Thank God I'm not the only one singing and talking to myself in my helmet

I and my wife are new to riding sleds, I have years of motorcycle experience street and dirt in Florida. My wife doesn’t ride a motorcycle that doesn’t have three wheels but wants us to buy two sleds when we move to Alaska at the end of ‘24 I am saving all the good videos on riding and repair that I find and this video you made is one of them. We only rode a sled on a guided tour one time so this video is extremely useful for us.
Thanks Brother,
Fred Tanner 👍😎👍

I watch these videos every fall in preparation for the upcoming season. Thanks for making videos that are informative and to the point, they’ve made me a better off trail rider.

Dan, I have been riding for 10 years with some guys that seem to make it look so easy. I have struggled with confidence and been frustrated more times than not trying to keep up. This year I have been watching your videos and putting them to practice and I will say that riding has become far more enjoyable!!! My confidence is sky high and have been places already this year that I normally wouldn't go!! I just want to say thank you!!!!

Been binge watching your videos as Im going pick up my first sled on Saturday

[snowrdr]

Your tutorials have made me 10 times better than I was just a year ago!!! You opened up new worlds for me and I'm thankful!!! Keep up the good work!!!

This video taught me to carve last year thanks for the tips. I'm 13 and I ride a 2009 Ski-doo Renegade 600 with a motor out of a 600RS. It was my first sled that could actually go around a corner (I only had late 90s MXZ's and Arctic Cats before) but I've always done crossover riding even with those older sleds and being able to carve improved my riding a lot. I always tried to just be in a neutral position and lean with countersteer, I never caught onto opposite foot forward until this video

Great video lesson. I ride snowmobiles for work on powerline right of ways ...I've taken riding courses regularly..but i got to say this short video had more good tips than most snowmobile safety courses

[lukebutterfield]

I’ve only been twice
I’m throwing the idea around of investing into a sled, I definitely haven’t had more fun than frustrating moments from lack of knowledge and confidence. Thanks for the advice and helpful tips

[Philstroke]

I’ve learned nothing but i did learn all those tips myself the hard way!!😂Great informative video keep it up! Could of used this info 10 years ago!

[kristenleblond]

Some of the techniques that you describe remind me of when I took my motorcycle course. I super enjoyed this video.

Good stuff Dan. This will just be my second year riding in deep powder out here in Oregon. I was a flat land rider for years and still adjusting to the vast amount of differences. I have been watching all your video's and they have been very helpful i am just trying to build more riding confidence for sure. I definitely need to try and make it out there to Idaho to attend your clinics I think it would be very helpful..

Windsurfing was the same deal. Comparatively effortless after mastered. Thank you very much for this information.

My biggest flaw is shifting my weight in certain situations like turns and hills as he stated. I've caught my sled wanting to tip in corners even though I feel that I am shifting my weight as necessary. Definitely hits my confidence as I feel I have no control over the sled.

Love the vids. Some of the best out there. Not the “look at me and my $40K boosted sled” pretentious crap on other channels just trying to sell stuff. Great tips.

Hi Dan! I've been riding over 45yrs and man how the sleds have changed!!! I ride western Quebec area so never had a mountain sled. I trap so I've had a number of wide track sleds. I bought a 2019 Titan XC last year and it is a blast to ride. This year I got myself 2020 850 SKS 155...first ride I tried to blip the throttle make a sharp turn and fell flat on my side in the snow...laughed at myself while flipping the machine back upright...took me about an hour playing in an open field to get the hang of it. The Titan is fun but the SKS crazy fun. Going riding in Chicoutimi with some friends that almost 20yr younger than me. I'm watching your videos and hoping I can keep up with them!!!

I went snowmobiling for the first time a few weeks ago at rabbit ears pass and wish I watched this video beforehand. It was 8 hours of the hardest thing I've ever done. I'm a seasoned motocross/supercross racer and figured I could pick it up pretty quick, I was absolutely humbled at the end of the day. Thanks for making these vids for us new guys!

[googlestolemyhandle]

I just started riding last year and have made all these mistakes. I am still working to build confidence and get the side hill figured out. Thanks, Dan, for all of these videos! Extremely helpful.

[michaelpershell]

Wow! Simple and common sense. I am a new rider and am hanging onto every word that you say. Bless you sir.

Good video, been at this sport since the early 90's. Your last point of being confident is so often overlooked or taken to the point of over confidence. Which can land you in a tough spot lol Keep up the good work! !!
