My sled made that noise when the secondary rollers were broken. I wonder if maybe something was stuck and then freed up over the course of the day??

Appreciate you sharing the ups and downs throughout the day. For those of us that ride; we identify. For those that are new it provides a great perspective on the sport and what to expect.

I try to share it all. It’s all about the adventure, not just the highlight reel

Listen. This channel is like crack for the subscribers. Those of us who cannot ride every day of the winter are living vicariously through this channel. This is part of my winter daily routine. Once you start the season you cannot go a day without a video without a damn good excuse. Christmas, you say? Uh uh. Save a little snippet and make a little short video and schedule to post round 6am on the days you don't make a full release. That is all. Thank you.

100% the best way to describe it

Best Christmas gift is a new upload from Matt! Hope you have a great season dude. I look forward to Al the killer content that’s to come

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has to knock off the rust at the beginning of the season. Grateful to have the Freerider back!

I said this last year when you doo'd fresh deep. Today I'm skiing!!! Tomorrow I'll ride. Anytime in the snow is a magical day. Happy boxing day!

Glad you made it out! can't wait for this season's videos!!

Merry Xmas Matt, Thanks for your mellow disposition when riding and looking at at every thing like its only a first world problem.

I was there yesterday too and had the exact same day. The old tracks weren’t quite covered and mounds of super deep clouds of snow here and there. Impossible to predict what the sled was gunna do. Super hard to ride. I’ve never felt so useless and out of shape. Still good times tho. “Maybe I shouldn’t have dropped down here” hahaha. Classic. Saw a half dozen remotely triggered class 1 slides let go. Anything with a convex roll that was steep enough and near a creek. Heads up to everyone about that.

Even without the audio, still the best sledding videos to watch anytime! Love yr merch too, wear mine almost everyday.👌

Welcome back Boss......Nice little present seeing this video. Even getting paid to watch it (double time and a half-holiday pay) because the other boss man has me for the day. Merry Christmas to you and yours.....

Thanks for sharing the struggles! Excited the season is here and looking forward to your impressions of the Gen 5. Merry Christmas!

Been watching for about 3 years now never missed one yet! Love the videos muskoka keep ‘em rollin!

It's good to see you finally made it. Love watching your videos daily. Excited to see you ride the boost

My wife and inlaws are sick in bed this morning so myself and the little guy got up alone and voila, your videos are back. Perfect Christmas morning.

Having a coffee Christmas morning watching FreeRider videos, awesome. Funny how it happens bro, first ride, always a rusty buzz hahha . Have fun ripping, and yes the most snow i have seen around here for awhile, riding real rusty tooooo.....

Not a bad first ride. I can’t wait to see the rest of the year.

It's awesome to see u out riding again.... Been waiting for this... Stay safe and keep em coming....

Merry Christmas Matt!! Nice to see you back riding this season. Looking forward to all the great content.

New screen looks awesome, sled also seems more punchy… excited for the rest of the season and the daily vlogs… thanks Matt… curious about your first impressions of the gen5..

It's good to see the older style filming with the commentary. Just riding, no jumps, flips, just riding . LOVED It!!!

Some days we do this others we show the action, all depends on the day!

OK I'm not alone! First day we got 3 foot of baseless super fluff and I couldn't ride to save my life! Boy that thing stands right up in the deep stuff, keep up the great work bud.

Good to see the new setup out on the snow!!! You get it figured out!!

Awesome first video. I did get out for a ride today but of a very different type. Buffalo NY here. We’ve experienced a disastrous storm for 3 days straight , 60-70mph winds, subzero temperatures with 0 visibility and blizzard snow fall. We’re buried. many without power and heat since Friday. The city and surrounding areas are like war zones abandoned cars everywhere..I spent today going through my entire neighborhood, stopping and asking everyone I saw outside or in their cars trying to get warm if they needed help, water/supplies.. or medical attention. Thank you for the video.. it helped me disassociate from this reality for a moment..

So hype to see you back for another season

Refreshed my feed like 3 times and yours was still the first vid to pop up👌

Very smart day to upload first vid, high quality content

I still can’t believe how much snow those sleds can get through, pretty amazing

Merry Christmas. I have been eagerly anticipating your trip west and the start of another season.

Early season first rides, deep conditions and shit visibility all make for a good challenge. Good to see you boys back on the sleds 🤘🏾

These are the best snowmobile videos hands down good times with good dudes!

my favourite sledding youtuber, cannot wait to watch all your great videos, merry christmas and a happy new year🤙🏻🤙🏻

Totally relatable, important to remember you are on a completely different sled as well, a lot of changes.

Awesome first video of the new season

Most excellent Christmas present! Thank you so much. Seems combining a first of the season ride with a first impression of a new whip video sends kind of a convoluted message. I purchased an unclaimed g5 and have rode the flats of Mn. I love it so far. Watching you in the mountains has me apprehensive about a upcoming trip to Island Park and West Yellowstone. Stay safe enjoy and know your video efforts are greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Just my opinion ( and in no way am I trying to rag on you), but seeing Matts first ride (and acclimation to new sled) thru some pretty snotty stuff (and he does have a talent for finding the snot), and how it handled it, I would think that it would have given some confidence to you seeing first hand what the sled is capable of. Wishing you a Merry Christmas from Colorado. Side note, greetings from a former Minnesotan, Brooklyn Park to be exact.

Seen that clutch side panel broken by a few different youtubers already. I'd be packing stuff to field repair that but I don't think we'll have a G5 in our immediate group.

Hell yeah new sled video. Great job Matt happy holidays. Have a great one. Can't wait to watch all the videos

Boy I was waiting for that one, watching your Instagram stories and wondering which morning I was gonna wake up to a video. What a nice Christmas gift!

Merry Christmas,, glad your back,,, looking forward to Jerry!!!!!

Merry Xmas to all Best Xmas gift today is already here...Muskoka freerider and my morning coffee....just getting ready to go ice fishing...and now I want to go sledding...lol... Glad to have you back on the snow Matt....can't wait to see where you go this year... From my very snowy windy igloo on the mountain in alberta Canada 🇨🇦 D.

Awesome to watch your first day on Xmas morning! Heading to Revy tomorrow for my first time and staying at the Glacier House Lodge. FYI I love my Gen V Expert compared to my Gen IVs.

He's back!! Ready for another winter🔥

haha so that’s what it looked like up top. seemed like it was nuking when i drove though town before the pass closed. excited for what the next week brings. the trip starts tomorrow!!!

LET THE SEASON BEGIN! Nice to see you back on a sled. Yeah it's funny how that confidence is out the gate and than your 5 mins in and realize.... things are not as easy as I remember. Cant just pick up where you left off the last time you were on a sled. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas really appreciate the video you did an amazing job on the wrap and I hope your sled doesn't have any further noises/issues.

Merry Christmas and stoked the vids are going again!

Merry Christmas Matt! Excited for the new season!

NEW sled content could not make this day any better the new sled sounds mean😈🤌

Nice first season ride man. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Merry Christmas Matt. First thing I did was check for a video this morning

Merry Christmas! So glad you’re back!

Thanks for the Christmas video!!! It’s been a long summer!

And we’re back!!! Let’s go!! Muskoka morning for Christmas! 🎉

Awesome job. Glad ur back

Muskoka is back for another season! Let’s gooooo!

Merry Christmas! Welcome back! Appreciate that everyone is a bit rusty on the first ride!

merry christmas!! first freerider video with some action..hell yea!!

Merry Christmas buddy another great start to the season.

Our first ride was full of stops. So out of shape and the rust. I don’t feel so bad now. Thanks Matt.

Man my first day out this year I was blaming every new aftermarket part on my sled, and now getting out on it today for my second time. Even in worse snow I felt a-lot more at home. I did delete my t-motion and go zrp front end spindles, and C&A bx skis, which do make it feel a bit different from last year.

Check your secondary if the rollers broke, if they did see if the fett brothers racing rollers are the same for the turbos, there a fiber material instead of a plastic. The stock one break when you hear the clunk when you go from reverse to forward hard

The wierd clutch grinding sound could also just be your track tention.... Pretty quick and easy thing check while you're out there. Might keep happening for the first few rides, I would do that quick test before tearing apart the clutches! Same sound coming from my 2023 Polaris tightened the track and no more bad noises.

Merry Christmas from Greenland, Sisimiut! Love your videos🎄🤘🏻🤘🏻🏔️

I'll be at the cottage on Kawagama tomorrow. I can't wait for all the snow!!!

Finally waited a year for some quality vids, living my dream through you. The sounds it was making sounds like the clutch gripping/engaging a little too hard but I am not sure since its just video audio. I know when my friends rebuilt sleds it can be a bit jarring/janky with a lot of new parts breaking in.

Merry Christmas and Many greetings from Europe , Czech Republic ! We envy Your snow conditions ! We have planned to Open sled season in Romania mountains 4th Jan but snow conditions horrible: Grass everywhere! Seems that all the snow is falling only in North America 😅( sorry for joke i know that situation is critical in many areas) good luck and will watching you every day ! Quality and content Your videos is simply perfect! I love Your job ! 🤛👏👊😉

Rust, in Alaska it was always the third day when I would come around, same day my thumb muscles got in shape and stopped hurting also. Wish we had finger throttles back then.

Proven design products has some nice clutch vents ! Must have for these g5s

Yeeees! I’ve waited a while for this!!

Haven't even watched the show but whatever. Just happy we got a vid for xmas. Thx vm matt. Merry xmas

Those first rides are always a re-learning curve

Snow is insane here in Ontario, im in Sault Ste Marie and the snows up to the roof on my 93 yukon 4x4 with 33s , like 5ft over 2 days i can barely open my front door to my apartment!

Not bad for day 1! 365 designs sells a vent kit. Anyway Merry Christmas Freerider will see yah in the new year!

Best Christmas present

I was exhausted just watching, wow.

I have the same sled and my clutch did that for the first 3 rides! It drove me nuts but it seems to have stopped for the most part. It does clunk more then the gen4

Glad to see it’s finally starting to snow there. We went first week of December was a struggle to find untracked snow

Yeah been a slow start for sure

I feel ya on the first ride. Always feels like you're overriding the sled. I think too the snowpack is weird and just gives out or something when it's the beginning of the year. Plus getting used to a new sled. That clunk was sure weird. Let us know if you find anything goofy. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!

Double check your chain tension in the Chain case. Some of the g5s showing up the chain tension has been super loose causing a grinding noise on take off.

Why am I getting the impression that Doo rushed these sleds out the door? I'm seeing random problems with the G5's quite frequently now

I feel you matt, i feel so rusty and out of my place, i switched my 2013 for a 2022 and a 2023 soo different

Hype! As for mic setup, ever thought of running a standalone voice recorder as backup which you could splice onto the video in case of failure? I'm sure you have.. maybe they're all too bulky

Watching these videos while having my morning dump....life is back to normal. Glad your back for another season.

Actually did one last season. Hasn’t changed since then

No problem on the GoPro and what not.

So that snow you are in is from the same system that dumped 1/2" of freezing rain on my property bringing hundreds of branches down. Bu the storm we just had dumped 5 and 1/2" of rain in 36 hours. Given that it will be warm, and assuming 20-10% WBV (Water by Volume) snow that will be 27-55". I don't know how much will make it up there, but I would expect a solid whack from the incoming system.

Most relatable vid yet!
