Snowmobiling and Snow biking are incredibly enjoyable sports. There’s nothing better than getting out with your friends while the trails or mountains are in perfect condition. What can make that ride go south quickly is not being dressed properly. Being too hot or too cold can ruin a great day of riding. Because of this, we’ve partnered with David McKinney from 509 to help take the guesswork out of deciding what gear you should wear this riding season no matter if you’re a mountain rider out West or just enjoying your local trails in the Midwest.

Much of the fun using our Off-Road Vehicles involves getting them dirty; but what is all that dirt and water doing to the internals of our machines? Polaris Off Road Senior Technical Trainer Randy Nelson joins the podcast to discuss the potentially damaging effects of our ORVs ingesting too much dirt or water. Listen along as we talk about common maintenance best practices to keep our units are running as good as new regardless of the riding conditions we put them through.
