Who's got the maddest boondocking skills

I have a turbo yamaha and have since 04. I watch all the videos and there are some spectacular riders on both, but what Burandt does on light sleds I have not seen done on the 4 strokes. BUT put Chris on Liards sled.... not happening. I love boondocking on my Yamaha in the right conditions but I could do better on a turbo 2 stroke.

i rode with bret on two different occasions last season and chris once. The videos you see of them DO NOT put their skills in perspective. Anyone who says "so and so can def hang with those guys" hasnt actually seen them ride. I always thought the segments you see of them in videos was all the highlight footage... wrong. They are pulling amazing **** all day long and making it look easy. In the Schooled again video, the "stocker day" section was all shot in about a 6 hour day. George captured some awesome footage but a lot of the time we would get to a new hill and he wouldnt even have the camera set up yet and those two were already ripping. That was the third time i rode with bret last season and the first time i had ever seen chris ride and he manhandled that new pro rmk and it was his FIRST FULL DAY ON THAT CHASSIS. He pulled out two prototypes, a pro and an assault and got on them and made it look like he had been riding them all season. I will contribute some of that to the chassis being awesome but he was going the pro rmk, to the assault, to the m8, to a dragon all day and never even skipped a beat. Those two guys are unbelievable. I have always been taught that is is always someone bigger, faster, badder, etc but i have complete confidence saying that there is nobody out there that those two couldnt hang with. The only way i can really try and put it into perspective is.... there is a HUGE gap between an awesome amateur rider and two guys who snowmobile 120+ days a year.

hmm.lets do some math here........

youngtsers that ride 120 days a year times 5 years = 600 days

old farts that rode 60 days a year times 45 years = 2700 days.:pop2:

Youngster; If I wreck it the company buys it. (Or mommy and Daddy)

Old Fart: If I wreck it I buy it.

I would bet SNOWMOBILER would give them a run if he had the same unlimited resources. He sure has the attitude.

So true, Chris and Brett are unreal riders. Another name to throw into the mix is KJ, he isn't a tree hugger like Chris and Brett, but he is F^&king insane and insanely talented on a sled. If the definition of boondocking includes crazy technical, high consequence descents, which I think it should because sleds go all directions, KJ is balls out sick gnar. If you take all three of these guys and combine their riding styles, that is the future evolution of mountain riding.
 
One thing to say, please show me the guys on the 4 strokes hang with us that ride 2 strokes. I need to see this with my eyes. Thick trees, no chutes to pull out of the trees. For sure will take nothing away from the guys that pull the crazy lines, and there are many. Just don't see it, Sorry! As for the best well it would have to go to Chris, Bret.

im not very old but i have learned a few things, one of them is never say never... Look at some of the guys who do well on the RMSHA circuit. I bet someone like Nate Zollinger (spelling?) could take a 4 stroke turbo anywhere.
