I watched this video and decided to go riding. hopped on my quad and quickly realized that the ground is completely frozen. Couldn’t even make it up my driveway😂😂
I love going for little rips like this, getting a little adrenaline dump. The rest of the day is much better. The color matched bumper on the truck is 👌
Everyone I know is getting into sxs’s. I still prefer riding quads over sxs. I don’t drive 3 hours to the mountains to just get behind the wheel of another car 😂 . I still believe in the spirit of riding quads
Your videos are always so fun to watch. The hard work you put into them with all the camera views etc takes time but that hard work pays off with a very nice video and stellar editing. Another fine video Pete!
Due to watching your videos I ended up getting a rossier exhaust for my 02 400ex, went with the black silencer, red bullet tip/ flag logo... love the silencer and sounds great, so thanks for the 400ex content man! Keep up the great work!
It's very efficient but also super tedious. I took me like 12 minutes just to leave the parking lot with the shots I staged and then packing it up and heading to the next spot lol. I was out for about 2 hours to film everything 🥶
The YFZ is amazing on the track and in attack mode but the majority of the time I'm free riding at a more causal pace so the Raptor tends to be the more practical choice. Now that the suspension has been upgraded it's much more stable and I've gained more confidence on the quad
I’ve been looking at quads for a few years now and I still can’t decide if I should buy a raptor 700r or a brute force 750 but watching this I think I’m gonna go with the raptor 700R and awesome vid
Here’s a update, so I contacted my Yamaha dealer and it ended up they don’t sell sport quads😢, just 4X4 so I applied the the 2023 brute force 750 with eps and they will call me when they can and go from there. 😕
Unfortunately I didn't film an in depth install. The light is super bright and I planned on doing night rides at Little Sahara but my Raptor wasn't running the best so I haven't put it to the test. It's an expensive light bar but it seems you really get what you pay for and it's very bright while drawing a lower amperage. You can easily spend way less and get the job done I'm sure. It's a Rigid 10" light bar, model SR-Series Pro with the Spot/Drive beam pattern and the handlebar mount is a Lonestar 10" universal light bar bracket. I added both items to the bottom of my parts list in my description 👍
Most counties outside of the Twin Cities Metro and suburbs allow ditch riding since it's pretty much all agricultural land. The southern half of the state has ditches close April 1st through August 1st for wildlife habitat. Up in the northern counties I'm pretty sure their ditches are open annually and most are part of designated routes. The majority of all our public trails are north of the cities so most of us have no where to ride in the south aside from Snake Creek which is in SE Minnesota. I've very rarely been contacted by property owners and normally it's due to sound. As long as we're moving along it's really no different than a group of motorcycles going by on the highway.
Great content, as always! Can you share what mount you use to attach the GoPro to your helmet? Are you utilizing the media mod for your audio while riding or do you have the external purple panda microphone affixed to the inside of your helmet?
Thanks for watching! The first 5 minutes of this video shares my motovlog set up I've been running several seasons now. In that video I was using a hero7 but now I use the 11 with the media mod and purple panda mic along with the little adapter it comes with 👍 th-cam.com/video/kWbckb-7TQM/w-d-xo.html
Where do you ride at? I saw a video a while back that had you in one of the trail parks in Minnesota. I'm looking to move there in a few months and I'm looking for a few people to travel around and ride with!
I've made several videos at different trail systems in Minnesota. I've ridden Appleton OHV park the most. I've also ridden at Spider Lake, Paul Bunyon State Forest, General CC Andrews State Forest, Gilbert OHV, Nemadji State Forest, Chatfield, and Snake Creek. There's tons of riding places I still haven't seen. Our favorite for Sport ATV's has always been Spider Lake 👍
Thanks man! I've made every video on my channel except for a few music edit's Joe Goettl created and the Obor tire test video was edited by another editor 😊
As of now we're talking about traveling out to Oregon with our big ride group in the spring of 2025. I would definitely aim to do some ride out's/meet and greets 👍
@@PeteHager that's so sad 😭 I remember the video where you were shredding on the frozen river at that bridge where your pick up was parked.. hopefully it's getting better soon... Greez from no snow Germany lol
how many hours are on your raptor now? you have made me want to get one and I need to get a good idea with what to look for to buy used! hope someone could help
Both quads are super fun. The YFZR is very focused and always ready for 100% whereas the Raptor is more casual yet has that toque based power plant at the flick of a switch. The YFZR outshines it on the track and in the air but since I primarily free ride the Raptor has proven to be a better fit for me the majority of the time. The investment in suspension has solidified it as the ultimate do it all machine in my opinion 👍
I generally run 5 in the rear and 6 in the front. year round. If it's rocky I may move up to 8-10 psi. If it's for sure smooth and soft then I'll run 4-5 as my lowest normally
hey pete how u kept ur full system pipe looking that fresh? i have mine for almost 3 months and its getting rusted and stains all on it what should i do ? ? ?
May I ask how you have the microphone and GoPro setup I understand the GoPro part but the mic part how does that all work Pete? Love the content dude you are the best man💯
Thanks for watching! The first 5 minutes of this video shares the set up I've been using for several seasons. I did recently upgrade to a Hero11 with the Media mod which eliminated the 3.5 mic adapter you have to run with the older gopros. th-cam.com/video/kWbckb-7TQM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CREpcCCrudhbEzkO
@@PeteHager of course Pete I’m in northern Minnesota if you ever get up north lmk would be cool to meet ya and rip the raptors ! You are an awesome dude! I’ll watch that right now thank you Pete!!
@@PeteHager awesome thank you so so much Pete!! Keep the grind going man you are a great dude always love hearing how much fun you have on the raptor! Again if you come up north let me know I’d be down to ride!
Thanks man! I think I'll only miss my 450 when I'm somewhere that has a track or if everyone else is on 450's lol. I'm pretty glad I parted ways with it because the Raptor truly transforms with better suspension and I have a lot of fun riding it. Unfortunately the YFZ spent a lot of time sitting and I'd rather have a 2 stroke as a secondary machine so there's more diversity within my content
Unfortunately it had been sitting a lot the last few seasons and I was mainly riding it to run fresh gas through it. They're super fun quads but ever since I upgraded the suspension on my Raptor it's became the ultimate "do it all" machine for me. I really only preferred the YFZ when I was at tracks or looking to hit bigger jumps. I also realized it's too similar to my Raptor being a 4 stroke so I'd like to get a 2 stroke as my 2nd quad so I have more diversity in my experiences. Plus I'm a noob with 2 strokes so it would be fun to learn with you guys. I'm also hoping to have another Polaris on loan this summer and I didn't want the YFZ to sit another season and only be ridden 2 or 3 times. In case you didn't know, the Brewer's (Brewer Offroad) bought my 450 so I'll still see the quad from time to time!🤘😅
@mikesabo tighten up bro Pete doin a 100 on the highway Time to get some land and a damn log cabin idc build a nice ass garage Lift time You smellin what I’m steppin in
just got done ripping full pinned in snow and ice on my 200, im about to go again soon lol

Bought my Rossier pipe over a year ago and I still love how crispy it sounds, I get compliments quite often too. Love it.
I love going for little rips like this, getting a little adrenaline dump. The rest of the day is much better. The color matched bumper on the truck is 👌
I love all the wide open riding down here, but MAN do I miss those river rides and ripping across lakes. 🤙🏻
Everyone I know is getting into sxs’s. I still prefer riding quads over sxs. I don’t drive 3 hours to the mountains to just get behind the wheel of another car 😂 . I still believe in the spirit of riding quads
I owned a rzr for about 4 years rode maybe 10 times. Sold it and Bought another Quad ✅

Exhaust is Awsome man. Keep up the great work! Have a fantastic day!
Hell yeah bro. Took my 91 lt250r out in the snow last week it was a blast
I went snow riding on my 2005 crf230f and it was an absolute blast! I literally drifted it on my driveway!
Absolutely ripping at 1:52. Great video per usual Pete
i love watching your videos they always make my day brighter and makes me feel better
Due to watching your videos I ended up getting a rossier exhaust for my 02 400ex, went with the black silencer, red bullet tip/ flag logo... love the silencer and sounds great, so thanks for the 400ex content man! Keep up the great work!
Pete out here makin art in the snow
I done seen it all
You a pro…..ain’t no way around it
Hey Pete. Ordered the DRW case saver V2 for my 22 700 RSE from your site. Have the full big 3 kit ready for installation. Next is the long travel kit.
Camera angles insane
Still waiting for the day that I can ride in conditions like this, looked like a beautiful day. Awesome video Pete🤟
Awesome editing, that was fun to watch!
Another great video, cant wait to see studded tires.💯🔥👍🏼👍🏼
We got hit whit a little winter blast and i couldn't resist talking mine out for a ride till it broke best 2 hours I've had in a while
Damn you are more dedicated than I am. I could feel that cold just watching this video.
Need a good snow ride atleast once a year. But we hardly get snow here is southern Virginia
This is badass! Pete you gotta get some snowmobile bibs and jacket for these winter rides brother!😂
raptor sounds dialed, killer rippin man!!!
I never get sick of riding it. The torque is so priceless just like that Scrambler 🤘
sick video! love those lights!
makes me want another raptor to build!
Nice video ❤
Makes me want to go get on mine!
Watching this from 70 degree weather in Florida 😎
I rode there a few times in the fall. My first ride when it was legal again was hard to find the tracks again
best quad chanel ever I fucking love that raptor wooooo
I love a Pete Hager video!!!!😎💪🇺🇸🙏
I keep thinking about selling my Raptor…. Then Pete drops a video and all I want to do is ride
Love it man thanks for the content!
Truck still looks awesome
Man I got the itch to ride to but hate the cold 🥶
PETE LETTIN IT EAT!!!
Great video bro!!!!
Finally!!!🥳🥳 HE UPLOADED🤓🤓🤓
Look like fun! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
solo rippin while filming must be cool!!
It's very efficient but also super tedious. I took me like 12 minutes just to leave the parking lot with the shots I staged and then packing it up and heading to the next spot lol. I was out for about 2 hours to film everything 🥶
It seems to me that you like your raptor better than the yfz
The YFZ is amazing on the track and in attack mode but the majority of the time I'm free riding at a more causal pace so the Raptor tends to be the more practical choice. Now that the suspension has been upgraded it's much more stable and I've gained more confidence on the quad
@@PeteHagerit would b nice to see you build a drag bike or a hill climber

What are the laws for this kind of riding in mn? Do you ever have is with landowners/cops? I feel like it’s more chill there then in Wisconsin
I'd love to ride up there,you'll come across all the darens and Karen's here in South Georgia/Florida line
Yeah even in Wisconsin I’m running into Karen’s/getting cops called often. It’s annoying...😂
And it’s illegal to ride the ditches. You have to stay on the pavement on the Atv Routes.
Most counties outside of the Twin Cities Metro and suburbs allow ditch riding since it's pretty much all agricultural land. The southern half of the state has ditches close April 1st through August 1st for wildlife habitat. Up in the northern counties I'm pretty sure their ditches are open annually and most are part of designated routes.

I've very rarely been contacted by property owners and normally it's due to sound. As long as we're moving along it's really no different than a group of motorcycles going by on the highway.
Dang,that's what cops say to me when I get busted is "ride in the ditches".not in road..😆

Debating between another yfz or getting a raptor. I just know id have to sink way more money into the raptor to get it how I'd like it.
Both quads are super fun. The YFZR is very focused and always ready for 100% whereas the Raptor is more casual yet has that toque based power plant at the flick of a switch.
