Thanks again everybody!

Sorry we aren't making any DVD's... It cost us almost $1000 in music licensing just to legally upload it to the web. It would have been more to make DVD's... We never set out to make money - just make something cool to share our story with others.

I get a kick out of everyone that says they know where these areas are haha. I went riding ~5 times a week for 4 months straight and never saw a single person back where we ride. Almost every track we came across was either ours, or our friends.

When things look steep on camera, they're EXTREMELY steep in person. For example: 29:30 was shot in March at roughly 2PM and the hill was casting a shadow on the valley floor. 14:40 was at the same time - that's a little better perspective.

numerous times people have said the same thing to me about riding areas. One lady told me I was trespassing on he sacred garden,,,,,,lol,,,,,I was at least 8 miles north of her area,,,some people,,,shesh

Your video is so much better than the same old videos you buy. The fact that you have to find the $ when you find a stump or a tree. The pro's in the other videos could care less,no money out of there pocket. Think outside the box. Cut and edit videos for big dummy's like me. I email you a file,you send me back a nice video . Not sure how to address the music $.

Most of the videos have no name garage band music. It's the same thing with my kids skate board videos they watch. I guess I never put 2 and2 together . A-start a band,B-find a good garage band.lol

I have ridden with some of the pros. they do have to pay for some of their carnage depending on how they have things set up for the shoot. Had a guide do X games and got no pay but two sleds. one for the games and one to keep. If he crashed the games sled then he had to us his "free" one to finish out the games. That was in 08. To get around the music you can always get an up and coming band who will let you use their music for free to help them get their name out there. We have "Motor City Josh" on a few videos.

C'mon Wayne... ., all cockiness aside, 40+ minutes of vid and you claiming lots of "familiar" locations = I call BS. The Most posts don't equate to most experience/knowledge/skills. How's that saying go? Oh yeah.. Just saying...

Olaf can take you to most of those spots. Wintertime, traveler, uptourist, and others who choose not to be here showed me the rest. Remember.... I don't really have a job to go to and plenty of time. I can show you every bit of the same if not better here in the tip of the mitt area. Just happens 90% of you are closest to the western UP and that's all many have come to know. Dave B. and Clan also know were the good stuff is. Remember I am not a Snowies fan either. just saying! :)

I didn't know there was a lot of good riding in the mitt. I've only ridden in the mitt once or twice though so I'm not the best judge. When I went it was crowded, lots of straight-aways, etc. But good to know.

LOL, I thought the same thing, but, this is not the first time he has said that. I believe he said the same thing about cooksends vid also.

It is very limited and the area gets smaller each year.

By the way, this is one of the best vids out this year, I have 4 of the new ones so far, and everything about this vid, including the skillz of the riders, is just as good as anyone else.

Tory, 15:03, serious sled control! BAD AZZ! :D

LOL, probably. ****, I watch my own helmet cam videos from last winter and sometimes have a hard time remembering where it was.

Face it,you don't know anything about the western UP! How many times do you have to be called out. Time to move on, watch the 40min video again,this is the future of or sport! Guys actually riding,not talking about it on the web,or trying to make a buck off it.

Most have no clue! You guys were riding some big stuff! Always fun to drop in from the top with someone a bit green and listen to the reaction! Good job guys!

News flash.. I ride with Olaf quite a bit and don't think he would make the same claims. Sorry Keith. Just trying to call it as I see. If I'm wrong, then so be it. "Not trying to be that guy. Just want to make the call", and compliment the kids who made this vid. "Nice job"

Agreed. I was extremely humbled when riding with your bud "the Breeze" last year, just watching him not give a chit in early season conditions on a couple goofy hill sides. Was a fun ride, and great to see some stuff that most would not find without some good research and knowledge of the topography.

Keith does have a few sweet spots up his sleeve. Just act bored and unattentive around him and he will take you there. Amazing who you will run into at these "non exsistent" places.

I will give you that Wayne. Even though I only rode the Snowies that one year, I'm not putting it back on my "Return to" list anytime soon.

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone!



Actually I drive a $1000 pickup and make ~$15k in the summer at engineering internships and spend every dime on sledding. I also did very well in the classroom and was able to get a lot of scholarships and grants.

My parents didn't help me at all.

The same can be said for rest of our group.

Very Respectable. Nice vid, and good luck in your future endeavors (sp?)
