We sat down with the show’s first guest Terris Baran of Safety Services Manitoba. He was fantastic!!!Terris has a large amount of experience with sleds as a 40+ year rider, and years on the drag racing track.Are you dressed for success on the snow? How about your helmet? We take a dive into the different brain buckets out there.There is never a downside to additional training. No matter your age or skill level you will always learn something new.When riding as a group with different experience levels do you assign a leader and a tail? It’s the best way to ensure the group stays together.Terris has some great drag racing stories. He’s a Yamaha guy and has done some very cool mod’s to his sleds.Steve and Terris go on a rant about their sled collections they both have some incredible collectibles.Connect With Ushttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057548599398

Vintage Classic Antique Oh My
We started out trying to define vintage sleds. This is a topic we want to hear from you on. The first ever Turtle Mountain grass drags (both sleds were evenly matched), slider lube, and the hazards of hay bales on the strip. What could happen for future events.We cover a concerning topic. Trail closures are happening across Ontario for several reasons, but as always funding plays a big role. Ste. Agathe announced a new warm up shack after the summer forest fires destroyed the original shack. They have a fantastic trail system the ends in Woodridge connecting to the South East Snow Riders trail system. Add this to your list of rides this season!Tech Tips cover cylinder compression. Don’t let bad compression lead to sled depression. Do your homework before buying. Even as a preseason check it’s a good idea.What was he thinking? A club president was asking poorly. If your club doesn’t have an AGM, HAVE ONE! We have an update from Winters Coming on the guy who killed the wolf. If you didn’t hear about that go back to that episode to check it out.Connect With Ushttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057548599398

Giving Thanks For Snowmobiling
Because everything after Thanksgiving is a little stretched, we felt we best keep with the times.We cover a lot of ground in this episode. Starting with the great debate. Which manufacturer is the best….. We even talked about manufacturers who were ahead of their time and many that are long past. In Tech Tips we go comfortably into suspensions from inspection to set ups. The conversation goes into new tech and to riders getting ripped off by trusted professionals.You won’t want to miss a second!Connect With Ushttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057548599398

We love to talk all things snowmobiling. We started riding together in the mid 70's and have seen some amazing changes. From pulling the cord to pulling our hair out. We have no shortage of stories to share!Sledding has always been a passion of ours and we want to share some of those stories and experiences with you.Nothing would make us happier than introducing this great sport to new riders or rekindling a lost love by reintroducing snowmobiling to past riders and getting them back on the trails.
