Continue being an ambassador for the sport, not a Brand. Tell it like it is and you’ll be respected by all riders.

I have to echo the comments that say being a factory rider would change this channel not for the better. Of course it's everyones dream to be sponsored by the OEM, but being the honest Freerider adds a lot to your content and clearly its heavily appreciated by all. Keep it up man, this channel keeps getting better.

[boser]

You should do a shop talk video about the sponsor topic and the industry in general. I found your comments at the end interesting and the best part of being independent just like in the “ media “ you can say what you want!

[Ridelife]

Yo Matt! You are my favorite rider and YouTuber. F@$K all the haters (Backyard Skidoo pro’s/ambassadors.) You have made yourself a name in this industry all by yourself. No help from any factory team. You continue to prove your dignity and integrity and I really appreciate that about you. You call it like it is and that is BADASS dude! Keep doing what you’re doing. This is just the beginning of HUGE things to come for yourself and your crew/friends. Love your content and look forward to the 2025 season homie! Cheers 🍻

[jeffbrown]

Your edits are so much better than anybody else doing this always changing always getting better

[cheeseymccheese]

F*cked up the Ski Doo fellas sold you out. Considering you're in the top 1% of pro sledders on youtube. Im confident saying your sledding videos get more views than any other pro sledder.

[markkosel]

There’s a reason I keep tuning in….he’s the Freerider. I appreciate the honesty, I love all those shots from places I could never reach. And I love the editing as I know how much work it is. Thanks for taking us with you Matt.

[teachdougie]

Dude, you are a humble down-to-earth real guy and you also aren’t afraid to speak your mind and document when you see short-falls on the machines. As I’m sure you always hear, that’s what so many of your viewers love about you. It seems like those who are tied to brands can’t say a single negative comment or even constructive criticism about their brand when something just isn’t right. Keep doing what you are doing man! 👍🏼

[films]

A fun day to watch as usual! Looking forward to another season!

[jasonmacdonald]

Early year jitters I can understand. Especially when sleds are 30k. Some may be sponsored and not have to pay for sleds. Either way you hold your own and have earned your place to ride with the pro’s my guys. Happy to see you all back. Btw I would love to hear the Ski Doo story. I believe you should have been an ambassador a long time ago! You deserve it! But as you said it worked out better of you. But I would like to hear that story even if it isn’t public. You’re an inspiration Matt. Your channel is one I’ve been watching for years and for good reason. You have earned your place among the greats by determination and hard work! And it doesn’t matter if you’re not considered a pro rider. You ride like a pro and ride with the pro’s. You have my support and respect and I hope you have a great season doing what you love with the people you love. God bless you and your family/crew. Believe it or not you have contributed to many snowmobile channels. Without your channel I wouldn’t know some of the other channels out right now. They have all put in the work. But you introduced many of them to me personally. Ride on! 🤟🤟

We need to hear the full story of Doo vs you. They missed out. Sucks to be them. Keep killing it man. Ima guess it's Rob...

[galensteria]

Another awesome video... Matt I wouldn't worry about what the "company professionals" think u are the real deal down to earth on the common man's level willing to have old iron on the sled deck and your personality is awesome.... the photography and videos are second to none.... keep em

[zachmyers]

No better way to end a day of work than a Muskoka video👍🏼

[brpmd]

To whomever watches from ski doo… I hope you read the comments as well, if it were not for Matt I would never have purchased a ski doo. After riding Polaris for over 20 years, the last 2 seasons I’ve purchased 2 new ski doos, 24 freeride 146 turbo and this year 25 expert 154 turbo… all because of watching Matt’s videos, he’s amazing ambassador for the sport and represents ski doo very well, thanks Matt! I love my 2 doos, assuming you were in break in all day as well…

[robgoffroad]

I love the color and wrap on the new sled. I like the wraps that are less "busy" so you can still see the lines of it. This is NOT a knock, but rather empathy -- when I hear your heavy breathing, I almost get PTSD from my own rides where I'm freakin' exhausted.

[shawnboy]

I've never thought about it before but it is crazy that you don't have an ambassador deal considering the amount of publicity you have. Nonetheless one of my favourite things about your channel is that you ride different brand sleds and can speak on them without bias

[MikeAllan-kzqz]

U r the best u tube sled content, dont let big time sled companies have any credit. They all are lucky u use their sleds, u will shine on any u ride.have a sweet winter. Mike

[matshallstensson]

Can only say that you make the best snowmobiles movies!!! Best regards from Sweden 🇸🇪 👍👍👍👍👍

[romz_rider]

For me your videos are really great, especially over the winter time. I'm a passionate motorcyclist and in the winter when I can't drive I really enjoy watching your videos even though I have no idea about snowmobiles. I think it has a lot in common with what we motorcyclists do in the summer on the curvy roads. I feel the vibe. Keep it up ;)

[Jdubsleddin]

these drone shots are absolutely shows how crazy everything really is!!!
