A few guys get together to use the vintage machines as they were meant to be. Not shown in the video: hours of drivecog replacement, gastank cleaning and tillotson carb rebuilding.
I have a bravo as well! It was passed down through the family since new and I've had it since I was 8 or 9. It has been put away since I've got a bunch of indy wedges now but those bravos will put miles down on trails and and run literally forever
I rode a 1968 ski doo Olympic 320 single cylinder 15” wide track. Rode on weekends then repaired during the week. Boogey wheel springs on track constantly broke. Groomed trails were just being thought about back then. Made your own trails thru the woods. Today’s wide front skis would have caught and broke with all the brush we drove thru. Probably more fun than the high speed trails nowadays.
Awesome! I have a bunch of vintage sleds I do the same sort of driving with but don’t have anyone to tag along! Most ppl just collect them and never drive them around me. Haha was doing some drifting and doughnuts with my 250 big red yesterday in the snow!
drive cog replacement, gas tank cleaning, tillotson carb rebuilding... have you been watching me work on my ski daddler when I wasn't looking? ha! looks like great fun, I hope we actually get snow here in ND this winter so I can make more vintage sled romp videos.
Dad bought me a brand new 73 ss250 in 74 (leftover). I was 12. Wasn’t long before I put a 24 hp 399 engine and a pair of long travel slides on it with a gear change. I was probably 100 pounds at the time. If I couldn’t go there no one could. Lol. Sure miss those days. Great videos, keep em coming. Thanks
awesome! i abused the shit out of My 300 olympique! you know you've hit paydirt when you jump over a sideroad and when you land bogie wheels are rolling along beside you ☺
horsepower.i think that's how they rated them back then.they later went to cc.if my memory serves me right.i forgot all about boa ski.long time ago so I may be wrong.there were some off brand sleds back in the 60s.
1967 bomb and 1972 moto ski 292 had a blast when I was young I think you guys are to something here
Retro sledding is where it's at! I can remember climbing hills on my Dad's old 335 Olympic with the throttle pinned..lol.
Oh nothin better then old machines my elan
Why I does this look like so much more fun than driving newer sleds doing the fact same thing?😂
Cause riding a slow thing fast is more fun than riding a fast thing slow. Give'r hell boys!!!
It is more fun
You guys are absolute legends. This video just proves that you don't need 800cc to have fun. I have two Yamaha bravos and they are a blast.

That's some real riding right there.
Stompin Tom playing in the beginning? Awesome vintage beasts. Unlike new sleds you actually have to know how to drive lean them corners. Great video
Actually looks more fun then the new killer fast sleds.

Snow is deep...

was the skidoo an 18 or 12 up.dont remember if they had a 24.was the smaller skidoo an elan? a john deere. was the red one a chaparrel or an alouette
John Deere and Elan yes, the red one is a Boa-ski. What do you mean by 18 or 12, horsepower?

@@plantcitychuck2551 Oh for sure, lots of strange sleds made all over the place. I see what you mean by HP numbers, that makes sense
Hi im looking to buy a 1969 olympique with a 335 engine, is it a good machine ?
U guys could make some serious cash making more videos
I could. Lift my little elan out of the. Brook but he wouldn't do that he,d go right up hahathats one looks like my elan at the end
Nice ping pong ball helmets.
What the hell is in the old olympic
The 1970 has a well tuned 399
No such thing as a half send in your vids
