I grew up in Boston but spent several summers in Nova Scotia with family I have there. Beautiful scenery and the nicest people.
Thanks for the comment. There are definitely nice people there. I went to Boston in the summer of '93 and saw Boston and Toronto play at Fenway. It was a great time.
Hello, I watched video about maps that said Blue trails are railbeds, red trails are paved...but it didnt say what the yellow, orange, green, purple, brown are? Would anybody know? Thanks!
The other colors are only to make it easier to see the different segments.
What spare tire mount are you using on the commander?
The company that made it went out of business, unfortunately. There are other similar products out there though if you do a Google Search for spare wheel carrier you'll likely find one.
@@EastCoastATV thanks, I just liked the design of that one. I'm in the process of building my own
I almost traded my 2019 XT 1000R with 1,500 miles in for a new XMR a few days ago. Mine is paid for and they didn’t want to give me much as a trade in. I like mine better. It has a lot more storage and will go anywhere the new ones will and I will keep that $330/month in my bank. Great machine.
Sounds like you made the right choice. They definitely are great machines!
Your narrating and video skills set you apart from the amateurs doing riding videos. It was worth waiting for that great lunch provided by the chef!
Thank you I appreciate that. Lunch definitely was worth the wait!
World class video man. Sheesh. Thank you for all the work to make this.
Thank you!
I had a Commander , sold it for a pioneer due to reliability issues.
Hopefully not a Pioneer 700.
Hi again... Was thinking to hike from St-John's to Port aux Basques. If it does not rain too much go around the Port aux Port peninsula (could return next year though provided they fix the Eastern Trail)... P.S. Is it possible to rent one of those ATV's in Port aux Basques to drive back to St-John's... where i would hitch a plane to B.C. ? Thank you...
Hey Dave, noticed you use a communication system, wondering what it is and does it work well for you? My brother and I are looking at getting something and researching? Any help much appreciated. Sheldon Patey
We use Sena Bluetooth headsets. I use the SMH-10 model, and some of the other guys use the 30k or 50s. The higher the number the higher the price, sound quality, range etc. If I were buying a new set now I'd probably get the 30. The range is decent and they will disconnect when you get too far away from each other and reconnect automatically when you get closer. They should last all day depending on how much you talk. I usually get at least 10 hours. You can charge them when driving if you need to. Hope that helps, Patrick.
@@EastCoastATV thanks Dave much appreciated. Keep on ATVing
Great/ like follow you guys on different trips/ do have a Facebook site?
Hey Ralph. I have a Facebook page for our Newfoundland trips. It's Facebook.com/Crossingnewfoundlandbyatv I don't have a page for our NS trips though. Thanks for watching. I have several other videos of Cape Breton trips newer than this one that you may like too. Just scroll through my KZread videos page. kzread.info
I loved the 2023 videos and binged all three twice. I'm going back in 2025 because of them and doing a west coast trip. NL owes you big time for promoting them.
That’s a great web site you have there. Very informative and easy to use. I am planning a trip for late September early October . Base out of stephenville head to deer lake for a few days then back to stephenville and onto port au basque. I only get back home once or twice a year but enjoy every minute on the trails .
Thank you. Have a good trip. Those are all nice areas you're going to.
By far the best atv content out there ( my opinion) and the most informational and useful guide you can use, thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos and your website just to make it easier for everyone else
Wow, thanks!
Are you going this year?? And when?? Iam heading there for my honeymoon
Going mid August. Hopefully the Argentia ferry is fixed by then.
Great looking bag, excellent fit👍👍
What are the characteristics of front diff going out
@Joseph-s3k it will probably start with the front diff leaking. If you notice the leaking early and change the seals in time, you will probably save the diff. When it's totally shot, it won't work in 4x4 mode. If you are stopped and stuck in mud and try to get out in 4x4 mode and hear grinding, then stop trying to get out. Get pulled out or use a winch. If you keep grinding the diff, you can damage it.
I just bought one this week. Traded in the RZR just for a change with heat and AC and fully sealed cab. I'll send you some honest feedback in a couple weeks!!! Great video.
Congratulations on your purchase. I hope it's a great machine for you. I look forward to hearing back from you with feedback on the Ridge. Save travels!
i have a 2013 500ho 9600 miles and counting just changed rear shocks!! All wheel brgs throughout the years have been replaced!! never had a problem im on 4th battery and 3rd set of tires!! Love it will definately buy another polaris!! Im sold amazing durabilitly changed belt at 7500miles as preventive maintenance and a belt wasnt even required!!! i thought for sure it would be time for a new belt!! Cant recommend polaris sportsmans enough!!
Dude that's awesome that you've had such good luck with that machine. I think those old 500 HO ATVs were pretty much bulletproof. I still miss mine to this day and wish I never sold it. Not all Polaris ATVs are equal. The old 800 model based on the platform of the 500 was known for having a ton of problems. I had a 2015 850 and I sold it in a year because I had so many issues with it. Keep your 500 running as long as you can.
@@EastCoastATV i will drive it till the wheels fall off lol!!
I'm from Deer Lake. Goose arm, Lomond and the main dam area were my stomping grounds. Nice to see them again featured in your video. My father had a bus camper in Bottomless Pond, its since been flooded over... Cheers!! Loving the series!
Thank you, I'm glad I could showcase some of the areas you grew up around. Thanks for watching and leaving a message.
Good looking rugged bag. Are Starknight and Kemimoto the same company?
That's a good question. I'm unsure. The bag seems to be decent. I look forward to trying it out.
@@EastCoastATV Just curious, website looks identical. I have bought kemimoto bags, great quality.
Nice looking bag if it holds up later on in your review, I might get one for myself
Awesome video. One thing I’ve learned is have a way to patch your tires when traveling on the old railway bed. Some places have rail spikes laying around. If you make a trip to central, the snowmobile and atv club are trimming trees and grading the old railway bed. From glennwood to Gander is a good ride.
I've hit several spikes over the years. I always keep plugs and an air compressor handy! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for putting together this amazing series. I always tell my riding buddies that the camraderie is equally as enoyable as the actual driving. Kudos to you and to the boys. how much did the dealership end up charging you for the fuel pump replacement and did they do any other work on the machine?
Thanks, Jil, for the nice comments. You are right about the camaraderie. It truly makes a big difference. I think the total was about 900 for the part and labor, if memory serves correct. The can-am fuel pump was the majority of the cost. No other work was required.
@@EastCoastATV $900 is very steep to be honest but you had no option so it's understandable . FYI, the Quantum brand fuel pump is much cheaper and it comes with a lifetime warranty and everyone on the forums swears by it.
Yeah, it's definitely steep. Thanks for the tip. Hopefully that can help others if they come across your post. Hopefully the new one lasts the life of the vehicle.
@@EastCoastATV I know I ask you this almost every year 😅 but what are your current plans with the machine? Keep it since it's still running well and since interest rates are crazy high now?
Yup, totally keeping it. The prices of new machines are out of control not to mention high interest rates. Other than NL, I don't really use it all that much so I'm gonna just keep it as long as it's running well.
Another amazing series. Thoroughly enjoy your videos with a great bunch of guys. Cheers from the Yukon!
Thank you!
I wanna go....
Get a few people and review my website! Have fun. Www.crossingnewfoundlandbyatv.com

Mount - OHLPRO Car Tablet Mount... www.amazon.ca/dp/B074JZGQNY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Case - KIQ Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6"... www.amazon.ca/dp/B01ETZ8WY2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Love these videos. Looking forward to seeing the 2024 !! Cheers
Great video. Do you have a file for this route on your Facebook page by any chance for this run?
Here it is goo.gl/maps/Chd9XbGYbnK5dZYM7?g_st=ac
@@EastCoastATV thanks
I got a 2012 xt I’ve had for over 7 years and I’ve have about every problem you’ve had but same opinion things just great the gearbox grind in high had my dying laughing I feel that 😂
Seems like they all go through similar issues. I'm glad to hear you still like yours, too. My fuel pump crapped out last summer. Keep an eye on your engine. If it starts to feel like its losing power or not getting fuel sometimes I'd bet yours is on it's way out too. Thanks for watching and leaving a message.
Amazing video series as always. Thank you for the great content and all the information needed.
Thank you!
Are there any soft areas around Little Codroy pond that you could setup a tent, or is the whole beach rocky?
Not really unfortunately.
Finished watching this Series and I can agree, if you have to watch views of Newfoundland better to do it on a Big TV. Random question if it's alright: Is there trails for ATVs/SidebySides to go around Gros Morne to get up to St. Anthony?
There are trails that will go as far as Hawke's Bay. I'm unsure about St. Anthony. The trails to Hawke's Bay are on my website if you want to check them out. www.crossingnewfoundlandbyatv.com
@@EastCoastATV Thank you! I'll have a look. Admittedly part of the reason I ask is L'anse Aux Meadows is a nice site to visit as well.
your videos never disappoint!!! Thanks again!
Thanks Ted! Are you planning on any more NL trips?
So are these trails legal to take jeeps or Toyotas down? I’d love to do this in my 4Runner, albeit slower
No, sorry. Vehicles registered for the road like Jeeps are not allowed on the T'railway. You could drive to a few spots legally with a Jeep, like the sinkhole, TableTop and some of the roads around around Old Man's Pond, and Goose Arm.
How long is the boat ride?
And greetings from gaspe
6 hrs to Port Aux Basques on the West Coast and 16 hours to Argentia on the east coast.
@@EastCoastATV are you coming back to gaspe?
I will definitely but not this year.
Was this trip late July? I feel like I may have passed you guys on the trail on my street and trail bike while doing the cross province trip. I recall seeing a similar 6x6 in a group!
Yes, it was.
@@EastCoastATV Darn. We followed your trip guide haha. Would have been nice to say hi on the trail. Great trip!
@@kevinturner811 Thanks. Maybe next trip.
Great Videos! You inspired us in 2018 and my wife loved it so much, we're going again this year!
I'm glad you enjoyed it so much that you're returning again! Thanks for posting.
LOL @ even the Quebec one :)
Yeah I got a kick out of that one too.
Hi Patrick…The name of St. Andrews Beach is Murray’s Beach. Great Videos. Look forward to watching every year. Cheers!!
Thanks! I'll add it to my map. Much appreciated.
@@EastCoastATV Hey Patrick…I thought you were on a slightly different beach…Murrays Beach is a popular swimming and picnic area is St. Andrews. I will get you the right name. Sorry for the confusion.
The beach is McDougall’s Beach. A very popular area with lots of cottages.
I looked on goggle earth. Definitely McDougall’s beach.
@@darrenaucoin5631 Perfect, thanks!
Good video and info for the future of my machines possible problems, THANK YOU!!!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
i love these videos as i was born in port aux basque and raised in codroy valley but sadly have not even visited any family since 94 so keep up the great videos
Awesome video! I live on the West Coast in Corner Brook, great to see this. Where did your friend Dwayne find that tent!?
Thanks! That's a good question. I believe the dealer in NS sourced it for him.
So glad we found your KZread sir, we are planing a trip for 2025 and can't wait ..
I'm glad you found it too. Have a great trip in 2025. Thanks for leaving a message.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos! We have been anxiously awaiting your 2023 adventure! We binge-watched all 3 of them!
Thank you! So glad you liked them. Thanks for posting a message.
We were there for the first time in August. You were a few days ahead of us, but we kept track of your group during our trip by checking out your updates on FB. Totally enjoyed our trip and we will be making plans very shortly to explore the West Coast in 2025! Was totally the trip of a lifetime for us! Glad we got to see NL from East to West, but now we plan to have a great time exploring the things we didn't get the chance to see. on the western side. Thanks again for all of your helpful hints and the info you provided for first-timers! :)
You're welcome. I'm glad to know you enjoyed your trip so much. I know you will enjoy the west coast trip next year!
Is it time for a new commander soon?
It was time for a new Commander a few years ago lol. My old girl keeps working and hauling me to exciting places so I'll keep her around a bit longer.
I'm from the West Coast and i still use your maps for all our adventures. We would be lost without them. So thanks for that lol. and great series as always. Do you sell your EastCoastATV stickers?
I'm glad to know you find those maps useful. Thanks for letting me know. I'll sell you one for sure. Send me a private message on my Facebook page with your address so I can send you one.
I always look forward to your trips every year. Being from Port aux Basques, it's nice to see scenes of home.
Great video Patrick (I tell a great story with great photography and editing). As for the ride - We both have the same machine with similar mileage - and my experience with some mechanical challenges (and I see yours too) suggests that we're both going to have to invest in a newer one soon... You go first!
I have no idea what to get! There's so many nice machines to choose from.
Finally!!! I've been waiting for this series for a while. I know life gets in the way. Great video as usual. What's it like being a celebrity now?
Thank you! I'm glad you like them. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
