    Hey! Thanks for making informative videos. I'm watching plenty of them but a common thread I'm struggling with is more than half the video is introduction and then the actual instruction is brief and shown only once! I'd love to see the maneuver like 4 times at different speeds, then explained, then again at full speed. For example, the essence of this video seemed to be "foot forward, foot back" in 5 minutes. More details please!

    • @NextLevelRidingClinics
      @NextLevelRidingClinics 2 месяца назад

      Personally I don’t use the electric start system although with a few lightweight mods to a stock machine you can nearly cancel out the added weight of an ES. Riders with shoulder issues or young/ smaller riders could really benefit from an ES system throughout a day of riding. Personal preference for sure but ES on a Polaris….once it becomes lightweight someday…will be nice 👍

      A great way to think about the glide and what it costs is that it allows you to run 1 track length with the benefits of 2. Buying a skid that makes a 155 feel like a 165 if you needed it to is pretty cool and less money than an additional sled. Plus it’s easy to swap into your next machine 👊

    @christophermaglio1939 2 месяца назад

    Interesting choice of no anti-stab wheels. Fascinating that the really long torque arm design will provide enough lift that even when limit strapped as shown here theres still plenty of front skid load (likes to wheelie). Cool to see different skid designs, would be neat to feel how it rides differently.

  • @sam-ww1wk

    Like your vids, and thank you for them. With that, sounds like a Klim advertisement. Their stuff is good, but way overpriced, and most moto riders think so as none of my friends use it for that reason. It's just stuff that gets trashed anyways. Gortex is good and all, but so are most of the other membrane brands, and it boils down to the dwr anyway. My buddy bought a $600 Klim adv helmet and it broke the first ride. He was jealous of my Euro brand equivelent that cost half. Anyway, just not into the overpriced brands selling the lifestyle. Plenty of killer gear out there, and I like to mix and match depending on the piece.

    Very very helpful sir! I do not aspire to be a “pro” rider nor pursue a career in snowmobiling. I’m 46 years old and got into back country a few years ago. And you said it Dan. Its work! And it’s passionate people like you who help and I for one really appreciate it. The feeling of accomplishment while in the back country is what I do it for. The learning to ride all over again can be frustrating. But when you learn and make it happen learning techniques is all the satisfaction I need. Congratulations on all your hard work paying off, but I can see it’s all about the ride to you as well. That’s what gave you the drive to make it happen. Thank you for all you do and stay safe out there. God bless.

  • @jdhski
    @jdhski 3 месяца назад

    Thanks for the video! I feel like I should address one apparent error in this video. The proper way to reinstall the P22 is to perform initial torque to 140 ft/lbs using a special "tool". The tool is simply a stronger bolt that doesn't have the taper by the threads and is available from Polaris. Once set, remove the tool and replace with the primary clutch bolt and torque to 110 ft/lbs. Highly recommend occasionally rechecking torque and hopefully the new bolt will take the frequent torquing. Polaris and it's ambassadors continue to downplay issues with the P22 and I understand it isn't happening or going to happen to everyone, but for those of use who have had their P22 fall off and/or explode in remote locations, this clutch is guilty until proven innocent.

  • @specforged5651
    @specforged5651 3 месяца назад

    I don’t think it’s “making such a big deal about” when those bolts are breaking all the time. It is an actual big deal when you’re in the backcountry. Take an extra bolt.....easy right.....but the majority of the time it breaks and leaves threads in the crank so a new bolt doesn’t do you any good anyways. The fact of the matter is, this is something we absolutely shouldn’t have to be worried about. And the worst part.....it’s happening year after year.

      A bow tie is a move that’s done typically wrong foot forward with the intent to stay heading in the same direction you started sidehilling. A re-entry is typically done in the neutral position and is more of a up and then down maneuver. Thanks for watching 🙏
