Polaris Promotional Video - 1980 Style

These seem pretty cheesy now compared to the modern promotional stuff but I guess that back in the day they still made people want to go out and buy a sled.

I love the trail sign segment. Yes, I guess it was considered a trail.

Very cool Kelly! I loved those racing suits, I had one. I thought the goggle fad was recent, I guess not. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed that!

Thanks for sharing this Kelly, it looks like a lot of fun. I bought a new Centurion that year and it was one of my favorite sleds of all time. It looks like I would have a little trouble getting my 14' wide BR 400 down the trails to groom them.

Those suits were awesome and the goggles surprised me as well. I just don't remember anyone I rode with ever wearing goggles. It was strictly metalflake helmets and flip-up shields. I would be curious to know where this was filmed.

I think dragging a tire would have qualified as grooming equipment back then. If I had any sense of vision I would have been buying up Centurions like crazy 20 years ago. They are like gold now and with good reason. They were a really special sled. One of the guys on the Copper Harbor run had one this year. What a sweet sounding sled.
