See Mom, 'Professional Snow Biker' Is A Real Job Now
See Mom, 'Professional Snow Biker' Is A Real Job Now-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:14:11

With their second insane stunt video on these crazy dirt bike/snowmobile hybrids, Red Bull has officially created the job title “professional snow biker.” And here I was thinking I had a cool job.

The snow bike as we see it here was basically born in 2010. The machines ridden in this video are made by , an outfit which has effectively established itself as the preeminent snow bike brand, for the time being, by getting their products ridden by Brock Hoyer, Reagan Sieg and Ronnie Renner.

Those guys all come from the motocross, freestyle and all-out asskicking-on-dirt-bikes world. They’ve since been knighted as professional snow bikers and we’re now seeing the second wild Red Bull video of these hybrid machines in action.

As you can see the bikes have no wheels at all. The front is swapped for a ski that’s a healthy 10 inches wide while the tread is 10.5 inches fat and 120 inches long. It’s “designed with a convex shape, and each paddle is longer in the center and shorter on the sides, which gives it the feel of a dirt bike tire,” as explains.

The suspension allows for three different settings and positions to change the snow bike’s handling and personality.

That kit is simply slapped on to standard dirt bikes with, obviously, as much horsepower as possible.

“The amazing part is that it’s like a whole new clean slate and better yet every year when you go back to the same zone, it shapes up a little bit different,” says Renner. “I’m so psyched to get a lot more adventures in. The possibilities are endless, from jumps and drops in the back country to man-made freestyle hits with tricks to even racing, the sky is definitely the limit.”

So I guess that means we can expect more well-funded snow bike stunts on video. Think this will catch on to get anywhere near as popular as standard snowmobiles or dirt bikes?
