I have progressed so much watching your tutorials, as well as those from Dan Adams, Bret Rasmussen and others. I’d love to take some courses but they are just too far away for now. So I watch videos and practice what I’ve seen on the many weekends I get to spend in the BC mountains. Eyes up is the same rule as “Don’t look at the tree or you’ll hit it.” It took at bit while beginning to get over the panic right in front of the sled to see the solutions farther ahead. A great example from last year was going up a winding creek with decent powder that was above my ability. I went over a small drift to find an opening about two feet wide and about eight feet deep down to the open water. I just focussed on where I wanted to end up and held the throttle to the bar. Worked perfect. Had I been looking down I know I would have hit the brake instead and watched the skis as they led me straight down. That turned out to be my favourite day of sledding, a mixture of fear from pushing my limits so much and a total thrill at accomplishing what I did.
I've been riding, basically since 3 years old in 1978, and having to ride those phazers, and early mountain Max's, made momentum, and smooth on the throttle help, and I'm able to pick up new techniques a little quicker. Saying that I'll still get stuck for a while from progressing, but it's usually seat time related. Just not being able to get out as much as I want.
The consequences for riding step technical tree riding can be expensive and/or painful. IMO, that is what keeps most average riders from taking the next step (yes, fear is also a deterrent). Sleds are expensive and so is fixing them. Jacked up body parts and missing work is also expensive, ha.
I mean this as politely as possible, but the other guys will start a story or be sharing advice and Chris will talk over them. Let the other guys talk just a little more. Chris has a lot of wisdom and is to excited to share it haha!
its always weird hearing from someone like chris saying quebec is too tight on tree riding. i only rode there, you got the thrill of destroying your sled if you miss your line every time 🤣
Muskoka Freerider and
Caleb Kesterke put out Revelstoke tree videos every week , Caleb is a freak of nature on a sled

Thanks, Chris. That might be your best podcast yet😊
Thanks!!!
Another thing to mention is when the guys go on a trip don't stay up all night drinking then expect to be in riding condition at 9am.
I just watched Slednecks 13,18 and 19. The best!
My favorite Burandt videos are of him riding the old dragon rmk. Looks so gnarly. Love the podcasts and hope to make it back to BBA someday!
YESS
I actually am abit obsessed with these super hard to find footage/videos of burandt o the dragon/IQ chassis
I love the definitions and examples!

Jacked up body parts and missing work is also expensive, ha.
