Been out of snowmobiling for a decade bc I would like a new big money sled but it’s just not practical. This has reminded me that I can have a lot of fun w an older cheapo. Thanks boys!
Welp, truth be told this was a refreshing video and i saw a lot of smiling guys having fun. No talking down to you, no cheap shots or self absorbed commentary. If I'm going based on Doug's handling of the video this is a new beginning, hopefully this means we see Frankie again too, dude was a great addition. Best wishes from Indiana guys, we'll ride with ya either way.
I’m with some of these other fellas, if Leo is gone and there is no mention of it or what is going on I’m out. I’ve supported this channel since the OG days but been a couple poorly handled situations and the blatant Polaris “d” riding has me worried for the direction of this channel
Don't understand this mindset at all. It's a TH-cam video. I watch to laugh and see some badass shit, could care less what machines there in and who is filming. Talking shit online is never gonna get us back to our regularly scheduled program.
@@fgtgrfrgrfgbya but it make people feel important with a certain level of self richeousness feeling like they matter when they say theyre leaving a channel, like nobody cares, you want to leave leave, we dont need an explenation
There was a day not too long ago when Mike wouldn’t have got “water wheelie my sled” out of his mouth before Sous would have been on that thing wheeling across the water!!! Just sayin’…. 🤣👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
I think they should do a live stream, take the superchat money and split it for mods. If everyone gives 10-20 dollars it should make this very interesting.
(1) It been a very long time since a new video has been uploaded. (2) There is a new opening sequence. (3) There was no Leo or mention of him or his sled. Something is up...
Don't forget, Doug vanished from Cleetus and Cars (family issue, but suspicious), no more videos from the event, Leo raced in it though. No videos or more posts from that or Renner's compound.
Leo isn't in any SxS blog Instagram pics since Nov 18th. Doug said they are going to have a new format going forward. SxS blog isn't responding to any of the comments on this video. Something is up.
here is some tips and tricks for making a snowmobile drive better in water ! 1. there are 2 springs and 2 shocks in the track system, the front one you tighten as much as possible to make it as stiff as it can be ! 2. in the rear of the track you loosen the spring adjustment as much as possible ! or you can take the whole spring of and leave only the shock if track isnt rubbing to the tunnel 3. skis have to come out of water if you want to steer well in water and not to cause turbulence and sink, fast way to make skis stay in place is ratchet strap them to up position ! these settings also make the snowmobile wheelie really easily ! + couple of things, i have seen many take the front shock and spring completely of and replace it with a piece of iron tube, this makes the front of the track flex as little as possible, usually when you build sled to the water front control arms are shortened to get the skis as narrow as possible, also the whole suspension at the front should be eliminated. higher profile track gives much more agressive acceleration but really loses a lot of speed. lower profile track is a bit more harder to keep floating in low speeds but can go much faster
We did the same kind of thing , back in 1994 . It had to be 70s sleds , I remember a 71 sno jet and this guy had some big square artic cat with a leopard seat , I had a Yamaha enticer 79 with a 340 and a bald track .
No Leo? No video of riding at Ronnie’s? What Is Going On fellas? Been watching for years. Like so many others. We kinda deserve a little explanation. So many of us have bought merch and etc…
Yea I have to say I'm a little disappointed to say the least.. I mean it's not the first time we have seen this kind of action for whatever reasons may be. "RR baby" and no comments or information whatsoever.. just poof there they go. I would hope that's not the case here but I'm certainly not getting good vibes. Seeing is how we just completely skipped over Le Mullets and the Renner compound with ZERO explanation. You would think with as many times as they have told us that without us they wouldn't be were they are that they would treat us with a certain level of respect
The new polaris sleds have a built in break in period in the ecu. It uses a little more oil than normal and limits the power a little. No need to totally baby it. Just ride
My gosh this is a blast to watch. So many variables! Waiting on snow in Wisconsin too…. Looks like an El Niño year which means a “bad” winter 😢. Can’t wait to see the best mod video!!
Very interesting. Almost 2 weeks since last video, no Leo, no mention of Leo, definitely not edited by Leo, and they’re not at the compound. Not the same old Doug in this video either.
Man, I had a ton of fun snowmobiling over the past years, but how quickly was I reminded just how expensive it is, especially for as little snow as we get. And I live on The Tug Hill in NY.
Gotta love Mike Reed and the role he plays in SxSblog. Has probably the fastest car atm, in house powder coating for the boys, builds everything for shenanigans, commentary is useful and realistic but funny at the same time, and of course he FKN RIPS. Dude really rounds everything up. #Reed2024
Snowmobiles...fun all year. Doug's f7 sounds down a few Rs . Here's to hoping everyone gets their sleds in top shape for the official start of the points race!
That switchback 600. I would check to make sure that's the correct clutch. I could be wrong, but the spider looks like the old spider from sleds before. If it's the wrong taper, it's gonna wobble pretty good.
Hurd threw grape vine the county you guys are in are shutting your means of operation down. I’m guessing from the noise I hope it’s not true you guys have put a lot of time into that track and that compound!
Dude I am so stoked for this shit. I just rewatched last years series in preparation for this. I’m a Polaris guy, but I’m Team Sous. Let’s gooooo. 🤙🤙🤙🤙
@@T_SchnydzMy old man ran a cat dealer in the early 90’s to, so he brought one home. The childhood memories with that thing. Takes me back. 😂 My cousin had a thunder cat 1000 a few years ago to. The guy he got it off of turned it into a mountain sled and that sucker ripped. 😂
You need 200 studs to get those T-Cats to hook well. You can gear those down and they still do 100mph easy. Sous should add studs that have 1/2 inch of penetration over the lug height and drop 1 or 2 teeth on the top gear. Run stock gearing for speed runs and lower gearing for drags.
Look, that opening edit was so sick! Terrific editing and I’m only 0:32 into the video and I already know, this one is gonna be a banger! Edit: I watched the whole video and it was so good! I missed seeing and hearing Leo, but you can’t work ON the business when you’re working IN the business. 👍🤟 can’t wait to see you guys with some more snow!!!
Who you got winnin this sled challenge now!?
My money's on Doug an the F7! Let's go lads !
The viewers
i say nick has it this year but we will see
Matty Ice
Matt all the way but I have to see Leo’s
Man it’s crazy how much you can miss a person on a TH-cam channel but Sous’ antics & 1 liners had me crying lol. Glad he’s makin a showing
I agree Sous is the Ham in sxs soup
Him coming in the frame after the snow mobile jump killed me. He's such a funny guy.
Sous is by far the best personality on this show
I’ll tell you what I thoroughly enjoy the snowmobile content. Even if it is only once a year, it’s worth it!
Forget everybody that plans on abandoning the SxS boys, you guys still rock and I can't wait for snowmobile time. Real fans will be here til the end
As soon as I watched the intro I could tell a editing difference nice work guys 👍 Sous and snowmobiles always a good time!
Leo fired???
You guys are the best show on TH-cam, when it comes to offloading in my opinion. Truthful and not bias.
I love how nobody’s in a sour mood one bit no frowns all true smiles no tension right now just vibes and good times
Been out of snowmobiling for a decade bc I would like a new big money sled but it’s just not practical. This has reminded me that I can have a lot of fun w an older cheapo. Thanks boys!
Nothing brightens my day more than some Sous goofin. Enjoyed the editing style of this video as well!
Water skipping sleds is a rush and so are your guys sledding videos ! Love the this time of the year let it snow ❄️ 👍

What did I miss?
At the end of the day it’s not our business
100% agree with Doug. There needs to be a mod budget. 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
There was a day not too long ago when Mike wouldn’t have got “water wheelie my sled” out of his mouth before Sous would have been on that thing wheeling across the water!!! Just sayin’…. 🤣👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
I only watch SXSBlog for the snowmobile content. Love you guys though. I miss Frankie sending things!!
FRANKY! FRANKY! FRANKY! FRANKY!
Doug if what you're doing is anything like this it's perfect .
Another 500-1000 dollar mod budget would be sick to see the outcome of the sleds
They’re def gonna need a repair/fix budget lol
I think they should do a live stream, take the superchat money and split it for mods. If everyone gives 10-20 dollars it should make this very interesting.
Yes 1,000.00 would be best
(1) It been a very long time since a new video has been uploaded.
(2) There is a new opening sequence.
(3) There was no Leo or mention of him or his sled.
Something is up...

@@reichpanzer2418 Man I sure hope everything is okay with Leo. I sure hope nothing went sideways with the business side between friends
@@MNW-69 but they brought him on while Leo was still there
I was excited for the Renner compound stuff he is only like 45min from me
That looks like the kind of snow fall we’ve had to deal with all winter the last year or two in PA. I’m always praying to the snow gods 🙏 ❄️
So when is the rest of this challenge coming out?
Literally
I’m from Texas and never even seen a snowmobile irl but I love, love, LOVE this content!! Idk why!!!
here is some tips and tricks for making a snowmobile drive better in water !

One hour ago i was just stalking you guys to see what was up. So stoked on the new sled content!!
The intro was awesome. Can tell some effort went into it
OG Battlegrounds content hits different!
Whew! I’m glad you uploaded this. I was about to file a missing persons report on you guys. It had been too long! 😂
Nice Grassmobiles
Love the intro, was hoping you would bring them back, some of the old ones you did were fantastic.
I really enjoy this kind of content!
Glad to see you guys back. I've missed watching the weekly mayhem
So nice to have Souse back in a video
Wow, I missed your content !! Welcome back fellas
Absolutely loved the format! Very uplifting and enjoyable. Great work guys!!!
Great series!
Are you going to finish this competition for the 2024-2025 season?
Just made my night boys love the challenge and yes I could watch the same thing every year
Bro that intro was so dang fire props to the editor such a nice video can’t wait for more drag videos with 2jp
Finally got Leo off the throne.
It's felt like forever since ya posted! Good timing
How could y’all put more effort in a video because y’all put an insane amount of effort into all of your videos already? Y’all kill it !!!!
It's good to see u guys back at OG battlefield grounds. And seeing battlefield dads red OG Commander 4 seater! Keep up the good work!
The videos I’ve been waiting for I knew soon as you guys tried that water cross sled you guys was gonna do it 🤘
No Leo? No video of riding at Ronnie’s? What Is Going On fellas? Been watching for years. Like so many others. We kinda deserve a little explanation. So many of us have bought merch and etc…
If they don’t explain what’s going on, I’m out. This new style of videos is not what made this channel.
Yea I have to say I'm a little disappointed to say the least.. I mean it's not the first time we have seen this kind of action for whatever reasons may be.

He was fired, he’s a thief.
Stole hundreds of thousands of dollars apparently
The blog is back !
Mickeys is an awesome place! Love the videos guys, keep them coming!
So good to see the blog boys back at the battle grounds!
I really do hope everybody is OK. It’s been awfully quiet even on social media.
I've said it once I've said it twice the cheap sled challenge is my favorite!! So comical.
Turns out, a video without the old cameraman is better than I imagined.
Sous is a trip glad he’s back on this one !
Very well content in this weeks video. U guy's are killing it
The new polaris sleds have a built in break in period in the ecu. It uses a little more oil than normal and limits the power a little. No need to totally baby it. Just ride
Neither of mine did.
Great stuff. Love this content.
“She’s barkin! EAAAAAAAA!!!” Nick sous 🤣
Best intro!! SOLID audio. Agree??
I love the snowmobile content it looks like a lot of fun!
I love the sled challenge videos they are my favourite . Them f7s and them 800 are fast sled .
Where is Leo at ???
Yeah where was he?
Those Polaris Edge sleds do it so well. My favorite sleds.
Do you know if they are fairly reliable? Seem pretty impressive for the price!
I just bought a $1500 Mxzx 440. I’m playing along from home in the cheap sled challenge.
My gosh this is a blast to watch. So many variables! Waiting on snow in Wisconsin too…. Looks like an El Niño year which means a “bad” winter 😢. Can’t wait to see the best mod video!!
Very interesting. Almost 2 weeks since last video, no Leo, no mention of Leo, definitely not edited by Leo, and they’re not at the compound. Not the same old Doug in this video either.
Something is up for sure
It took me a while to find another comment about it..
Doug hasn’t been the same for a while. Many of us know why
He was fired, they found out he had been stealing for years..their last video will explain more.
I've been getting some withdrawals waiting for this video, lol. Great video. But where's Leo?
Man, I had a ton of fun snowmobiling over the past years, but how quickly was I reminded just how expensive it is, especially for as little snow as we get. And I live on The Tug Hill in NY.
So sad that you guys have more snow than us in central MN right now. Keep ripping guys cant wait to ride
Gotta love Mike Reed and the role he plays in SxSblog. Has probably the fastest car atm, in house powder coating for the boys, builds everything for shenanigans, commentary is useful and realistic but funny at the same time, and of course he FKN RIPS. Dude really rounds everything up. #Reed2024
I liked when you guys sold key chains and little nick nacks. I got shirts and hats butsting from the seams at this point
Thank you boys. Was just thinking about y’all.
Love to chill with boys after dinner 😂❤
So hyped for this! Hell yeah
The Thundercat needs the front and rear springs cranked up.
I used to work at the farm on the corner right there during hay season, used to enjoy seeing all the machines ripping from time to time
Man I was lost without the content boys! I was hoping you’d be back soon
That's a nice mid 70s ford you got in the background :D Great that you guys are Testing the Cheap Snowmachines!
Pretty sure that's the one they went to Barrett Jackson and bought. There's a video on it.
@@sideshow45Thanks man! I will look to see if I can find that!
Can't wait for the challenge. My favorite time of year. 😊
Got my gaiter hoodie the other day…thing is a unit! Perfect for keeping my pretty face warm.
Thanks Jeremy!
Go matt I'm rooting for you go get that Polaris.
Steve looks more and more like Quinton Tarantino everyday.
He acts and looks a lot like the guy that played Marty’s dad in back to the future.
Both are winning statements!
Definitely agree!
Lol...@chazlom has been saying that for years.
Love the sled content, boys 👊
About time a new vid came out iv had a stroke waiting lmao!!
Is that Doug and Steve's dad in the background mobbing around on the Grizzly XTR quad? Pimpin aint easy... 😎😎😎
That's battle dad on the Grizzly
This is strange, the video took 10 days no Leo and it wasn’t filmed at there shop.. mmmm
If leo is on vacation why not just let everyone know
Love The Intro..
FYI Mike, We rebuild shocks over in Cadillac. $40ea (plus parts if seals are needed)
So happy to see sous back regularly
Snowmobiles...fun all year.
Doug's f7 sounds down a few Rs . Here's to hoping everyone gets their sleds in top shape for the official start of the points race!
clutch weights should be ground down a bit.
Great to be back at the Battle Ranch again. Disappointed that there wasn’t a Battle Dad cameo? Nice to see Nick back and Joey is a great addition!
@23:37….WHO FARTED!!!…..Come on boys fess up! 😂😂
I thought I heard somebody’s blow off valve pop! 😂 😂
Sous
Been waiting for this!
That switchback 600. I would check to make sure that's the correct clutch. I could be wrong, but the spider looks like the old spider from sleds before. If it's the wrong taper, it's gonna wobble pretty good.
Ive been waiting for an upload !!
Hurd threw grape vine the county you guys are in are shutting your means of operation down. I’m guessing from the noise I hope it’s not true you guys have put a lot of time into that track and that compound!
Got to love seeing some good old ripping at the battlegrounds.
Liking the new intro!
Let’s go Matt! U and Mike tearing it up out there
Mike: lets skip it the long way
justin: watch this. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Dude I am so stoked for this shit. I just rewatched last years series in preparation for this.
I’m a Polaris guy, but I’m Team Sous. Let’s gooooo. 🤙🤙🤙🤙
The T-cat is so badass. favorite sled in the lineup
@@T_SchnydzMy old man ran a cat dealer in the early 90’s to, so he brought one home. The childhood memories with that thing. Takes me back. 😂

Quick check for bent crank would be to pull the clutch and put a dial indicator on the shaft and roll it over slowly
Keep up the good work guys love everything merch is so sick
Dang, i want me a older Thundercat. Really good looking sled.
Look, that opening edit was so sick! Terrific editing and I’m only 0:32 into the video and I already know, this one is gonna be a banger!

What happened to the 2.5 hours of la mullets content and Cleetus and cars content been waiting for it
Also been wondering that. Didn't they go to ronny renners track ?
