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.
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 $.
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 should me the rest. Remember.... I don't really have a job to go to and plenty of time!+ posts. I can show you every bit 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!![]()

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

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!![]()

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!
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.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"

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.
