New World Record with snowmobile on water 212 km

Gratulerer med verdensrekorden Morten Blien. Her er en liten smakebit av det som er filmet på denne turen. Over 21 mil på scooteren, der er rått. Lykke til i kveld. Del gjerne filmen.

Blien did surpass the mark, but he fell short of his goal of 245 km when his sled inexplicably stopped in the middle of the river after 212 km.
Blien said he wasn’t sure what ultimately caused the snowmobile to quit. An additional throttle lever had been installed on the sled so that if one hand got tired, Blien could use the other to power the sled. It’s possible that a malfunction caused the gas to stop flowing adequately to the engine.

The world record attempt still needs to be submitted to Guinness for approval. There is some uncertainty about whether it will be approved since Blien did not drive the snowmobile ashore.
The entire trip lasted four hours. Blien was tired but satisfied after his run, saying that he considered everything after 180 km to be a bonus. He was also surprised at the number of local people who came out in the cold weather to support him.

Dodging boulders in a river rapids with a snow sled is impressive in itself - never mind the distance record!!

Girl: You should come over
Guy: Your over 200km away from me and all I have is my Snowmobile.
Girl: My parents aren’t home

Thats awesome. I freaking love snowmobiling. Id love to try this. Ive never done more than maybe 200 yards straight. Really aslong as you keep your speed up and dont physically turn the handlebars or run out of gas, you are fine. You can lean, but if you actually turn the handlebars youll drop like a rock. My stepdad actually sunk one once doing that. Luckily the water was only like 3ft deep, but he didnt know that. He was frantically swimming away and one of his friends yells "stand up!". He stood up only to realize the water is so shallow his handlebars were still sticking out. All he had to do was kill the sled and walk out. Thats not to say there wasnt any damage though.. there was, but we fixed it prwtty easily.

it seems like the snow mobile is close to the perfect water vehiecle

Riding on lakes is what we Americans do. Kinda wimpy compared to riding upriver thru a boulder field. Well Done! Norwegians are some bad-ass vikings.

This is total inspiration for me ... thank you ... thank you ... thank you ...

What brought him to a stop? Looks like he had more river to go.

Music unique & tremendous. . The guy truly an athlete - that would not be easy at all. Rocks a great danger too!

[RippledRealm]

Would you need a boating license to do this?

[frogman]

Ok, so other than dodging the rocks, which was pretty frikin' cool, is the thing to just not loose balance or momentum and wait till you run out of fuel?

[mcpheonixx]

Awesome achievement and great music too. Would love to know who the musicians are.

Next record would be traveling 213 miles on water with an ATV.

You're an animal! That's cool. Bet you were glad to get off that thing! I might have the opposite record. I just went 212 cm with my wave runner on snow.

Вот на чем пороги на реке нужно преодолевать!

[zurdleswinchester]

At 2 minutes 12 seconds he hit the rock so he never fully made the record

[sambosomethin]

Did it run out of fuel? What was it that stopped him after 212km?

[dankdsign]

Only 131 miles before catastrophic polaris.
