I know its long but it is kinda tough to have hours of great footage and condense it into only a few minute vid, glad to see winter is back for a little longer here in central WA.

It looks like the same guys that were up at Sugar Loaf on Saturday. There were 5 or 6 guys blasting around, and I have to say those bikes go everywhere! First time I have seen that many at one time, fun to watch and putting that on the bucket list for things to DOO! Had newbes with me and they have never seen this before and their thinking of doing this to their duel sports! Great day sledding and I was on the Blue DOO! You guys kicked A$$! thanks

That was us, I helped pull your ski around at the lookout! Great day up there!

It seemed we had the whole area to ourselves! did it take you guys long to learn how to ride with the kits on

You pick it up quick, way easier than a sled. My buddy rode mine for the first time earlier in the season and after 10 minutes he was doing sidehills, that looked like he had been on it for years. They're pretty easy to ride compared to a sled, at least in the backcountry.

Sounds like a never ending fart.

That is something that I have got to try maybe even buy. Just seems a little slow motion to me, do those things haul a$$ when you want em to? Not sure they would be a repalcement for my Pro. IDK

That's what I thought about my dragon, but I couldn't care less about sleds now. The places these things can go is incredible and I burn about a third of the fuel and no two stroke oil or $180 belts. And I can fit three bikes in my truck bed without my sled deck or trailer. I have three sleds still and haven't rode either all winter! It's just different, I think everyone needs to try it. It's not for everyone, I think if you're a road rider/racer, stick to a sled but if you boondock, cross country through the backcountry, these are the ticket. I was at baker a couple weeks ago and I figured that'd be the place I would want my sled. But we had a blast on the bikes!

Nice video, I ride that area a lot and it looked like the bikes are way more maneuverable in that terrain. Strait Down-hill may be a little weird? Very tempting... what if your not real comfortable on a bike? is it stable?

I never rode a bike before I bought mine, put the kit on in January and went for it. They are pretty stable. They stand up by themselves. Going down is as much fun as goin up, I like to switchback back and forth kinda like a snowboarder.
