Just got in from a 185 mile ride near Katahdin Mtn, Maine, and I can't stop thinking in snowmobile...

I came across this video on google, (I have the same sled minus the $9K turbo ) and I watched it twice in a row, simply speachless. If this isn't art... IDK what is...

The song is shockingly fitting and graceful. I've never taken it into powder that deep, but I'll tell you... that is the definition of freedom, if I do say so myself.

What do you guys think?

Woah. Now I need two tissues. The other one is for wiping my tears of joy.

While I'm not highly experienced in snowmobile riding, I can imagine how awesome that must feel. Only a few times I've been able to ride in the virgin powder snow, but it was nothing like in that video. Magnificent. Reminds me about riding a dirt bike in desert or huge sand pit or so. I say yes for both freedom and art.

What comes to the music, I think almost any music will fit, cause the video itself is so cool. But I surely would've put something very different. \m/

I got a few Slednecks videos, I warmly recommend them, if you haven't seen any. These guys do some unbelievable things.

Seriously haha... It get me all choked up, I think it's the song lol.

I've managed to pull off some of those moves on my sled, especially the part when he has it practically laying on the side. You feel estatic when the snow if flying everywhere, and you helmet is touching the snow, and you still manage to pull it off.

I used to have the sledneck videos downloaded. But only up to 7. 9 looks insane. A backflip off a mountain? What's next?!

*can't think of something crazier....*

I think Mr. Pastrana might have an answer...

I'm sure you've seen it, but here it is anyway, the famous double backflip:

It's a guy driving a snowmobile in the snow.


I've never snowmobiled before, so this video is just incredibly boring to me.

We'll they're the fastest production vehicles in the world. They can hit speeds of over 120 mph as well. That sled in the video has 350 hp with the turbo.

It's a incredible feeling... My Apex feels like a cruise-missle with skis.

The video is all about mountain riding though, which is like surfing. It takes a huuuge amount of skill to do some of the things he was doing in that video.

EDIT: The music is drowning out the wooshing roar of the 4-stroke 4-cylinder 1000cc 11K rpm racing engine.

Sweet video! I have a mountain sled too and riding in untouched powder like that is sooo fun!
