    Love your LXT,just love it!...I rode a Indylite 340 gt for years and it worked way better than it should have. I used Klotz and Amsoil and kept it in top shape. At the warming shack some would ask what I was riding ; after telling them, some would some would give an unimpressed " oh ya..." .Then I would just say o but she's tuned.

    Videos like this fit perfectly with Phish jams in my opinion. Adjust volume accordingly.
    Paragliding, motorcycles, skiing, snowmobiles, outdoor fun like that.
    (edit: most GoPro clips I think)

    Those trails look great. You should check out the Adirondacks in Old Forge NY. You would love the trails. I have videos posted of it. Great channel

    Looks awesome, I am from downstate but thinking about purchasing my first snowmobile. What do you think of an '05 Arctic Cat F7?

      Thanks! I wouldn't buy an arctic cat - I've seen too many of them burn to the ground.

    Is the part of the trail around the 5:00 mark one way? Askn cause it looks like it gets super narrow there

    • @MattMcHugh257
      @MattMcHugh257  Před 3 lety

      You're right, it is quite narrow there! But no, this is all two way trails. Very important to keep that right ski on the edge of the trail.

      You put up one finger when there is one person behind u and so on. When there’s no one behind u just put your fist up

      @MattMcHugh257  Před 3 lety +2

      Just like the other guy said, the amount of people behind you so they know what's coming, 1 is one person, 2 is two and so on. A fist is 0.

    I know this is labeled a slow sled but I dont see how theres a need to go much faster than this on the trails.

    • @MattMcHugh257
      @MattMcHugh257  Před 4 lety

      Yea on tighter trails this thing is plenty fast. It's super slow when you get to the long straights and open lakes.

    Trails won't be good this year. Comrade gretchen has made the state run out of $$$. She will most likely take the trail permit $$ and then barely groom

      @MattMcHugh257  Před 3 lety

      Yea she sounds like a pretty terrible person... we’re going skiing at Indian head later this month and bringing the sleds with for some light trail riding as well. Kinda sucks we won’t be able to bar hop...

    • @johnbob4545
      @johnbob4545 Před 3 lety

      Ya because according to you snowmobiling is now political. LMAO. I heard she hired Mark Torregrossa and by some liberal voodoo was able to make all the big snows blow over to the east coast. Bad year, bad year, except the trails were great. Try again comrade.
