This is great. Actual information from a pro on how to ride an Alpha plus a reminder not to get hung up on brand. Just give it heaps with your mates on any rig that moves. I would love to see all these great riders from Cat, Pol and Doo get together and shoot the shit, ride each other’s sleds and get in trouble.
Finally a pro rider that says the sport is too expensive. He is absolutely right about what the sport has turned into. If you don't ride or wear a certain brand then your doing something wrong.
in my mid forties, been riding since my earlie twenties. Started out on a 99 ac 440, then a sumitt x 670, 06 ac m7 with twin pipes & big bore. Now I'm on a 09 m8 turbo. Sledding ain't cheap and if your not breaking stuff you ain't riding hard enough. Nice thing with all these new sleds is people offloading there used ones for cheap. My point being you don't need a brand new sledd if your new at sledding. Rip Rob!
The last bit of the clip when he talks about life, well said man. I don't play video games or face book or any with a computer... Who needs to show off? It's about having fun. Can't wait to get my snowmobile. Need someone to ride with...
I appreciate your level of honesty and kickassery. Not often you hear a sponsored athlete say it how it is. I like the fact you don’t require knee pads and hash tags to get your point across. Thanks.
Snow Skiing is an expensive Sport too .. that's why I went and got a Job at a ski resort for three winters when I was young.. It did not leave me $60,000 in debt like College..
Gotta have fun. Still wear the Carhearts (get better with age). Excellent interview. Thank You. Riding Polaris RMK, and Cat M-series. Like fiddle on the sleds, observe how each manufacturer engineering team designs the sled.
Finally a pro rider telling the truth no BS. I have been trying to tell people that these new sleds get so much flotation and grip that they have to slow down!
to expensive, and its just a huge commercial, havent heard a bad thing about any sled brand from any magazine, its kinda like the mid top gear series were the car company who paid the most got the best reviews. polaris is dominating the smile and wave industry right now, and it shows, never seen any sled, not even turbo ones break down, but in the real world and among friend/ colleagues/ family their new sleds break down all the time, its like you are buying something that isnt even finnished cause it is so rushed.
Maybe after the COVID-19 mess clears the snowmobile industry will have a chance to rethink it, focus back on the average person again. Like Ski-Doo originally created snowmobiles to be - just to have fun in the snow, recreational fun.
4k for a set of fox shocks? Dan Adams Chris Burhant and all the sponsored pros say this is the first upgrade? I'm sure they are nice, but 1/3 of the entire cost of a new sled? These guys don't pay for any of it. It's the person's skills not the equipment. Expensive shit is nice not necessary.

He spoke with truth in everything he did. What an absolute legend! #saynotothefasionshow Ride in Peace RMR.
Every time RMR speaks about the industry, you can feel his realness in the depths of your soul.

First time I have seen a pro sledder just talking about how he feels rather than an infomercial for nxtlvlbackcountryadventure609productionsales.

It's quickly becoming a millionaire's sport. Too expensive for most.

He left this world a legend my old man is a die hard cat guy like RMR 103 is

Never knew much about RK till the recent events. His persona reminds me of Kirk Hibbert and Blair Morgan mash up
No doubt! It’s a big expensive fashion show for sure! And the manufactures of these fashion show products are lovin’ it! It’s getting out of hand!
Rip brother!!!! So true at the end with his message on the industry!!!!!!!!
R.I.P rob a true legend a legend that will forever be remembered
Is he dead?
@@issesandberg9673 yah dude ,avalanche took him
Lost a good old boy and legend, what a shame. Rest in peace RMR.
Rip to a true legend
What a legend
Couldn’t have said it any better!
RIP Rob
Miss ya Rob... Honest Man, Keeping it real!!!
Could you imagine if Chris burandt said this 🤣🤣🤣 Polaris would shit itself
Can you do a video on the shocks for the Alpha please?
Dang, isn’t this the truth. New sled $15,000. For sale 2 years later for $7900. It’s sad
4 years later and top of the line turbo is 26k. Thanks for printing those trillions Joe.
I miss ya old RMR !!!!!
Finally a pro rider telling the truth no BS. I have been trying to tell people that these new sleds get so much flotation and grip that they have to slow down!
God bless you Rob! RIP bro
Dog bless Rob
Real talk @ 6:00+...sad to see this industry has lost touch with its roots

what does washing out mean?
Washing out, your track looses its path and the tunnel and track tend to slip out from conditions
Kinda self explanatory...
real talk

For some people, it hasent changed , that shit didn't slow sleddn,boating, work or life in general
so true!
I love my Alpha 165!
You can’t handle the truth!
