$1000 snowmobile FINALE! Wheelies, jumps, and carnage!

Are we in Indianapolis? No, we're in Michigan. Sure are. Why is that called an Indy, Doug? Someone tell me. I'll be honest with you, that's a great question. I have no idea. You know? Don't know. Okay, Matt, what's going on today? Day two, bud. Oh man, today is the day we're gonna do a trail rip. Like an actual, I don't know, 50 mile rip to actually go somewhere. And so that should be fun. Frank, did you fix your seat? Oh no. Frank's seat just fell off. Yeah. What the hell? Okay, that's a no. We gotta go to town anyway, so. Okay. Mine's all fixed up, I think. So it's time for redemption for the cat. And then we've got some pretty interesting challenges coming up, so. Frank's is fixed too. Light bar was creating a load. Then there was no load. Then it didn't run right. Yeah. Screwed myself on that one. Staters, staters, staters and potatoes. Hook some wires back up. That thing's ripping again. Matt's ripping again. Ripping. It's gonna be a good day. Tough break. Here's where we are with point standings. I only know this because I'm in first. Me, 23 points. 23 points, yep. These two, 20 points. 20 points. Striking distance. Wow. Striking distance. Frank, 19 points. 19 points. I'm coming for you, bud. Oh, no problem. And yeah, because of my running issues, I got 14 points. Could be worse. You could be Mike Reed with eight points. No, DNF on a lot of stuff. Yeah, keep on enjoying your ride, you loser. Anyway. Let's go. Yeah, let's get out of here. Oh, no. Frank, what happened, bud? I don't know, bud. You locked up. Sucker's locked, dude. Sucker did that, dude. Made it about as far as you did yesterday with Matt's. Yeah, seriously. I was getting right next to you guys to get like a nice follow shot. And then you, Frank and Doug took off. Then it was just, Frank just locked up. Oh, yeah. He's boned up. Oh, boys. Sweet. Go get the apex, Frank. A few moments later. Just a good little rip out there. Yeah, good to go. Thanks. Steve's sending it. Good job, buddy. Vibration. I can't feel my hands and legs anymore. Let me see. Oh, I can feel them. You're good, still. Yeah, they're still there. Why don't you just ride a better slug so you get to enjoy at least part of your trip? I don't want to subject anyone to this torture. Matt, come on. How's your unit over there? Good, really good. How's it holding up out there? Just having the stupid helmet. My biggest issue is these helmets. Well, you took a crappy one and then took an even worse one. I know. That one, though, at least my face was warm, but just almost too much. Did you do one of these little happiness? Okay. Riding behind Nitro, though, dude. You'll get some pebbles in the eyeballs. Just come up front with the two-stroke group. Well, while Doug's test riding Matt's rig, Nick's going to do what? I mean, there's nothing better to do than get Zeus out here and hit this wonderful jump we have sitting right over here. Look at this jump, dude. This thing was made for an XLT. I don't think he's jumped yet. This is first time? Yeah. First time, all right. This'll be cool. This'll be real good. This is scary. No problem. He jacked him up so hard he almost ran you over. Dude, you look like a frigging 1995 Polaris spokesman right now. How was it, dude? Takes a lot to jump this thing. My heart's pounding, dude. Not from the excitement, but just from the sheer weight, dude. How about Doug's heart? Is it pounding from this ZR or what? The ZR, unfortunately, does have some major, major issues. Basically impossible to ride. I don't know if it's a major electrical slash ignition failure or if there's internals. If all the reeds are missing, something very bad is going on. I don't think this thing is able to compete. Wow. Whoa. Did Doug just disqualify you? No, I already decided on the way here, this is out. You disqualified yourself? Completely out. And then there were four, boys. Sucker. I never clearly said that I was out, so does that make me? Yeah, you're out, dude. You're done. I was still on the trail. I saw your dad, dude. You're probably fourth place, though. I scratched off the VINs, dude, so you can just leave it. Matt can figure that out. He made it farther. He made it farther, though, I guess. He needs to, you know. It's all about the points, so. Yeah, that's true. Frank's got more points than me. You could still accumulate some points if you wanted to, though. Right, you can get some points. That is true. Yeah, just at least try the competitions. Just trying it gets you. We'll talk about it. More points than I got. Right now, it's more of a mental thing, you know. We'll figure it out. Beaten down, but I get it. All right, we'll go find the spot. Let's do it. Not bad. I broke him off the bike. Well, you guys saw that, right? It's time for the first competition of the day. I would say the trail ride competition, which wasn't really even a competition. Abbott's wins and losses. Frank's machine's done, Matt's machine's done. Mine is. It won't get out of its own way anymore, so. We're down to half of the group, and one third of the group has ridden a snowmobile before yesterday. Me and Nick haven't. Doesn't mean we're not gonna do a wheelie competition. I don't know, bud. I just did some testers. There's almost no way I'm winning this one. Not for sure. I don't think. I don't think so, but good luck, brother. Yeah, I don't know that I'll be able to get my sled to do a wheelie either, so. Can we stand on the back? Yeah, you can do whatever you want. Stand on the back? Yeah, best of three. Let's try it, have some fun. All right, so for this competition, we got Frankie Unit, we got Mike Reed, and we got Steve and Matt as the judges. Yep. So best of three. I say we just do round robin, okay? Yeah. Best of three, three attempts. Have a little sesh. Whoever sends it the biggest, I guess it's your guys. How do we wanna judge this? What do you wanna do? Wheelies only or jumping? I think wheelies only, right? I mean, I think you just gotta go verticality and distance. Yep. Pretty much. This guy's a genius. Best wheelie. Verticality and distance. All right, let's do it. Verticality. We have vertigo out here, dude. All right, here we go. Wheelie competition, down to three. We're gaining more judges as we go. Less competitors. That's all right, though. Here comes Doug. Okay. He spun out a little bit. Oh man, Leo's getting on the back bar. Oh, not, oh man, this is gonna be bad. This is gonna be bad. Ha ha! Oh, he should've left it going. He got the height. What do you guys think so far? I mean, I gotta give it to Leo so far. I think he's been the highest. Yep. Doug's coming in now. Wow. All right, a little more speed. Hit it! Oh, that was good. Oh, I don't know. Here comes their final attempts. You know we can't let Leo win this, right? We gotta tell him somebody else won, at least. Hey, up there. Okay, that's a good one. He got a wheelie. That was pretty sweet. That is pretty hard, turns out. Don't grab on. Yeah, I ain't doing that. What grab bar for you? You were the only one that did a grab bar. I didn't grab bar either. I mean, it was pretty clear up until that very last run. Yeah, Doug's last run. Who the leader was. Was Sonny. I saw a lot of dirt come off, which is a good thing for this competition. Yeah, it got a little weird. It kind of did a, I was really thinking it was gonna grab and really stand up, and then it just sort of went, and I was like, all right, I see what you're doing there, but we'll go with it. Till the final, I would say you had three consistent ones in a row that just came up real nice, had a good wheelie. But nothing was exotic. But, Doug's last and third final ones did look pretty cool. Dang it. Zeus, you got credit all day, brother. Just consistent. No, what's really funny is these guys down here are just literally laughing at us. We're wheelieing all these guys. All those lads are just wheelie-backwards sitting over there. What is that, alien technology over there? They don't even have starters, they're sold in advance. What's the official call? Mike Reed, make the call. Did you guys discuss it? I think we know what it is. I had Leo until Doug's last wheelie, because it looked natural, it was legit, there was no bar, it wheelied well. I gotta go with Doug. All right, is that the consensus? Yep, I think so. Good job, Doug. You guys are one, two, three. So, Ryan's second then, and Ben third? I don't know, man. We'll tally it up. I broke the bumper on this thing. Yeah, we know, we watched. You should've seen him. Look over there. That's something that doesn't rule. Articat. Because she ain't fixed. Yeah, Articat, she's done. Do you want to run on this competition to get points? You can still get points. You can just one wheelie get a point. No. I got it. All right, so we're setting up for our figure eight race here. Matt was out there running the track. Get on the nitro. Poor guy, dude. Rolls the nitro over. Rolls his sled that he loves so much. Rolls Mike's new sled over. But what we do have is a nice figure eight course. So, I believe it's going to be two laps around. Fastest laps, total time wins. It's not an easy course. There's a stump on the outside. There's an off camber turn. Either someone's rolling or everybody's going slow. Little bit wacky. This is one stump. The other stump's over there. You know what a figure eight is. No rules other than that. Yeah, let's get this going. Figure out who's up first. All right, next who's decides he's the first competitor. Competitor! I don't know. His sled does slide around real nice. So, that could be an advantage here, but who's to say? I don't know. Oh my gosh, with the fury. Very good. Yeah, bring it back, bring it back. Whoa! All right, let's do one redo. All right, we'll give him a do-over. All right, take two. Redo. Putting his body weight into the corner. Okay. Oh, good job. Spot that stump, spot that stump. Oh yeah. Oh! Yeah! Look at that thing slip and slide. You got it, dude. Doing it! He's doing it! Yeah! All right, right when he crosses the stump, Frank. There we go! Man, across the line. Man! Dang. That was good. Good job, Nick Soos! Well done, dude. Well done. How was that? Good luck, dude. All right, Frank, what's the official number? Oh, we did lap. I did a lap. That was my bad. So, basically, 17.9 plus 15.8. You're 15.5. I'll do that math on the editing later. All right. Screenshot that so we have those numbers. Nice work, nice work. So, I think we're trying to go to a perceived skill level. I think Doug's the highest perceived skill. Me and Nick are probably tied. He just jumped right in. So, I'm gonna go next. Let's do it. All right, all right. I'm gonna be honest, I didn't know if you were gonna save it over there. Dude, I had her. Good job, dude. Good job, bud. Ready? Okay, big hole shot. Oh! A lot of speed. You guys can't tell it on camera, but this is pretty off camera. Really off camera. And I think you got it. Holy moly. Wow. This is really hard. Good morning, you nerds. Oh my gosh. Great job, man. Dude, that's so hard. That's so hard. How do these guys do that? I mean, this is not necessarily what sleds are meant to do, quite. It's kind of like barrel racing. Give it to me raw, bro. It feels like barrel racing. How you think you did? Like a 37. Nope. What was it? Wow. 32. Yeah! Wow! What did I get, bro? 33? 33. Oh my gosh. I mean, we'll have to verify in the video, but. So, yours is what? 32. Point? Five. Oh, five. All right. All right, yeah. Really wrangled that thing. Ah! Yeah, I'll tell you one thing about what just happened there. It took suspiciously long for him to start that thing. Ha ha ha ha. Start. Into the first stump. Ah, that's so good! So good! Yeah, yeah. Oh! Oh, no! No, no, no! Where is he going? Where are you going? Oh! Oh, no! He's going to do a reversal. Oh, what the? Let's give him a redo. All right. Let's give him a redo. Okay. Give him a redo. I blew it, dude! I blew it! Dude, you can do a redo! We're giving you the redo like we did Zeus. No, dude, that's what happened. That's racing. No, it's racing. Are you sure? That's racing, dude. Go get the redo. No, take it! I want you to try. You gotta take it, dude. All right, give us an exhibition run. Untimed. Untimed exhibition run. Whoa! There he goes. Same thing. Oh! Same thing. Can't get it to turn. That's it. This isn't how I wanted to win this competition, because I- I want a replay on this camera. I'm going to call it right now. I need these points. I need it. I need these points. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. You want to have a run off? We'll do it again right now. I'm pretty sure that's good. Why don't you go doubles? Let's do a run off. Wait, we ain't doing doubles. I'll let you off right now. I'm calling you off. All right, let's do it. All right. I need two. I need two phones. Run your phone. I like how he puts his knee on the seat, like he's a pro, and then immediately sits down. All right, we got two phones on this one, boys. All right. All right, I'm into the first stump. A lot of beef. Wow. Whoa! What the hell was that? Look at that butt cheek, dude. Here we go. Wow. That's going to be a tough one. Wow. That's going to be a tough one. And he's gone. Look at the gigglies, dude. Going down. That boy brought all the fury on that one. Uh-huh. Hard in the corner. Oh, dang it. What happened? Look at that, boys. Making snow angels? I don't care. I'm fine. Let's try to get that over there, dude. Well, you had to push her hard. Things have changed. You're right. I told you, the track has changed. Congratulations on the W. I didn't want it to end like this, dude. I didn't want it to end like this. Good job, man. I need these points, boys. So, just to clarify, we had to beat anyways. Yeah. Me and Frank both checked. We were both off between each other by 0.2. 28.37 is what I had you at. Frank had you at a 21.3. Or 28.13, sorry. He was 28-something, yeah. Way faster. Dude, Ronald Foster, Nick Soos, and the figure-eight champ, boys. Nice work. It was all the jacket. Couldn't have done it without the shooting star. I don't know how you made that corner. I came into it. I tried letting out. Sucker's dead. All's over. I don't know either, man. Just too good. Too much beef. I think it has a lot to do with the track. Mine slides out. I think it has a lot. If I gun her, it'll come back around. I think it's really just that desperation want for points. That's also a big portion of it. I think that's a huge part of it. Yeah, no doubt. Well, I think we have a lot of planes banging to continue doing here. Yeah, yeah. And then we got our final challenge, Tug of War. That's gonna happen back at Frankie's. This is a big one. Are you gonna participate in that? Yeah. Wow. A little longer than a few minutes later. Through the ice. Sucker is buried, dude. Oh, Steve. Oh, double. Jesus, dude. Yeah. Wow. That was full on waist deep water. Oh my God. Let's see if we can put a strap on the back of it. I mean. I got extra gloves. I wouldn't have a problem. Yeah. Are we ready? One, two, three. Yeah, she's going. She's going. One, two, three. We're out of the water. Ease up. Don't go under, Bill. Ooh. I'm good. Well, Steve just broke through here and got a soaker. I jokingly said the only way that we can really fix this issue is by asserting dominance and flying over the hole. Frankie's going to skip the whole thing on my sled. I'm not doing it. I don't know what I'm doing. There's a giant hole in my back. Yeah, Frankie. Hell yeah, dude. Hey, good job, buddy. That way nobody else will get stuck in there. True. That thing makes them steam quick. Zeus, you got quite a few lugs on that thing. Well, Matt, we're down to our final challenge, bud. What's going on here? This is it. This is for all the marbles. It's a close challenge so far between the top three. What are the points? Obviously we lost three, but anyway, the points. Zeus and Doug are actually tied. No way. 30 points. Wow. Unbelievable. Yep. And you still have the lead at 33. Wow. This could end in a tie if I lose. It could end in a tie. It could. Can't actually. We're gonna find out. In a tie. You're actually locked in as the victor at this point. Oh yeah, okay, because it's only two points less. Because I would get, oh yeah, you're right. Three left. Unless mine breaks. Unless yours breaks. I just hate to do it that way, right? We've come so far. I know. We've gone over so many different things. We've lasted over so many machines. Hey, you're lucky that we didn't get the Corvette we were gonna give away for the winner of this, because I'd be in a much different position in terms of arguing. Yeah, it was a nice car. Dang it. Anyway, yeah, I don't know what you're talking about, so. We were gonna get a C5 for the winner. Oh, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Didn't happen. That sounds rigged to me. I don't know, dude, Leo's won a C5 for the last 10 years. Well, so does Matt. I'd take one. This would have been it? We're gonna be this close to each other? Oh my God. Oh yeah. I don't know what to expect here. This is gonna be real aggressive. She's in! She broke! I heard some grinding. It's not like mine broke. That was not good. What was that chain we heard skipping a little while ago? Yours is parked just like mine, bud. Wasn't that after you rode it, Frank? It'll be okay. Yeah, we could've seen that coming. Not a huge surprise that that didn't go well. For a second there, I thought maybe. It looked like Nick was pulling me for like a minute. He did go that way. Those Polaris made a little move, and then everything exploded. Your back was getting pelted. That was so funny. Maybe there's a reason nobody does this. I think we found out why. This could be it. Do we go to the road? No. Let's see if mine will actually move first. I think she's good. Nothing to see here. No big deal. Totally weren't trying to have a tug-of-war competition here. We're fixing it. All right, so we're doing a braking challenge. It's Gran Turismo style, if you've ever played that game and done those darn license tests. Gotta start at this sign, and that's when the timer starts. And he's gotta come over here and stop within this window between the pole and Frank's sled. Then the time stops. Oh! Dang it! All right, you get one more try. Two tries? Yep. I think two tries is fair. Don't you think? Two tries is fair. All right. This is gonna be... Better than you think, yeah, exactly. Tougher. Ready? Yep. Whoa! Did he make it? Yeah, boy! Ha ha ha ha ha! Woo! Wow! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! That's what I figured. Skidding that sucker sideways with like four inches to go. That was an excellent job. I thought she was gonna roll. Cause you actually went a little bit farther that time before you hit the brake. Man. I was like, no way! We weren't really sure how competitive this type of thing would be, but... I think techniques here are gonna be vastly different. I thought you were gonna DNF there. I thought you were gonna do it a second time. That was a really good job. Two tries and you're out. All right, who's up next? You want me to go or you want me to go? It don't matter, whatever you want, man. I'll defer to you. What do you want? You can go. Oh, boys. That was actually kind of scary. It looked scary. I thought I was gonna roll. I don't know what Doug's gonna do here. Ha ha! Okay! He's in the box. Just past the pole. That post doesn't mean that's when you start braking. No, I know that. I was literally never down here. So I didn't realize we got like 40 feet, but dang it. All right. That's all right. Round two, Doug. Oh, is that in there? I don't know, but... Frank made up a berm rule. That was never discussed. I know. We just talked about it. I think it's fair. You're not like overly... That's legal all day. Legal all day. I mean, it's okay, it's okay. How do you feel about that? Honestly, super fun. Way better competition than I anticipated. Yeah. You weren't too excited about it at first. I know, I wasn't kidding. I thought it was gonna be really lame. We were all gonna get identical times. There was gonna be nothing to it. Turns out there's something to it. Yeah. Okay, so I was just saying, as I was watching your run. Yep. This is our first time being down here. Yep. You were braking and stopping far before the end, which I think is really gonna help your time. Yeah. Hopefully, hopefully, yeah. I was trying to get it stopped like just in. As soon as possible. And the first time I was a little too conservative. I had to whack the throttle a little bit to get it into the box. But I think I still left the door open, certainly to go faster. We'll see how he does. A lot of shitting. Oh! No good. Mike says no good. Walker's dead, dude. Didn't he learn anything from you? Next to you is front two. All that American beef, that sucker's sliding, dude. So stupid, I'm like, man, I was gonna be so close. And I see my rear. You're out of here. That sucks. That's a good challenge, right? Turns out, that's a good challenge. That's fun. Out of nowhere. Do we have results for said challenge yet? Oh yeah, Mike's got the results. All right, you guys ready for this? Yeah. This whole thing. Not bad, this is pretty close. Slowest time at 6.35. That's, wow. That was only six seconds? 6.35. Oh! Oh, really? You and your thumb? I was just gonna move this. Guy couldn't focus good. He told me he had to pee real bad. He couldn't focus at all. I do have to pee so bad. Dude, there's a hundred trees. Ah! Okay. So. What's the difference? Between, the difference between the two is .29. No! No. Tight, tight. And that's good. Who does everyone think took it? I think Doug. I think he stopped playing sooner. Because I stopped sooner, I think it should be me, but also I think Leo slid a bit faster. I mean, for how different you guys ran that deal. We don't know, ain't nobody can tell. I'm a believer of technique. Thinking things through. Not just being crazy about it. First place, got a 5.63. Wow. Okay. Leo. Oh! Wow. There's no point in having a work challenge. That was a serious technique. You're done. Great work. That's why I say, I'm always a believer in technique, but just wide open throttle to just stop him. I paid him off. I knew it, dude! He gets to keep the sled. I knew you bought his thumbs. I mean, yeah, this isn't quite the high note we wanted to end on with the tug of war, but it don't work. Yeah, the tug of war. What are you going to do? It's supposed to be the grand finale. It's not. Oh well. And we lost a bunch of the sleds. I don't know. Like I'm, you know, overall super happy. We did some good challenges. Yeah. We got a winner and legitimately from the start, like your sled was like, yup, this is one of the best sleds. Yeah, for sure. It makes a lot of sense. At the same time, I don't feel quite satisfied. I know. I want to keep doing stuff. We got to do something. We had talked about this final super challenge. Comment below if we should do this. I want to take him somewhere where we can water skip until we can't water skip no more. Oh, really? The super challenge. We're talking, you take off in the water. You don't stop until it stops. Hey brother. Good luck. I'll see you at the cabin. Good luck on that challenge, dude. I don't think it's going to start again. Sucks, man. That was awesome. Regardless, that was so much fun. Since that won't be today, can we fix machines? Oh yeah, we can fix machines, sure. I mean, yeah. Thank God. Mike needs a primary. You need a whole new whatever the hell. What's broke on yours? I don't know, probably a chain. Okay, okay. I need a whole new sled, I think. Fix all these sleds and ride them more. I don't know. Yeah, I had a super fun time on this trip. I agree. Problems solved. It's a great weekend. Super fun. Yeah, it's still fun. Huge shout out to JD for giving us the house. Link to the VRBO down below. Rent it. It's available year round. It's awesome in the summer for side-by-sides or whatever the hell you're doing outdoors. It's awesome for the winter, obviously for sleds. It's built around sleds. Heat floors. It's excellent. Your snowmobiles come in in the morning, everything's melted, dried, just mint. Fire right up. Yeah, sucker's good to go. Sorry you're not satisfied, man, but we got more sledding to do. Oh, it's just because I want to do more sledding? I know, that's all. I'm just having a great time, so. I think we should buy sleds. This could be a big turning point for the group. Nick Sush, you talked about it. Pretty hard on the sleds, man. That's good fun. It's like, it's a combination of things that you don't really get anywhere else, I feel like. Yeah, it's very unique. Yeah. I like suspension, you know? I like friendship, you know? A lot of things I enjoy about this sport. I get it, I get it. Camaraderie eating, fancy houses. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think we should probably get sleds. That's pretty. And I think we can all agree, who has not seen him the happiest riding a 95? We talked about this already. He was yelling at us earlier. Yesterday. I mean. Off camera, Nick got super mad. Anyway, wow. Huge thanks to everybody involved in making this trip possible. Mike and Doug, and I'm not really sure who else. Matt, for sure, did a lot of work. And you guys all, Auxiliary, brought us together to make this all happen. And that was a big deal. Big deal. Me with the Sonic cleaner. Dude, Sonic KG up. Yes, dude. I'll give myself credit. You brought that thing, Sonic, to life, dude. Would've been fine without it, probably. Probably, but man. Yeah, I really appreciate all the guys helping this and appreciate you guys watching this type of content. This is new. It's side-by-side blog. It says it up here. Right there. But we're on snowmobiles, getting the most views we've ever gotten, so. Yeah, the S's could mean something else. Yeah, sled. Sled by sled. Who thinks just sled by sled? Sled by side. Snow by sled blog. I don't know. We'll figure it out. We like it. We're having fun. It makes sense. Thank you guys for supporting it. Had a blast. Cheap sled challenge. I think it's gonna be back. In the summer. Cheap quad challenge. With something different. Yes. Dang it, I don't wanna say goodbye. I know, dude. It's not a real goodbye. It's only a video goodbye. It's just to see you later. Yeah, thank you guys. Had an awesome time. Appreciate you so much for everything you're doing. Don't forget, parts site still down for a little bit, but she's coming back. Nick's fixing it, dude. Soon, bigger, stronger. I got wrenches. I got tools. I got stuff to fix the site. Come back when it's done and buy some parts. It's tight. And if you're doing anything else, like watching these videos, subscribing, donating on Patreon, or buying the merchandise, buying through the Rocky Mountain link, just thank you guys so much. Had an awesome time out here. We're gonna go rip. We're gonna go fix these sleds. We'll do some more ripping later. And just a ton coming this year. Big, cool stuff. So, couldn't do it without you guys. Thank you. See you in a couple days. See you guys. Bye. Bye, Steve. Bye. Just hiding back here.
