Thanks, you had some great shots in there, nice terrain, makes it even better when you have to work to get to the good stuff. Looks like good times, the more things change the more they stay the same.

Very cool! Haven't seen many mountain videos from back in the day.

Life was alot simpler then wasn't it. Nobody saying "you can't go there" "you can't go here" if you could get there you went. Most of the areas people ride today were first explored just like that. Love the video, made me smile.

Great photos! I grew up riding sleds made in the 70s. It wasn't until 1999 when I could afford to buy my first sled that wasn't made before I was born

Gotta love the old Moto Ski's, ......"born on a river bed, raised on a roller coaster", ..I can still remember the old TV ads.

Favoutite of the Moto Skis was the Sonic, 345RV, fast sleds but issues with the Bosch ignition units, ...lol

Thanks for posting

My back hurts after watching that.

Just imagine all those non-groomed trails in with a fantastic 2.5" of suspension travel!

No way! You can't ride short tracks in the mountains!

It is shocking looking at the lines they made. I can't believe a sled from that vintage would make it a 100 yards before getting stuck! Thanks for sharing!
