How to Do a Bowtie in the Backcountry | EP 12 

This guy is seriously one of the most undervalued riders in the sport.

Sooo glad we have guys like you to help us along the way! Thanks caleb!

Awesome video, really appreciate the explanation and the time you spend explaining everything, keep up the great work!

Awesome vid bro!!! You really broke it down clearly, and I liked you explaining potential errors. Thanks Caleb!

Very helpful..... The walk through of your line on the hill makes it super easy to see what to do and where to do it. Love the videos!

You said the sled will go where I look. I look at the top of hills and it doesn't always go there 😂😂

Awesome vid! And love that you're offering to critique submitted videos

Now to try it in Australian snow this winter coming :)

Great explanation. Keep it up. Thank you

Thanks Caleb!

Best snowmobiling videos on YT for sure! What kind of gear ratios are you running? Would be really cool to see a breakdown of your preferred sled setups for your riding styles. Keep it up gents, lots of winter left!

Well done!

Great video !!! Appreciate your hard work! Can you also do a video on down hill hop over and re-entry?) since you doing it better then everyone !🤟🏻🤙🏻

This channel is epic, keep it up brother! I’m up here in Alaska and fairly new to sport, two years in… I just picked up 2022 Alpha 165. Is the 165” track harder to do these on?

I need to learn this move on the Khaos 165 ;D

Awesome!!!🤘

The sled will go where you look Me: look at those pretty trees 😬

Nice!🤩

Sweet video man thank you! Where can I cop one of those proven progression stickers!?

I'm practicing on 10 to 12ft snow drifts out in the prairies, straight up straight down. I'm beginning to realize that might be much harder then on a mountain side, rolled many times and fell off dozens more😩😅

Прекрасный подход к объяснению того что получается у тебя превосходно

Is a 2.6 track a big disadvantage for this move?

Whats the main goal of doing a bowtie? Esthetics or there is a practical purpose? I’m new to backcountry sledding so forgive my ignorance.

Are these maneuvers mostly reserved for full mountain sleds ? I live in southern Ontario which is mainly trail riding. I bought a Switchback Assault thinking I could get the best of both worlds. Can I be riding in the steeper stuff using these techniques on a my 144" track Assault ? Your vids are awesome, thanks !!

Thanks for the advice caleb! I'm going to try to nail my first bowtie tomorrow. 2 feet of freshies to be had on the MT/ID border! Also wondering, do you find it easier with a cut tunnel, shorter track? I'm having a bit of difficulty with my 19 gen 4 summit 165. Thinking besides my lack of skills in this department, the wider rails and longer track inhibits agility to an extent.

Caleb, do you have any thoughts on worrying about nailing your thigh with the handle bars on the way down? even with my steering post forward on my skidoo it worries me. Lol

👍

Is a stock sled capable of doing this with a non-ridiculously excellent rider such as yourself?

Can you still do it if your not that heavy? Like 100 pounds?

Do you prefer Fox coil or air shock?

Gravity

Fu** ya caleb, keep it up 👍

You think you could do this on a 2009 stock m8

Can I do this with my yamaha nytro lol 😆
