I just uploaded a new video to youtube. It is called Sled-Play 3. It is just two friends and myself playing around last Sunday afternoon in a snow covered sand pit. Click on the picture of the my buddy Mike getting some air below and it will take you right to the video. Oh and watch at the end for Mike to end the day with a nice flip over the handlebars of his Mountain Cat. Broke a few parts he did but he is ok.

Being back up in northern Michigan has had it’s share of challenges. Finding a good paying job for one, but there have been many good things about returning to the Great White North. Being close to my parents has been a good thing. And, as most of my close friends know, I love to ride snowmobiles. When I lived in Ohio a group of friends and I would make out annual trip north to ride for a week in February. Now that I live here I can ride anytime I want as long as there is someone to ride with. Riding alone is fun but not as much fun as going out with a small group. Plus if you ride alone you better stick to the main trails. If something goes wrong, you may end up walking a good many miles for assistance. When we go out in groups we often end up stopping by a local drinking establishment to warm up but that is part of the fun. Don’t get drunk though. It can be just as bad being caught for a DUI on a snowmobile as it is for a car.

The other day Mykl, Roy and I decided to go out and play a bit in a sand pit. Too bad that others had found fun there before we did and the fresh powder was rather beaten down but we did find a few places to play. I took along my camcorder and took about 30 minutes of tape. I came home and put together a 5 minute video of the highlights. It can be viewed by clicking the picture or by going Youtube.com and do a search for Raakkos. That will yeild my videos submitted. Just click on Snow-Play2.

We plan to go out again to another pit tomorrow and I will get more video. Hopefully some better air shots.
