Nice one guys. There is this trick i saw here on KZitem of getting clear sound while you are wearing a helmet. The idea is, you wrap your mic with some soft material, like cotton or sponge form. How i works is, by wrapping the mic, it picks the loudest sound, which is your sound in the helmet. Also sound proofing the outside of the helmet sounds.

I've been saying to build snowbikes like this for years, particularly 200lbs or less, mono rail, front ski all the way back close to the track, low seat height, and rider weight further back over the track. Glad someone finally built my design. It causes me to scratch my head that the big companies are still chasing dirtbike conversions, but thats where the money is I guess. Ruffian is on the right track with this design and mindset. For serious deeper snow, the bike in this video needs a longer track though. Hopefully they'll build a 25-30hp model with a long skinny track, 136" long by 7.5"-9" wide would do it. And keep ot arpund 200lbs. Theres a huge market for utility oriented, super lightweight back country snowbikes with a low COG.

i have a feeling you'll be seeing a lot of these in snow rescue units in the future. it looks like this will go into dense brush where a snowmobile couldn't go, will still pull a gurney sled and with a different exhaust routing, it has a large, flat, stable area behind the seat to carry equipment. with a quieter exhaust system, i can see these in alpine military units as well. i can't believe this is the first purpose built commercial snobike. the concept has been around for years. as long as the frame and drivetrain are reliable, it had ought to be a pretty successful product for the company building them.
