Just to clarify since so many people are asking - There was no trailering involved. The trip started from Cass Lake in Oakland County and we rode the streets and freeway all the way to Detroit. It took approximately 45 minutes one-way.
I'm surprised thre wasn't more snow on the ground/streets. The plows must have been hard at it. That is absolutely fantastic -- a snowmobiler's ultimate wet dream! Maybe you can get a larger "secret sled group" together so that when the next big storm hits, you can all hit the streets as a gang -- that would be cool. How far north did you go -- I assume at least up to Southfield?
The anchor people and cops on the news were complete idiots. Really? Seat belts? Crotch rockets and hogs have seat belts? Complete joke. I understand it could be illegal but give me a brake that they are not suited for the road.
Nice video!! I like how you listed the landmarks! I saw a short clip about this on teh news. Don't think you did anything wrong, unless your snomobiles didn't have license plates on them, not to mention insurance.
Forget these idiots cryin about it bein illegal. Its not a bad thing to do something out of the ordinary, honestly if i had a sled i probably would have done the same thing. hardly any traffic, and a sled is a safer bet then any car or truck in them conditions.
nice vid, yeah, posting this would draw attention to ya, we all know most people who have sleds or ridden one would love to have the ca hones to do this. hope u don't get in any trouble all looks like innocent fun, but u know they won't take it that way.
I wondered about the speed. Taking land marks and calculating speed from the time it took to get between the points, according to the video, they're only traveling at 58-60mph. Awesome guys!
I enjoyed the vid, and it was a blast i bet!! 30+ yrs ago, i worked at a parking deck right on Congress next to Cobo, and did all the snowplowing there plus the three or four other parking decks downtown, I loved working there, esp at nite... as here, the city was deserted and quiet, felt like i had the whole city to myself.
how long those things last? hahah well ya found out! awesome job guys. wish i could have brought a ski rope and gotten a tow from ya ;) that would have been even more epic!
according to the state poif a snowmobile doesn't qualify as a road safe vehicle because it doesn't have seat belts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if a snowmobile doesn't qualify as a road safe vehicle then what about a can-am spyder or a motorcycle?
in fact some after-market co's are making wheels that can replace the skies and the track on a snowmobile so would it still be considered a non road safe vehicle?
As one of those "animals"who has lived here all of his life, maybe you should come back down here and at a fool some more so that we can destroy you. Now that would be a net service to humanity.
@civic- clearly you've never been to the river walk or owned a snowmoble. They've no doubt damaged a very nice park.
Let me be clear. I have NO problem with urban trail riding, do it all the time. All I ask is to leave the last nice thing left in this shit hole city alone.
yall didnt "damage" anything, it's fucking cement covered in snow and ice, great video, wish Ann Arbor got as much as Detroit did with that "blizzard"
Obey the laws and speed limits all you want, there's nothing you can do about the carbide and stud damage that you guys no doubt did the the river walk, in my opinion one of the nicest things to happen to Detroit in years. Trash the already destroyed Detroit surface streets all you want but leave brand new brick pavered city parks the F alone!
Who cares if dpd see it we do it all the time up an down 8 mile rd an been doing it for years lol WTF can they say nothing it's not like anybody going to jail over a sled damm cry baby man y'all keep having fun an the next big snow we can all meet at the same place but this time it be like of my boys riding lol
That is bad azz! We do it out in rochester all the time, but downtown...that is a sweet ride...especially down the lodge! lmao.
To the guy who said "better hope DPD doesnt see this"
First DPD couldnt catch them in as much snow we got this year. Second I dont think they would really give a flip anyway, they SHOULD have way better things to do. Third you cant identify people from their helmets, or in any way prove it was them...so.......stfu party pooper!
Since the news has sent this video from 2,000 views to 25,000 views overnight, I thought it best to clear up a few things. (1) This trip was at 3am in the middle of Detroit's largest snow storm of 2011, therefore, there was little traffic on the roads for us to interfere with other commuters (2) Despite the illusion of the video, all posted speed limits were obeyed. The vehicles that were passed, were traveling well below speed limits due to the snow on the roads, no wreck-less driving occurred.
@MistaFrista Bigot... Have you ever even been to Detroit? Shut your face. I take it from your comment you are probably between the ages of 11 and 15... grow up dude. 'New Africa'? WTF?!? Are you from the south?
thats really cool, i ride a lil around my town, but never on the highway
