I really like your videos, they are simple but entertaining. Not much added music, or garbage. I'm from Pennsylvania, and if we did something like this around here, we'd be thrown in jail, and the machines impounded. There is such a huge difference state to state!
Thanks for the compliments and feedback! it's pretty crazy how different every state is for sure! Wisconsin is pretty epic, there's huge trail systems throughout the whole state. I'm definitely going to get up northern Minnesota this season. Ive only ridden one trail up there and theres a ton of them apparently!
After watching this I was thinking of taking my side x side on the river. I live in Michigan too and I'm thinking of trying the cass river from Birch Run to Bay City. I think at this time though it's too risky we've had too much rain lately. Maybe try it next winter
Turning to convince my dad to get a 700. I usually pay half of the price of any toy we get as a 13 year old. We already have a 90cc banshee, but wants another one. He won’t budge on a 700 instead...
Elliott Baraby that’s awesome! Hopefully it works out! There’s a guy who lives a couple hours with me that has one, sometime this year we’re gonna get together for a ride. It would be cool to see two of them next to each other!
Pete how did you mount your parking brake without the factory clutch? Trying to figure out if I want to keep it when the ASV levers come in. Thanks man keep up the awesome videos.
Thanks for watching my videos! I still have the factory set up with the clutch/parking break. Most guys remove the parking break entirely and get a block off plate for the rear brake. The ASV levers should look really nice! I would like to remove my parking break for cosmetic reasons but I still use it when I have my quad in my truck.
Yeah for me in Ontario Canada 2.5 hours is the difference between no snow to 4 feet of snow some years. Love your videos, wild love to race ya on my old husaberg fe600. I played with the motor a little and I'm getting 70hp at the crank. I rounded up slighly😝😝😝😝😉😉😉
Thanks man! I'm going to go back this winter and definitely get better footage! I would love to fly the drone but I couldn't get any service when we were down in the river
Pete Hager: Ya that’s pretty cool. I haven’t done much river riding up here in Canada but I’ve done a lot of winter riding. I have a pile of videos I haven’t edited and put up yet. Do you use a mic for your GoPro? Your audio sounds much better than when I talk on my vids
The editing process can be tedious! Yes I have a microphone. It's called a purple panda. I found a motorcycle vlogger named Chaseontwowheels and he uses the same mic and it works really well. Heres a link to a video I made earlier this winter when I first set up everything. th-cam.com/video/GvMr1G5nO-U/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video, thank you for sharing your adventures with us! What kind of studs did you use? And how long are they? Do you have any problems with air leaking from tires after studs? Anything you would do different? Thank again and keep the videos comming!
Thanks man! I was fortunate enough to find these tires fully studded with the wheels on Craigslist. They’re Woodys snowmobile studs and I measured them and they’re an inch long including the lock nut. As far as I know the inside has a washer just like the base of the outside studs. They hold air for the afternoon but they slowly leak. I aired them up quite a bit before the ride and they lasted about 4 hours just fine. They work super well and I’ve been very abusive to them. They’re not as sharp anymore lol but they still work super good👍 I’ve used them in the woods and on gravel roads and haven’t ripped a stud out. I’m actually really impressed with how much they’ve handled. The only downside is the studs are super expensive. The original owner said he spent $700 on the studs. I would love to make a set next winter and make a video of the process
theirs no way I could run my gopro mount the way you have yours set up. have you ever damaged your setup? I don't run an external mic but my camera sits on the face of my helmet so far for me its a perfect setup.
I’m probably going to take a link out and raise it up a couple inches. I don’t mind where it is. It’s just annoying when I want to look behind me. It broke off when I crashed in my renegade video! Other then that it’s been good
I'm digging the red raptor buddy, Kudos for enduring the cold & snow! What A-Arm skids are you running on that beast? Painted, powdered coated or anodized??
Chad VanHorn sorry for the late response, my notifications have been missing some comments. It’s been interesting battling the elements this winter. The A-Arm skids are GYTR and I had a local guy powdercoat them with multiple coats of clear coat for durability. Same thing with the bumper.
@@alexadams7970 They're 1 inch Woody's carbide snowmobile studs. They work well but I honestly would prefer a set of kold kutters or something like that. These are kinda sketchy to get sideways lol
@@alexadams7970 I bought them already studded from someone. He said they had about 250-300 studs total in them. The tires are a lot of fun but I honestly haven't wanted to use them much. The idea of an accident getting tangled up in them kinda freaks me out lol
@@leedimatteo5078 It was a 2008 KTM 525XC, I have several old videos of me riding it on here! This is one of my favorites in the woods th-cam.com/video/YzSLm4-x9cU/w-d-xo.html
Another awesome video Pete! Got me wanting to do some river ridng with my side X side or even my quad. I have a question: how do you like your DJI Spark? I'm thinking of getting one soon and you are the reason why as I watched the one video you put it up and looked to see what kind of drone you had
Sorry for the late response! I really like my DJI Spark! I wanted to use it on this video but I couldn't get any service when we were in the river valley. The nice thing about the spark is how small it is, I can put it in my backpack along with an extra camera and my tripod. A lot of the more expensive drones are considerably bigger so size is something to take into account if your moving around a lot! Battery life is about 15 minutes and I would definitely recommend getting a controller for it. I couldn't imagine using the touch screen controls on a smart phone. The drone will definitely be incorporated quite often in my videos once it warms up! Thanks for checking out my videos! :)
@@PeteHager You couldn't get any service? How does it work then? I mean I know you can control it with the controller or even your phone but at what point and for what reason do you need service? Is service needed if you want it to auto track you? Auto track is one of the main reasons I was looking into it as I wanted one that had that feature that didn't get over $1000. If I get one I'll be getting the combo pack most likely which will come with controller and an extra battery
My phone said it was “searching” the whole ride. I’m not 100% sure on this but I think you need GPS signal so the drone has a home base for take off. This has only happened one time so far. Every other flight had worked just fine. I need to do more homework on it
A lot of the guys I ride with have reached out through email or are friends of friends. I get a lot of ride invites to go all over so I’ve got a pretty big list of contacts I can reach out to if I go to certain areas. I’m very fortunate to have people that want to show me around. Covid kinda put a stop to meet ups but I plan to announce some of our bigger trips later this year so we can do sub meets again! 👍
hey so I need to riding quads and my dad is going to buy me a 2019 Yamaha yfz 450r or the raptor 700. what do you think I should get. I'm not going to do any competitive racing just might see whose faster between my friends. also I'm 5'6 and weigh 115. I would ride on dirt, sand, trails. I'm just very stuck and confused. what should I get.
Hmm that is a tough choice, your not the biggest so you may fit on the YFZ a little better but the Raptor sounds like it would be better for your riding style and environment. The YFZ is much wider and doesn't have reverse. These factors aren't a huge deal now a days with side by sides making trails wider but they're still worth considering. The YFZ is a high revving racer and the Raptor is a torquey trail machine. I had to make the same decision and chose the Raptor because I don't track ride anymore and I want to take this thing on big rides without worrying about reliability.
@@PeteHager I've heard people say that doing little jumps and fast turns on the raptor is sketchy since its heavy. is that a factor you experience. also is the raptor more reliable than than 450
@@imDirecty The machine can handle small to medium sized jumps without issue in its stock form. If you upgraded the suspension you could take it off big jumps without a problem. It all depends on how you set the machine up. Ive never had the sensation that the machine is overly top heavy. It's not as low as a 450 but it doesn't feel tippy when sliding or riding off camber terrain. I don't want to say it's more reliable because both machines should last a long time with regular maintenance. If you guys are buying new from a dealer and they have both machines I would sit on both of them for sure and also see if you can ride them potentially. That could also help your decision. At this point the only reason I want a 450 is so I can take it on a motocross track from time to time. The majority of the time I would rather be on my Raptor
@@PeteHager this is my first quad and I think the raptor will be a better choice for me since I will be riding around on trails. and dunes with friends. I just want a quad that will keep with them. they have 400 Honda and Yamaha 400. I rode a 250 with them and it didnt keep up and got caught on the dunes. so I just need this machine to have the power and reliability to get me through some tough obstacles.
Thanks! I filmed this on 1080 superwide @ 60 fps. I have the white balance on auto, the ISO Min set at 100 and the max set at 1600. the sharpness is set to medium and i'm using GoPro color. I normally bump the saturation when i'm editing to enhance the colors

Very cool video, awesome to see all the sleds and SXS out. Definitely looked like a good time. Sketchy water for sure at the end.
