely takes some abuse...but that's what it's there for. Everywhere a person gets a vantage point all you can see are hundreds of square miles of untouched beauty, this is because everyone sticks to the trail.
