Just saw the show for the first time, thought it was just ok. I guess maybe I expected too much.

What impressed me was the Ruby. Dirt Wheels was there doing photo`s and they were trying to put the Ruby up on a rock with one front wheel in the air. They were gasing it slowly to position it just right. The front wheel in the air didn`t spin at all. Did I mention they were in mud and wet snow.

I`m not utility rider but I thought that was a pretty good.

I saw that episode also. That particular episode was kinda boring. I generally watch the show every week. It is not that great of a show, but the only atv show on, so I watch it. Once in a while, there is some good information given out.

The show is ATV Television. It features Doug Meyers (if this means anything)

The show is on the Outdoor Channel. (Not outdoor life channel). It is on Mondays, 5pm Eastern, Thursdays, 9:30 am Eastern, and Saturday at 3 pm Eastern.

The Outdoor Channel is carried nationwide by Dish Network and on some cable channels. Go to their website at www.theoutdoorchannel.com to see if it is offerred in your area. Hope this helps.

Did you see the episode where they went to the Polaris testing grounds a couple of weeks ago?

I did see the episodes for the new Polaris intro. The first one was just showing the new models and a fishing trip. On the second episode they got to ride the new machines. I was suprised that the Polaris folks were letting the writers beat on the machines like that. They were taking them through some pretty deep water and playing on some steep little hills. The host even commented that the Polaris engineers were eager to hear what the writers disliked about Polaris. I would have liked to hear the questions and responses to these questions. Overall, its not a bad show though.

I guess I`ll have to watch it some more to see if it gets as good as you say Magnum. I suppose you`ll make me drink a beer while watching it too right. LOL

You'll want to drink at least one, maybe two. Some of the stupid things they do on this show will make you shake your head in disbelief.

I like the show. I think it will only get better. I liked the show on the Polaris intro. That semi they have is awesome. I thought that Ranger was funny trying to get up that gravel pile too, he was sure having a hard time! I think they talk too much on the show, if they would ride more it would make the show better right there. Also, they need more aggressive riding. Maybe they don't ride aggressive cause of safety concerns for the audience.

I also really liked that Polaris R&D trailer. I would be the king of the riding area pulling that thing into the parking lot LOL. I agree, sometimes they ride like wimps on this show. I think your right, they are trying to show the safest way to ride. They do have a habit of doing a lot of talking, but I think that is their way of filling time. I would like them to do more shootouts with the machines. Stock for stock, what will they do against their competitors. That would be a show
