I call BULL SH!T! I don't give a Sh!t who Burandt is or what he might or might not ride. I didn't ride cats when he did and don't ride Polaris because they offered him $ to switch. I also could not give a Sh!t what products he endorses for the same reason. I'm not star struck, and I could care less what he sells his name and values to promote.
IMO most of the products he promotes are complete crap.
Trails West trailers are junk
Skins stuff is ill conceived garbage
Fox air shocks are worthless pogo sticks
Etc. Etc.
Maybe I'm the only one who feels that way, and that is fine with me.
Im on board with ya. I got the buraunt tv subscription and i get turned off when all he talks about or endorses are his sponsors, and bacicly our shoks are junk, we need a 36 in front end, we need a turbo, bla bla bla. This guy is an pro athlete , just like being a pro hockey player. Buying all his stuff is like buying a 500 $ hockey stick to play beer league hockey. I ride pol because of all the kewl tech thier usin,400 lb sled, belt drive, carbon fiber overstructure,quality fit and finish, well built sled, we were all disappointed for having a underpowered engine for so long but we hung on for some hope. Brp and cat has got alot of work to do with getting components up to date, cat finnaly ditched thier clutches for team industries, which is a huge step forward, but all of the chassis is junk.
The town i live in was dominate cat, i switched in 13 to pol, the cat guts could spank me in the deep with thier power and trak, but they were also breaking down constantly, engines, rails,clutches,running boards and the guys were getting tired of all the cost and down time from failures,now slowly the cat guys are comming over to pol cause they see a quality built product. I saw these qualities back in 13. Im the type of guy that does research and does my homework before i buy anything, and being in the welding industry i have an eye for integrady, along with 40 plus years of snowmobiling has trained me to look at the details, thats how i made my decision to ride my pro, im not star struck either and couldnt care less who rides what. Heres a prime example, chris permotes 509 goggles, iv been a user of them for years, i recently started checking out the world of goggles, and come to find out thats thiers some high tech products out there that make 509s look like thier from the 70s, but at the same price point, so we need to come to our own conclusions and be leary of marketing.
