As the summer begins to heat up in Minnesota Polaris is starting to crank out 2012 snowmobiles. Polaris Team Riders Chris Burandt, Randy Sherman, Dan Adams, and Keith Curtis were on hand to kick off the build of the 2012 RMKs in Roseau, Minn.

The guys tried their hand at applying graphics and met line workers as the first Pro-Ride RMKs rolled off the line. Check out the video below to see these brand new machines before they hit the dealerships.

The Slednecks crew is at it again with its new film – Slednecks 13. If you like extreme snowmobiling, you’d be hard pressed to find anybody that does it any better than these guys. Check out the trailer below.

Here’s what Slednecks has to say about the new project:

“Once again the Slednecks team has taken snowmobiling to a whole new level. Slednecks 13 features some of the most progressive riding our cameras have ever caught on film. Heath Frisby returns to the film series with the goal of winning Gold at X. Chris Burandt’s technical tree lines will leave you speechless. Paul Thacker and Cory Davis turn Alaska into a playground. Dan Treadway, Chris Brown, and Geoff Kyle rip up some of the deepest powder ever to hit British Columbia, while Cody Borchers and Brett Turcotte take freestyle tricks to the backcountry. Slednecks 13 also introduces a new star, Kalle “KJ” Johansson, that is redefining backcountry riding with amazing drops and technical lines. Shot on beautiful High Definition, the cinematography is almost as good as the riding. Slednecks 13 is the best film we have made in years!”

Backcountry snowmobile guru Chris Burandt may have wrapped up his on-snow adventures until this coming fall, but he hasn’t been kickin’ back doing nothing. In fact, Burandt has been plenty busy.

He tells Snowmobile.com: “…I’ve got some pretty cool things to throw out there for you all. First, the website has been re-done and I would like to say a big thanks to Dreamers Studios for doing a fantastic job on the site. The site is much more user friendly and has every little tidbit of information you may need. New pictures and some sweet helmet cam shots from this year are going up as we speak so be sure to browse around and check out all the cool new features at www.burandtsbackcountryadventure.com.

He also tells us that he will be selling his fleet from last year to make room for the 2011s. You can check out the ‘Shop’ section on the site for pictures, prices and details on all of the 2010’s he’s selling.

But Burandt is most excited about some big news! He says: “New for our guests for the 2010 – 2011 season, Burandt’s Back Country Adventure is offering an exclusive riding area for you and you alone! Burandt’s Back Country Adventure has gained 100 percent private access to 10,000-plus acres of some of the gnarliest terrain the Colorado Rockies has to offer. I have driven by this riding area hundreds of times always thinking how insane it would be to put some fresh tracks in this zone. Well, we’ve pulled some strings and now have the ONLY access to this incredible area. Not that we have ever had a problem finding fresh snow in the past, but Burandt Back Country Adventure clients will literally be exploring this zone with me in an area that snowmobiles may have never been before.

Polaris is clearly giddy about its new 800 Pro-RMK and it has produced a couple of videos to let you know exactly what it can do. You can see both videos below the jump

The first video is all about freestylers Dan Adams, Chris Burandt and Randy Sherman and what they think of Polaris’ new steed. The second video features the Polaris engineers who designed the new mountain sled.

Since both of these videos are courtesy of Polaris, you can expect everything to paint a pretty rosy picture. Regardless, hearing from some of the top riders and engineers responsible for the sled does offer some interesting insight.
