Welcome to Sled Talk — where it’s all about snowmobiling, stories, and the ride.


We’ve been riding together since the mid-70s, and let’s just say… we’ve seen it all. From pulling the cord to pulling our hair out, the sport has come a long way — and so have the stories.


Snowmobiling isn’t just something we do… it’s been a lifelong passion. And after decades on the trails, we’ve got no shortage of laughs, lessons, breakdowns, and unforgettable moments to share.


Whether you’re a hardcore rider, someone who’s been away from the sport for years, or brand new and just curious about life on the trails — you’re in the right place.


Our goal?
👉 Bring new riders into the sport
👉 Reconnect past riders with what they’ve been missing
👉 And celebrate everything that makes snowmobiling great


So fire up your sled… and let’s get into it.

  • POLARIS RECALL, TARIFFS & NEW SLEDS!
    Oct 14 2026

    Season 3 keeps rolling! Steve & Rob are back with another packed episode of Sled Talk, bringing snowmobilers a mix of industry news, new sleds, technology, events and some important questions heading into the riding season.

    This episode covers a LOT:

    NEW POLARIS MILITARY SNOWMOBILES — We take a look at Polaris' military sleds and the technology being used for specialized applications.

    BRP & THE TARIFF CHALLENGE — What could tariffs mean for BRP, snowmobile manufacturers, dealers, parts, pricing and ultimately the rider? We talk about the potential ripple effects across the snowmobile industry.

    NEW SNOWMOBILE SALES — With new sled prices already a major consideration for riders, could the industry be facing some challenges ahead? We discuss new snowmobile sales and some possible issues that could affect manufacturers, dealers and consumers.

    TECH TIP — POLARIS FUEL-TANK RECALL — This is one snowmobile safety issue you don't want to ignore. Polaris has issued Safety Recall S-24-01 involving certain 2021–2024 MATRYX, 2015–2024 AXYS and select 2013–2014 Pro-Ride snowmobiles. Under certain conditions, electrostatic discharge inside the fuel tank can ignite vapors and create a fire hazard. Polaris says affected owners should check their VIN and follow the current fuel and recall guidance.

    And of course, Steve & Rob give shout-outs to upcoming snowmobile events and talk about what's happening around the snowmobile community.

    THIS EPISODE FEATURES:

    • New Polaris military snowmobiles
    • BRP and the impact of tariffs
    • Tariffs and snowmobile pricing
    • New snowmobile sales and industry challenges
    • Possible issues facing the snowmobile market
    • Polaris snowmobile safety recall
    • Fuel tank fire and ESD concerns
    • Snowmobile maintenance & safety
    • Upcoming snowmobile events
    • Snowmobile industry news
    • Real-world snowmobile talk from Steve & Rob

    ⚠️ TECH TIP: If you own a Polaris snowmobile, check your VIN for outstanding recalls. Polaris provides a recall lookup and recommends having required safety repairs completed by an authorized dealer.

    Don't assume your sled is unaffected—check it before you ride.
