I think that the snowmobilleing is underrated some of the stuff they do is crazy and they're doing it on 500 puns sleds. I don't think they are getting enough credit for what they do. That shit is dangerous if the sled lands on top of you you're fucked.

Dat shits easy. Snowmobiles have made it so easy to do shit like flips and stuff now. If Travis Pastrana snowmobiled he would be doing dubz for sure. Everyone now is throwin pussy shit

So damn underrated and so damn dangerous, like freestyle moto but way more dangerous in my opinion.

Also prayers go out to Caleb Moore and his family.

I think they should add snocross back, and televise more heats of it. That's what killed off the sport. For every 30 heats that we were forced to watch, we missed 1 or 2. And that killed it's popularity.

I think it's OVERrated. Just a kinda weak version of freestyle moto. I mean, you can land backwards, almost fall off, and it will drive itself... However, I do think snocross is really sick and actually fun to watch.

ive always how many of these snowmobile haters on ns have actually spent a good amount of time riding sleds...theyre fun as hell, i grew up riding them back east, havent gotten one since ive moved out west though. Almost nervous about getting one because i feel like i might end up spending entire days just sledding when i was planning on skiing. Theres a ton of people in the whole snowmobile, motocross, atv etc scene probably just as many if not more than skiing and snowboarding. A lot of these people care as much about seeing a nosebutter triple as you do snowcross.

I love sledding and would never sell my sled without buying another. It is dangerous and a very difficult sport to master. My thoughts are with the Moore family and I hope Caleb pulls through this.

that's fine. The difference is that a nosebutter triple took 30 seconds of screen time. Snocross was televised for hours. Every. Single. Heat.


I liked it, but there was just way too much of it. Other events lost screen time because we had to watch all 64 heats over the course of 2 days.

My dad's friend used to race snowmobiles and he landed on a dude during a race and killed him. He quit after that.
